4 Poplar local trip

We had a great time visiting our local high street. We looked at the public transport links and found out which buses use the route along the high street and where they terminated.  We then conducted a survey of vehicles in the area and also recorded the shops that we could see. When we finished along the high street we then went to the park. We then found some shade and discussed how the local area has changed over the years. When we made it back to school we had a picnic and created a map of Hornchurch High Street.  It was a fantastic day!

 In Year 4 we had an amazing day for French day, learning the song:  LA TÊTE, LES ÉPAULES, GENOUX ET PIEDS,  GENOUX ET PIEDS! We also made posters about famous French people who have changed the world, and we explored French artists such as Seurat, Monet and Matisse, creating our own painting inspired by their work. We even played French games and ate at a cafe, ordering in French! It was a super day!
