Class Four
Class Four is home to our Year 5 and 6 children, who take on an increasing level of responsibility in school. The children enjoy a very active role as school councillors, librarians and eco-warriors. We enjoy reading: we have a plethora of high-quality texts we use as class reads and make sure we have story time every day. Our writing is inspired by the books we read; the trips we take; and the practical projects we are involved in. Our trips have included visits to Blists Hill Victorian Town, Cosford Air Museum; and Hereford Cathedral. We always look forward to our annual residential trips to either Llain to immerse ourselves in outdoor and adventurous activities such as sailing, paddle boarding, canoeing and much more, or to Liverpool to experience life in a city. During the autumn term we enjoy our weekly trip to the Stiperstones site where we build DT projects in our purpose-built classroom; create culinary delights in our teaching kitchen; and ride our mountain bikes through the challenging terrain of the Shropshire Hills. These trips give us the opportunity to apply the learning we do in our well-equipped classroom at the Chirbury site.
Each year, Year Six build a battery powered ‘Goblin Car’ and take it out to events to climb in and race. We are also able to participate in sports activities with other schools, such as grass track racing, cross country and football. Most children in our class will tell you how much they love our Rock Band Club. Children learn to play the drums and keyboard with their friends and share their performances regularly. Curriculum music lessons also give us the chance to play the clarinet and glockenspiel.
We take part in a wide range of transition activities with both The Community College, Bishops Castle and Mary Webb School and Science College. The class is taught by Mrs Watkin, and ably supported by Mrs Roberts. We are very proud of the resilience and independence the children develop in these older primary years.
