From the Goldsmith Primary Academy
"You can start where you are and change the conclusion, but you can't go back and change the beginning." C.S.Lewis. I'm Mrs. Carswell, and I'm honoured to be the 4B teacher. I have 29 different, attractive, and eager learners in class 4B. I enjoy travelling and reading books since they both stimulate the mind and create lasting memories. We are incredibly fortunate to have Miss Cottam, a trainee teacher, assisting teaching and learning in our class for the entire year. Stig of the Dump is the title of the book we are reading this semester. The Stone Age will be the focus of all of our topic lessons. Making cave drawings and modelling clay tools are only two of the enjoyable activities we have planned. I hope you will like reading our Stone Age child's diary entries and our own Iron Age-based fiction. You should start studying your 6, 7, and 9 times tables this year. The website Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) is excellent for improving times table memory.
