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.

Medals Assembly 10.03.17

Today we introduced a new ‘award’ in our weekly medals assembly. One or two children from each class were nominated by their teacher to share a piece of work that they have produced this week which really stood out. The work shared included science work on solids, liquids and gases, narrative writing on Jack and the Beanstalk, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and setting descriptions and also Winston Churchill fact files. We are looking forward to seeing more children share their work over the weeks ahead.

Well done to Will who was also the recipient of this week’s Secret Teacher award and thank you to Mrs Hughes for being our ‘secret teacher!’

Cross Country 10.03.17

We had a fantastic cross country session tonight and 47 children, over a third of the school, took part. The lovely, mild weather saw many children having to remove layers as you can see in the photo which was completely unrehearsed and I just happened to run past as some of the Class 1 girls were taking a breather! Soon after, the top of the goal post was completely obscured with many more sweatshirts and jackets being discarded!

Co-op Fairtrade Visit

As part of their Fairtrade Fortnight activities, the Co-op very kindly invited a group of children from school to visit the store. Some of the children from Mrs Roberts’ Sewing Club took part in the visit today where they met different people involved in Fairtrade and learnt about how some of the money raised supports children’s education in Uganda.

Before returning to school, the children went on a treasure hunt around the store in search of specific Fairtrade products and, as always, they were super ambassadors for our school.
