Year 4

Regimental Sergeant Major Jack Wadsworth, visited Year 4 to make sure the army recruits were up to scratch. The children listened to their orders and became a disciplined force ready to go to war at any moment. They learnt how to march up and down the playground and turn in different directions. There was lots […]

Year 4 went to Casterton to play in a tag rugby festival for the under 9’s. Amazingly they won all six of their matches. They didn’t let one try  in from their opposing teams. They were also great sportsmen and ambassadors for St Marys, as they shook everyone’s hand and led the cheers for their […]

Jack and Daisy, our head boy and girl took part in the Remembrance service held at St Mary’s Church. Many thanks for their contribution to this very important service of remembrance.

Year 4 really enjoyed a whole day devoted to exploring electricity. Fran, from C-STEM, delivered an entertaining and interesting day and we all learnt a lot. We became electrical engineers, building different kinds of circuit using wire, batteries, bulbs and switches. We tested materials to see if they were insulators or conductors of electricity. We […]

Year 4 are once again taking part in the Comic Art Festival in Kendal. We have produced a display of Moomins for Oxfam. If you’re in Kendal please take a tour around all the displays…..and then vote for St Mary’s!

In Year 4 we have been studying the Maya of Central America. They lived approximately a thousand years ago. For our home projects we explored the invention of chocolate; their number system and the construction of their amazing temples. These were often splattered with blood from their human sacrifices! Some children made Power Point Presentations […]

Year 4 studied Sweden. We looked at the history of Sweden and studied the Vikings. Some of our Vikings went on a rampage! We baked ginger biscuits; listened to the music of Abba and created a dance; we made small rooms inspired by IKEA and made detailed drawings of Viking long boats. We had a […]

Year 4 are really enjoying our rugby training with Danny. We are practising throwing and catching and we know when we’re off-side! It does seem to rain every time we go out though!

For the first time in many years, the weather has been perfect for the county show. The school stand in the Learning For Life tent looked fantastic, the mini beast theme was a huge success. Year 4 and 5 have had a great day, enjoying all there was to offer. We have even been in […]
