Class 4 have been studying rivers and how they meander. We then went outside and made our own rivers. Making sure they had strong banks and meandered all over the place.

Following on from making the rivers. We made sure to test them.

Class 4 have been to look at the local cenotaph in honour of the local people who have died in war. We found a name and then researched about them before creating "Poppy Crosses" in honour of them.

Mr Rigby has been coming to teach us Samba music. We have done this in our new outdoor classroom.
