World Book Day in Year 4 based on Perfectly Norman who grew wings.

Thank you, Y5 for such an enjoyable World Book Day 2026! You looked great in your costumes or dressed in something that made you unique! In class, we focused on the book Perfectly Norman , by Tom Percival. We created story maps, to practice our sequencing events skills and made emoji maps that tracked the emotions and feelings of characters throughout the book.

As we celebrate national science week next week, Y5 have been busy preparing their projects ready to take to a showcasing event at Standish Community High School. The theme of science week this year is 'curiosity'. We have been set a space themed task where we have to protect the 'astronauts' in our landing craft by creating a shock-absorbing system for our lander. Well done, Y5, you were extremely resourceful!

Thank you to all the Year 4 Parents and grandparents who have supported us in class as Mystery Readers. We have loved welcoming you into our classroom and it has showed us all the importance of reading for pleasure.

We've had a lovely week. Working hard with phonics and a walk to Standish Library.
