I hope you've all had a lovely summer break and are ready for the new school year. Our topic this term will be the Tudors. We will be learning all about the huge changes which took place under the Tudor monarchs during the 16th and 17th centuries. We will be looking closely at the Tudor royal family including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I and will also be looking at what life what like for normal people living in Tudor Britain.

I'm really excited to get to know you all better and for the year ahead - I hope you are too!

- Ms. Attride

With autumn well and truly on the way, Class Four ventured outside to do some outdoor learning. Inspired by Andy Goldworthy's land art sculptures we collected natural resources from the Green and made our own nature sculptures. The results were fantastic! We also made creatures out of clay and the natural materials we had collected and then came up with stories as to how the creatures came to be.
