Weekly Class Updates

Roman History Day

Year 4 Lisbon and Year 4 Padua celebrated a Roman History Day. They came dressed as Emperors, soldiers and rich nobles. The children took part in many exciting activities such as shield making, designing Roman coins and exploring mosaics.

Science- Digestion

Year 4 took part in a hands-on experiment to learn about the main features of the digestion system. The children really enjoyed this experiment, especially as it was messy!  

Electric Umbrella

Year 4 enjoyed a very special afternoon workshop with local celebrity group, Electric Umbrella. They were taught how to play some very interesting instruments that have been specially adapted for individuals with physical and learning disabilities. Electric Umbrella brought lots of energy and the children discussed how music can be shared and enjoyed by everyone.
