Year Four and Year Five are the second and third years in Key Stage Two; we use cross-curricular projects in which subjects overlap to reinforce and compliment each other. Each project is planned carefully to meet the needs and capabilities of the child. We aim to develop the knowledge, concepts, skills and attitudes necessary for your child's whole development. We embrace 'Learning Without Limits' where children are not put into boxes but are given the space to grow and to surprise themselves (and us) about what they can achieve.

TERM 1 & 2: A Country Comparison
Welcome to Badgers Class
Our first topic this term runs over two terms. It is called A Country Comparison - Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? We are busy researching countries around the world (Brazil and Iceland) and comparing them to the United Kingdom.
On our WOW day, the children took up their new roles as researchers for MI5, to help their field agent, Carmen Sandiego, in her fight against V.I.L.E.S evil plots to steal various treasures from around the world. Through intelligence research, the children identified the three countries we need to focus on and the treasures V.I.L.E may have their sights set on: The Crown Jewels, Pele's World Cup Trophy and some priceless Viking artefacts. They have begun building their case files and suspect V.I.L.E. are working out of the newly installed Seamonster in the local area. Please keep your eyes peeled and report any suspicious behaviour to us! ;-)
In the afternoon, the children experienced (on a small scale) the pressure of a geyser and then created some beautiful Northern Lights artwork (photos to follow).
