What can you find out about North America? How many countries are there? What is the climate like? What are the notable landmarks?

Post any interesting facts in the comments section!

Have a lovely Christmas and a happy new year!

Year 4 are investigating which liquid will do most damage to an egg shell. The egg represents one of our tooth. The shell protects the inside, just like the enamel protects the nerves and blood vessels in teeth. Which do you think will do most damage? 

The Y4 fundraiser is underway! Thank you everybody for your donations.

Year 4 are currently researching information to help them write a newspaper report on The Titanic. This morning, the children have taken on he roles of survivors and newspaper reporters. 

Yesterday morning, Y4 learned and performedthe poem ‘Shooting Stars’ by James Carter. The children thought about how the tone and volume of their voice affects the meaning of a poem and how facial expressions and gesture are important.

At the moment, Y4 are learning about classification keys. The children are using liquorice all sorts to practise. 

Dear Sam, Bill and Nigel,

My name is Alexander and I am in Year 4 at Woodfield Primary School. Thank you for allowing me and my class to wander around The National Waterways Museum. I thought  it was epic! I particularly liked the boats because I was surprised how they lived on the barges.

The reason I loved going on the barges is I have never been on one, although my granddad owns a small boat.  As a family, we have been out for days, weekends and holidays all over England.

Thank you for a wonderful time, I hope to see you again soon.

Yours Faithfully,

Alexander

Year 4 spent today in Ellesmere Port at the National Waterways Museum. In the morning, the children were split into two groups to attend workshops on geology and forces. Both of these were fantastic learning experiences, led by the superb volunteers. After dinner, we had the opportunity to explore the site on our own, discovering all about the history of canals and the boats that use them. Every single child was a credit to Woodfield. Well done Y4!

On Friday the 27th of May the Great Woodfield Bake Off will take place in the school hall, followed by the usual coffee morning.  There is a KS2 category, so if any of the Year 3 children would like to enter they should collect an application from the office.

From the cakes provided for our class fundraiser, I know we have some fantastic bakers amongst the Year 3 mums and dads, so we would also love to see some entries into the adult category too.

Good luck!

On Thursday the 26th of May, Year 3 will be travelling to Underwater Street in Liverpool.  Any children who do not have a school dinner should bring their packed lunch and drink in a named bag with disposable packaging.  Children who usually have a school dinner will have a packed lunch provided for them.  If you would prefer to pack a lunch for them on that day, please inform the office, otherwise one will be made for them.  We will be inside all day so the children will not need a waterproof coat.  They will wear their Woodfield uniform as usual.  If you have any queries please let me know.
