Kingfisher Class - Year 4 & 5

Liverpool World Museum Trip Jan 2026

Our school trip to the World Museum in Liverpool was both educational and enjoyable. We explored a range of fascinating exhibitions, including Ancient Egypt, where we learned about mummification and pharaohs, and the Natural History galleries, which featured an aquarium, insects, and animal habitats from around the world. The Space and Astronomy section was particularly exciting, as we discovered more about planets, stars, and space exploration.

The museum provided hands-on activities and interactive displays that helped us understand science, history, and different cultures in an engaging way. We particularly enjoyed our Ancient Greece and Roman Workshop! Overall, the trip was a great learning experience that helped bring our classroom topics to life and encouraged curiosity about the world around us.

Year 4 and 5 have lots to look forward to, with new topics to explore, creative projects to enjoy and plenty of opportunities to challenge ourselves and grow. This term we’ll be building on our learning, working together as a team and aiming high in everything we do. Let’s make this a positive, productive and fun-filled term!

Welcome back Kingfishers! 

I hope you have had a fun and restful break! I would like to introduce myself as Shannon Burrow your new class teacher and I am very much looking forward to working with you all in this new school year. We are going to be having fun-filled terms with lots of interesting learning and adventures. As we move into year 4 and 5, we will be showing how we are role models of Dean Gibson, where expectations are high. We will be focussing on building on our core values this year which are being caring, curious and resilient learners. We are very lucky to be joined by the wonderful Mrs Dixon in the mornings and Mrs Joyce will be teaching in class every Friday afternoon. 

Please see the above Curriculum Map and timetable to see what we shall be covering this year and when (subject to change). At Dean Gibson, we value the important partnership between home and school. If you have any questions now or in future then please don’t hesitate to speak to me, (any emails should go to the office email). I am very much looking forward to this year working with you and your children.
