4S- Castles

In history, Year 4 have been learning about the Normans.


We linked our history topic with D.T and created our own Motte and Bailey castles!


The were many steps in creating the castles and it definitely got fiddly at times. However, the children worked well to create the best castle they could!


Here are some of the castles!

Year 4- Maths

In Miss Shah's maths group, the children created their own maths story book.


The children chose either a well known story or created their own story but had to ensure there were maths questions on each page.


For example, Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.  Humpty Dumpty sat on his wall at 9:25am. He fell off at 10:05am. How long had he been sitting on the wall?


The children thoroughly enjoyed creating their maths books!

4S- Sewing

As mentioned in a previous blog post, year 4 started to create their own version of a scene from the Bayeux Tapestry.




The children worked incredibly hard to sew their designs! Here are some of the creations.

Whole school - Writing Showcase - Reading Picnic

Miss Staples was so inspired by the UFO landing on Monday that she set the whole school a challenge.

Each class had to write a creative story about the The Alien Invasion.

But it had to be a short story. Only 100 words!!! 

On Friday was the writing showcase.  Every class had to perform their stories and then were judged on their performances.

Judges were looking for a variety of things from the performance including: expression,  literally techniques and actions.

It was exciting, very exciting.

Our very gifted judging team had high expectations and were hard to impress.....

Judges: Mr Jones, Mrs Overton, Charlie Harding (yr6 school council) & Ella Hales (yr6 school council)

But each class tried their best.....

We saw some magnificent performances....

4S- Temptation...

Eve was tempted to eat the apple of the tree of knowledge. How would year 4 react to a similar situation?


At the start of the day, Miss Shah laid out a can of coke and a cake accompanied by the sign 'DO NOT TOUCH'.
What would the children do or say?

Miss Shah was very surprised that the children didn't say anything about the items but very impressed that they followed the sign.


Last lesson for our R.E lesson we discussed the story of Adam and Eve. Miss Shah explained how she was trying to tempt the children and was pleased that they have respected Miss Shah's properties and have demonstrated good manners!

Whole school - English - Something strange happened at Suttons Primary!

Have you heard? Last week something very strange happened at Suttons Primary. Mr Gentle arrived in school on Monday morning to find some very peculiar items on the KS2 field. The police were called and then the S>P>I>T team were brought in (Special Paranormal Investigation Team). It was believed that an alien had landed in the school.  Special detective D.BRAY arrived and the investigation began.

When the children of Suttons Primary arrived at school that morning they were able to visit the landing sight and started to help the S>P>I>T investigator. Many of the children reported that they heard strange noises and saw strange things the night before!

Currently the S>P>I>T team are still investigating the matter but are very grateful to all the children who helped us in the investigation .

Here are some photos from Monday 3rd July when then items were found...

Letters received from the Police and S>P>I>T team.

Our students were very good at investigating and looking for clues.
