Today, we used our knowledge of Christianity to produce a picture of the key characters in the nativity. We used silhouettes on a colourful background to make the characters stand out and create a stained glass effect. We then used silhouettes of Mary, baby Jesus, Joseph and the star shining brightly above the manger.

Over our two art days, we explored the work of two inspiring artists: Marela Zacarías and Vincent van Gogh. We created artist focus pages to study their unique styles and considered how different areas of art connect to each artist’s approach. We experimented with colour mixing, blending primary colours to create secondary colours, and practiced continuous line drawing. In addition, we enjoyed collage making and expressive painting using acrylics, allowing us to develop a range of creative techniques.

🏛️ A Quick Look at Today’s Assembly
We had a visitor come in for a 30‑minute assembly to explain what Parliament is and why it matters. They broke it down simply: Parliament is where laws are debated and decisions about the country are made. It’s made up of the House of Commons, where elected MPs sit, and the House of Lords, who review and improve proposed laws.
The speaker reminded us that Parliament shapes everything from education to national policies, so understanding it helps us understand the world we live in. A short Q&A at the end let students ask about elections, debates, and how young people can get involved.
A brief session, but a surprisingly engaging one that made politics feel a lot more relevant.
Year 4 - Parliament assembly and workshop
Date: 16th Dec 2025 @ 1:25pm
Today, we had a visit from Parliament. The afternoon started with an assembly all about the UK Government then Year 4 were lucky enough to have a workshop with Rachael Dodgson (Education and engagement officer for the North West). Rachael talked to us about the House of Lords and the House of Commons. Did you know that the King isn't allowed in the House of Commons at all? We also learned that school is in the Blackpool South constituency and our MP is called Chris Webb. Rachael told us we can find all of his details if we want to contact him about something or find our MP for our home address if we live further away by searching 'find my MP'. We discussed what qualities an MP would need. Rachael was impressed with our answers such as good oracy skills, confident and approachable. After the assembly, Rachael did a workshop with us where we debated like we were in the House of Commons. To start with, we watched a video of MPs debating and learned what to call each other and how to act/ speak. Rachael was super impressed with our oracy skills during our debate about whether all pupils should walk to school at least once a week. One member of Year 4 acted as the speaker and each person debating had to address her as Madam Speaker each time. What a fun afternoon!

This week, we have been writing letters to Santa. We told him why we thought we deserved him to visit our houses and politely asked for what we would like for Christmas. We made sure we used our learning from throughout the half term to use capital letters, finger spaces, full stops and correct letter formation in our letters.

In Science, we have been looking at what an animal needs to survive. We have been thinking about their lifecycles and comparing how different animals and humans live their lives. We thought about their offspring or if the lay eggs. We then made lifecycles for humans, ducks and a butterfly.

In Year Two, we have been working on Mastering Number by exploring how numbers are positioned on a number line. We have been thinking carefully about what comes before and after a number and using this to understand patterns. For example, if we start with 10, we have been asking questions like: “How many more do we need to make 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15?” This helps us build a strong understanding of addition and the relationship between numbers.

Year 3 and 4 had a fantastic time at the school disco this week! The hall was buzzing with excitement as the children enjoyed classic party games like pass the parcel, cheering each other on as each layer was unwrapped. The dance floor was full of energy, with everyone showing off their best moves to festive Christmas songs and their new favourite tracks from KPop Demon Hunters.
A highlight of the evening was joining Mrs Darwen for some lively Zumba dances, which had everyone laughing and moving together. Children also loved choosing treats from the Tuck Shop, and a special mention goes to those who showed wonderful kindness by buying snacks for friends who didn’t have any money. A brilliant, joy-filled celebration!
