In Science this week, we learned about why we have day and night. We made models to show how the Earth spins on it's axis and this causes day and night. We also talked about time differences between countries and looked up some countries and their times on a big map. 

We had a great time on Sports Day. Year 3 and 4 teams worked really well together and all children had lots of fun.

We had a super (and very noisy) time drumming on Thursday. We learned some songs that we had to sing along to the beat. We then each got a drum to copy the beat. It was so much fun!
