Year 4 grew kale, lettuce, bay leaves, spinach, rosemary and mint to sell at the famous Borough Market. The children received training on how to sell and grow the produce, and everything completely sold out!
The money we raised will be donated to a local charity. We have started growing our own fruits and vegetables in the Forest School so that we can go and sell them at Borough Market.
In Literacy, we have been learning how to create a feeling of suspense in our stories. We have read lots of excellent examples written by other authors and this has helped us to gather lots of ideas!
Y4 visited Creekside Discovery Centre to find out more about the features of the River Thames and some of the creatures that make it their home. We also studied lots of interesting artefacts that had been found by or in the river.
In DT, year 4 have been making and testing boats. We wanted to find out what material and shape made the best sail.
Year 4 had lots of fun competing in the Platform Cricket tournament in Greenwich Park, and one of our teams even got through to the quarter finals!
This term St Mary's was lucky enough to get a place on the London Beekeepers' Association "Honeybee Programme".
As well as a visit to the school from a beekeeper and a gardening session planting bee-friendly plants, Year 4 visited Brockwell Park Apiary to learn why bees are so special and important. We had an amazing time! |
