Speed Limit Checkers

This week, the two classes responsible for improving school travel investigated the speed of cars around our school (4NM and Willow). We measured them on Sandpiper Road and Woburn Road to check whether they kept to the speed limit.

4NM found that while most cars kept to the speed limit on Sandpiper Road, Woburn Road was much more dangerous to cross because some cars travelled above 30 mph. It is very important to keep looking both ways when crossing the road.

Y4 take on Broadway!

To link with our 'Welcome to Planet Earth' topic Year 4 spent their PE lesson this week learning part of the choreography from the Broadway production to the Lion King. While some children were taking part in interhouse, the rest of us spent a bit of time perfecting our performance!
