Childline Schools Service

Here is the weekly timetable for class 4. Here is the topic web for the term. The topic for the Spring term is “Worlds of Wonder”.

Although PE is timetabled for set days, please ensure your child has their PE kit in school at all times as inclement weather can effect our timetabling. Can pupils also ensure that they have a waterproof coat in school as we are often outside for outdoor learning.

Please feel free to contact me on mpinfield@harrowbarrow.cornwall.sch.uk

Visit to the Eden Project

On Wednesday 27th November we visited the Eden Project as part of our Brazil topic. We were brilliant botonists for the day and investigated the relative size of leaves in the Mediterranean biome and the rainforest biome. Here we are measuring leaves and looking at what a coffee bean is really like. Thank you to Mr Caboche for driving us there.
