Fox Class News (Year 3 & 4)
21/06/23- We have had lots of fun this week making our own Maths games! We have included lots of aspects of our Maths, such as money and fractions. Some of us made new versions of games such as Monopoly and others made up a brand new game.
07/06/2023- We have had a lovely day today at the River Stour Educational Trust Centre. First we went pond dipping to find new and exciting creatures. We were able to identify lots of life within the river! We also went on a boat ride and were able to operate the lock too. We then had a quiz where we had to search for features around the site. We practiced water safety and working as a team. A great day in the sunshine!
25/05/23- Thinking about Mrs Nichols’ assembly all about what we are going to aspire to be when we grow up, we have been thinking about the skills we need to help us and how we can apply these to our learning today.

Thinking about our earthquake learning, we became builders and designed the perfect building to withstand an earthquake over two ‘tectonic plates’. We found that the heaviest building, that was wide and had a large surface area rather than tall, worked the best!
We have been reading 'The Butterfly Lion' by Michael Morpurgo and thinking, in teams, about how we can persuade Bertie's dad to keep the lion cub. After discussing, we used our persuasive techniques and managed to persuade ‘Bertie’s dad’ to keep the lion cub!
A big welcome to the new 2021/2022 Fox class!
