A video

Imagine what it must have been like on a ship trapped in a storm during the 17th Century. 4CW lived it!

Exciting Stuff!

4CW were the first children ever to find a Spring Tail at Solaris. In 15 years no one had seen one in the pond. Very exciting!

Pond Dipping

4CW have done their second visit to the pond at Solaris to see how it changes over the year. We found that there was a big change in temperature and mini beasts.
What does it mean to be a leader or a follower? In our Tempest workshop today we assumed both roles and experienced the fun and frustrations felt.


Remainders.

A lot of grown ups panic when asked to divide with a remainder. Research shows that letting children teach each other how to do something provides great results.  Here we are teaching each other how to divide two digit numbers where there will be a remainder.

The Tempest!

Today 4CW have been learning about Shakespeare's The Tempest. We had lots of discussion and acted out how we would feel if we were lost on an island in a storm.

Spelling Bee!

This week we had the second round of our school Spelling Bee. The best spellers in Y3&4 battled it out in these semi finals to find our top speller. Everyone of them was a credit to Thames, their family and themselves. The next round will be soon!




Outdoor Education

Thames has a proud new tradition of outdoor education, giving the children a chance to get out of Blackpool and enjoy nature. 4CW love it! This is our trip to Beacon Fell.



New posts coming very soon!

Sorry about the delay! New posts are imminent!
