Take a look at some of the amazing learning we do in our class!
Year 4 took part in this year's rugby festival with Warrington Wolves. We loved competing against some of the other local schools and especially loved meeting Wolfie!
We visited the World Museum in Liverpool for a workshop linked to our learning on Ancient Greece. We were able to handle ancient artefacts like real archaeologists and learned lots of information about life in Ancient Greece. We also, unexpectedly, experienced a real fire in the museum and were evacuated from the building! We were incredibly sensible and calm, applying what we practise in our fire drills in school to help us evacuate the building quickly and safely.
