This year, Alumwell are joining forces with the charity 'Family Action' to help bring some Christmas Magic

It’s Design & Technology week in Year 4 and we’re creating torches from scratch! How on earth are we doing that you might be thinking!? Well, just check out our photos below and all will be revealed! 😉
Step 1 - Make the circuit which includes a battery, bulb, wires and a homemade switch!
Step 2 - Cut off the top of a plastic bottle and place the circuit into the main body of the bottle. Attach the switch to the outside of the bottle. Turn the bottle top upside down and insert the bulb into the mouthpiece and this becomes the torch head.
Step 3 - Time to decorate the housing of the torch!
After a week of great teamwork and super problem solving, here are our working torches!
Instructional leaflets on ‘How to make a torch’.
Class 6 designed stamps especially for Anti-Bullying Week. Take a 👀 at some of our creations!
We're currently reading The Great Kapok Tree in English. It's about a man who is ordered to chop down a kapok tree but dozes off while resting from the hard labor. Each creature, from a tiny insect to a mighty jaguar, explains the importance of the tree, including holding the soil in place during heavy rains, providing food and shelter, and producing oxygen.
Read our letters below to find out how the animals used many persuasive devices to convince the man not to chop down the kapok tree.

The Lost Thing
We have been reading this humorous story about a boy who discovers a bizarre-looking creature whilst out collecting bottle-tops at the beach. Take a look below at our Utopian creatures which we designed and wrote non-chronological reports about.
