Pupils in Year 4 have been learning about Light and Sound. They have been investigating real world uses of mirrors to reflect light. One such example is in submarines which use periscopes so that they can see what's happening on the surface of the water without the submarine having to surface and be seen by the enemy.

Here's a video showing you how to make your own periscope.

On Wednesday 24th of March, Kings Road School hosted a heat of Quiz Club. Four pupils from Kings Road represented the school, with four other children acting as reserves. They were Chloe H from Year 6, Patrick S (Yr 5), Ethan WA (Yr4) and Luke J (Yr3). The reserves were Alexander P (Yr6), Alexandra L (Yr5), Bradley C (Yr4) and Constance FB (Yr3).
     First we had to escort teachers and pupils from the other 6 schools taking part to the main hall.
Inside the hall it was very dark and there was a large projection screen on the stage, there were seven tables where four pupils from the schools sat. Mr. Kyriacou told everyone about what was going to happen. Then he passed the microphone to the lady who was running the Quiz who told us how to work the remotes. Then the quiz started. The first section of the quiz had approximately 25 questions with points from 20-100. The next round had 10 questions with points from 60-100. All the questions were multiple choice with four answers, only one being correct. Some of the questions were: “What colour is the triple word box on a Scrabble Board?” or “What is it called when you rearrange the letters in a word?” A picture question was “Which flag is this?” We could see our scores after every question and for quite a while we were joint first!
     But sadly this didn’t last and we came 4th out of 7 schools. It was really exciting and we were given a Certificate for taking part and some sweets.

Because of the deep snow Kings Road was closed so many of my friends from school met up at the park
and we went sledging. (So did some of our mums and dads!).

From SJ9 were Sam C; Thomas P; Jonathan C and me. From WL10 were Hannah W. From CG1
was Lewis P and from MT3 was Lucy C and Rhys W. Victoria C from BW4 was ill so had to stay at home.
My little sister Lois also came and so did some other friends.

It was great fun and the snow was very thick in some places.
On the walk home we were freezing but really enjoyed the adventure!

Year 4 pupils visited St. Peter's College on Wednesday 9th July.

At last it was time to perform in front of parents from other schools as well as ours. It was really fun and nerve racking. We performed three dances that were the Motif-A, group dance and the conveyor belt that I forgot to tell you about and also the drama.
