Condover – Kayaking – New photos added!

The weather was fabulous for our double kayaking session on Thursday afternoon and lots of us made the most of being able to get wet at the end of the session!

Condover Day 2 – morning sessions and campfire

We had a great first day at Condover and, more importantly, a good night’s sleep!  After a very early breakfast of cereal, cooked breakfast and waffles, we all set off to our morning activities of fencing/abseiling/zip wire.

 

PANTOMIME

PANTOMIME

THURSDAY 6TH DECEMBER 2018

Just a reminder that this Thursday we will be going to the Pantomime.  We will be leaving school at 9.30am and returning at 1.00pm. Children will need to bring a packed lunch to eat when we return to school. They can bring a snack to eat (nothing containing nuts please) during the interval.

Thank you

We hope you are all enjoying the holidays and the beautiful weather!

Just in case anyone has mislaid it, we’ve attached the summer holiday homework below. We are really looking forward to seeing the children’s homework when we return to school and we have even cleared a couple of display boards today ready to showcase their hard work.

Thank you to those that have brought in costumes for the celebration assembly on Thursday. If you haven’t already brought a costume in can you please bring it it tomorrow.

Many thanks,

Class 4 weekly update

English: The children have completed assessments in english (writing and reading) this week.  They have worked hard on these – well done!

Maths: They have been converting units of time (years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes) and looking at timetables. They have also completed a maths assessment.

DT/Art: They have been making Greek head dresses for the celebration assembly next week which look great!  In DT they have been looking at Greek food and what they ate in Ancient Greek times.  Next week the children will be tasting some Greek food and designing and making their own flatbread with a twist.

Science: They have been doing work on light and how it travels.  The children had lots of interesting discussion about this.

There will be no spellings or homework for next week.

Please could all children keep practising the song and dance for celebration assembly next week.  I have been really impressed by how quickly they have learnt all the lines by heart and they all sound wonderful!  Thank you for all your hard work so far with this.

Please could you bring in Greek toga style costumes by Monday for the assembly.  As mentioned in the letter a white sheet with something to tie around the waist will be perfect, or even a large white shirt/tshirt. 

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Thomas

Class 4 weekly update

English – We focused on Chapter 19 this week and discussed what happened with Elliot and the wishing pearl in the story.  The children talked about whether a wishing pearl would be a good or bad thing and explained their reasoning.  They then planned and wrote a debate discussing all the reasons for/against a wishing pearl and shared them with the rest of the class.  They had lots of great ideas to share!

Maths – This week we have been working on converting units of measurement.  The children have looked at measures including kilograms/grams, kilometres/metres, millimetres/metres, millilitres/litres.  They have also been converting metric and imperial units of measure.

Topic – The children worked in groups to research an aspect of the Greek Olympics, looking at the different sports they did and the celebrations/entertainment.  They will be presenting their findings to the rest of the class next week.

RE – We have been looking at the ten commandments and what they mean.  The children then made up a modern set of the ten commandments relating to how to live in the world today.

Spellings – To be tested on Friday 13th July
