Singing at The Tower of London
A short clip of one of the songs sun by year 4 in what we can all agree was a fantastic performance.
Year 4 had a great day out to The Tower of London, and really enjoyed taking part in the massed choir, in front of a large audience!
Year 4 have been thinking about their rights as children, as guaranteed by the UN. St Peter's is a rights respecting school, so it's important that all the children know, and think about, their rights.
Year 4 visited the Tower of London ahead of their choir visit later this term!
Year 4 enjoyed learning about skipping with Skippy John.
Skipping is a great way to stay fit and improve coordination, and Skippy John taught us lots of different techniques which we'll look forward to practicing later.
Nancy explains her ideas for a stop motion animation!
Year 4 had a great day out at the University of Westminster as part of World of Work Week. We went on a tour and got to see how things worked at a bustling university. Then we learned about film and TV and even made our own stop motion animation films!
We enjoyed designing our postcards from the past, using card and oil pastels to recreate postcards that would be sent to soldiers during WW1
