Class 4 request!

If you have any unwanted cardboard boxes, larger than cereal box size, we would be very grateful if you would donate them to Class 4 this week!

They will help in transforming the classroom for our brand new novel study starting after Easter.

Thank you!

Easter Egg Hunt at the Co-op

A group of children visited the Co-op this morning to search for 100 carefully-hidden creme eggs.  They seemed easy to spot at first but the last few proved extremely difficult to find! It was lovely to see the children helping each other and sharing out their eggs so that everyone had 10 each to take home. Thank you again to Laura and staff for inviting us to the Co-op.

A Fantastic Gardening Day at Bicton!

Who needs Ground Force when you have families, friends and staff like this?!

Thank you to everyone who gave up their time today for our gardening and DIY day. As you can see from the photo gallery, it was a really productive day and the showers didn’t put anyone off. The bacon rolls, cakes and cuppas kept everyone going and the turnout of volunteers was so good buy valium suppositories that a second trip to the Co-op was needed to restock supplies! There are far too many names to mention but I’m sure everyone who was there will agree that Graham and family need a big thank you ?

There is still plenty to do so we will be having another gardening day in a few weeks time – hope to see you there!

Marathon Ready!! – News from Nikki

Latest news from Nikki…

Well this week I did my last long run of 19 miles!!

According to many Marathon running plans 18-20 miles is a good guide. So I went for 19. I was advised not to do more as I have had some problems with  my Achilles and my foot arch. So for the next 3 weeks (yes, that’s all that I have left!!?) i will be doing what they call tapering and hoping to remain injury free! 

I am looking forward to joining all the children on Friday with their mini-marathon. Tell them they can prepare for it by: 1. Eating a good balanced tea the night before; 2. Get a good night’s sleep and 3. Eat a good breakfast in the morning. 

I will be doing the same thing on my marathon day too. 

Please can you remind them to BRING THEIR SPONSOR FORMS WITH THEM ON FRIDAY. Just one evening left to ask friends, family and neighbours for sponsors! 

My fundraising has been great and I now have just over £1000. If you’d like to show your support the link is

Every £ helps, and really motivates me also.

Class 4 Update

This week in English, the children wrote about the main character of our class novel ‘After Tomorrow.’  We then went on to to pick out the main themes of the novel, showing them in freeze frames and finding evidence of them in the book.  The children will be using these ideas in their writing next week.

In maths we have been learning about how to find the perimeter, area and volume of shapes.  We are now going over work on place value and practising multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100.

In science the children have looked at what happens when different materials are mixed with water.  This week they had to work out how to separate 4 different mixtures using sieving, filtering, heat and magnets.

In DT we are starting to look at purses and wallets and have practised our sewing skills this afternoon, ready to design and make our own purses or wallets in the coming weeks.

Finally in history the children have continued to look at Viking trade and consider what items would have been most valuable to trade with.
