The Iron Man by Ted Hughes has grasped our imaginations over the last few weeks and last Friday we had a rather unexpected arrival. A space-bat-angel-dragon appeared in our classroom. We were astounded! As eyewitnesses to this event, we swiftly jotted down our observations, timings and strange occurrences before writing our own eyewitness recounts.

Also, the year 4 children have thoroughly enjoyed their musical studies this term. We have been using 'Ten Pieces Party' from the BBC as inspiration to compose our own melodies. By experimenting with the order of our bars and the musical notes we successfully created our own compositions on the glockenspiel. We have explored rhythm, melody and dynamics within our learning.
