It’s VIKING DAY! The year 4 clan are in full swing weapon building! #pgcovtheme

As scientists, year 4 investigated the effect of different liquids on teeth (using an egg as a model for our tooth enamel). The results were interesting, shocking…..and a little disgusting! 🤓🪥🥤🦷 #pgcovscience

4B had a brilliant time this week visiting @SnowDomeTam as part of our theme topic ‘Adventures in Europe’. They certainly got to experience the climates of Northern Europe (as well as throw a cheeky snow ball or two!) ❄️⛄️ #pgcovgeography #pgcovtheme

Our wonderful teachers have been hard at work decorating their doors in the build up to #WorldBookDay which we are celebrating tomorrow! Watch this space for some of the fantastic outfits on display. #pgcovreading

A great start to our new art unit of ‘Sculpture and 3D’ in year 4. The children enjoyed the freedom of sketching with chalks to create a 3D effect 👌🏽 #pgcovart

[Parkgate Lower Key Stage 2 @parkgatecovLKS2]

Year 3 are enjoying their new text ‘The Firework maker’s Daughter’ by @PhilipPullman. The @Talk4Writing story mapping is really helping them to learn the detail! #pgcovreading #pgcovwriting

Some great gargoyle sketching from 4B today off the back of our short writing unit using ‘Night of the Gargoyles’ by Eve Bunting 👌🏽👏🏼
