Fourth Classes were both very lucky to have a very special visitor who came to school this week – Frankie the archaeologist!  Frankie did some extremely interesting workshops with us all about archaeology and the Vikings.  We got to ask lots of questions, work as history detectives and handle some amazing artefacts!

From Viking warriors to cesspits, slaves to jewellery we learned a huge amount about Viking times.

Fourth Class had a great time planning, building and testing our playground structures.  We used a variety of different shapes and folding techniques to make fun and stable structures.  We then created our own tinfoil testers to make sure our playgrounds would pass health and safety tests!

Fourth class have had a wonderful time learning lots of new dance moves – here are some pictures of everyone busy moving to the rhythm and the beat of the music!

Fourth Class had great fun planning, designing and making skiers made out of tin foil inspired by the Winter Olympics.   All of the creations were tested on the Taney slopes!

Here are the fourth class engineers hard at work!  As teams they figured out how to construct a working aqueduct which transports water!

Fourth class have recently been inspired by the bright, vibrant and colourful work of the artist Romero Britto.  Here are some examples of our work!!

The pupils in Ms Gorman’s completed wonderful Viking projects.  It was excellent to hear so many interesting facts.  Have a look at the pictures below of some of the projects.  The clay models, inspired by the Vikings, are very cool too! Well done, 4^th Class!

Fourth Class have been very busy learning about the Vikings.  We completed group projects and collages based on the Viking longships.  As well as this, the pupils have been working very hard on their individual Viking research projects and it’s been wonderful to hear the fascinating facts as they present their projects to the class.  Well done Fourth Class!
