Eastgate Academy

Kingfishers have made a great start to the new school year.

In literacy we are learning how to write precise sentences based around the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur.

This week the Year 4 children were kindly presented with their own copies of a dictionary donated by the Kings Lynn Rotary Club.

In maths lessons we are working on developing and deepening our understanding of place value in number.

Design Technology has a circus theme this term. Our children are designing and making their own juggling ball. So far they have completed their designs and are applying them to their fabric templates before sewing them in future lessons.

This term in science, Kingfishers are learning about plants. During their lesson, they explored plants and discovered their properties. 

For outdoor learning this week, Kingfisher's lesson was about different types of soil and what particles the different soils had in them. 

During art, Kingfishers learnt about architecture. This week they looked at the Parthenon, a temple in Athens which was built for the Goddess Athena. They looked at the frieze which was created for Athenas' birthday. The frieze is in relief, which means the sculpture is raised above the background. Kingfishers then created their own design for a clay tile which they will create later. 

The Kingfishers celebrated winning the termly attendance award. Woohoo!
