It’s a rap for Year 4’s e-Safety crews!

 

The class began their time in Y4 by learning more about e-Safety and how to behave sensibly and safely online. After a class discussion, they set about writing, rehearsing and performing their own e-Safety rap featuring a number of the themes we had spoken about in class over a hip-hop beat. Recording in front of a green screen, it was then edited using iMovies to ensure a more professional ‘rap video’ finish.

Year 4 immerse themselves in library visit!

Year 4 enjoyed a fabulous visit to Hyson Green Library on October 4. After an introductory talk and a quiz by librarian Jude, the children were given time to choose a book and find a quiet spot to read it before taking it out on the class library card. They were also given the opportunity to join the library themselves.
