  • Design and Technology – Crumbles

    This term, Year 4 have been studying electronics and control in Design and Technology. We used ‘Crumbles’ to explore how to create a circuit with different outputs (linked to our science topic) and how to program the sparkles and the motor in different ways.

    Our design brief was to create a moving picture with an element which lights up. We thoroughly enjoyed this project and were delighted with the outcome, so on Friday 15th December, we invited our parents into school to share our projects with them.

    Thank you to @ComputingHubSAC for the loan of the equipment to make this project possible.

  • Christmas Time

    On Wednesday 13th December, we enjoyed a wonderful Christmas dinner with all our friends – our favourite part was definitely the crackers and the bad jokes!

    On Thursday 14th December, the PTA organised for us to meet Santa and decorate biscuits in the Elf’s workshop!

  • The Wind in the Willows

    On Wednesday 22nd November, the whole school had our annual visit from Image Theatre, who performed the story of The Wind in the Willows.

    As always, we thoroughly enjoyed the interactive show, with many children being chosen to take part as characters in the story. The whole school were taught songs which everyone joined in with.

  • Walton-on-the-Naze

    Year 4 enjoyed a wonderful, fun filled day at the beach with the rest of the school. We loved playing in the sea, which many of us hadn’t done before, as well as building and digging on the sand. It gave us an opportunity to explore and discuss the physical and human features of the coast too as well as making comparisons with the coast as a habitat, to that of our school grounds.

  • Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies

    The children in Year 4 and Year 5 worked incredibly hard to rehearse and perform this production to the school and their parents. The children enjoyed the rehearsals as well as learning the songs, dances and the DREADFUL JOKES. It was enjoyable for the children as well as the adults. Dreadful jokes and silly sock phrases was thought to be the best part (as some may think). Some children learnt once you’ve done your first scene you’ll find there is no need to be nervous, but really it was all the children’s hard work that was the best part. They were truly wonderful!

  • Treasure Island Pantomime trip

    On Thursday 15th December, we boarded one of four coaches which took us to the pantomime in Welwyn Garden City at Campus West. This year’s production was Treasure Island! We were welcomed into the theatre by the staff and settled into our seats with our sweets and drinks to enjoy the show.

    The most favourite parts of the performance were:

    • When the actors came into the audience dancing (and many children got a high five!).
    • When water was squirted at us in the audience.
    • 12 days of Christmas song, especially the toilet rolls being thrown into the audience.
    • The songs and dancing (including a popular sea shanty which we all knew the words to).
    • The pantomime dame was very funny.
    • All the slapstick comedy, especially when it got messy!
  • Forest School – Autumn term 2022

    During Forest School sessions the children have chosen new and challenging activities to explore and engage with as well as revisiting those enjoyed in past years. They have been further developing their skills especially in sculpting with clay and in woodwork. They continue to extend their knowledge of plants and animals in the school grounds and are getting very good at bird identification. The photos below show a selection of the range of activities during the term.

  • Christmas Dinner

    We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas dinner prepared by our school cooks.  We could choose between a turkey dinner or vegetable wellington.  Both options were enjoyed by all, as well as the Christmas crackers, hats, jokes, music and who can forget pudding!

  • Hatfield House

    The whole school had an outdoor day exploring the grounds of Hatfield House.

    Year 4 have been learning how to use a compass.  Using those skills they were able to mark on their sheets what key features were found at certain compass points.

  • Science at The Ryde School 2021 – 2022

     

    Class 4 have been learning about electrical circuits, they had to make a circuit which worked and worked out the rules involved in making a complete circuit.

     

     

     

     

    The children have worked on locating microhabitats around the school and what conditions are created in these micro-habitats.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Class 4 had a science workshop using the material Plaztazote. They learnt about how the material changes from a solid to a more malleable material. They used this new material to create a mask.
