Year 4 Star Writers

Well done to Michael and Florence for being this week’s Star Writers. Michael wrote some brilliant sentences in his grammar lesson this week and to top it off  his presentation was beautiful.

Florence impressed Miss Hamlin in Literacy by writing about dilemmas. Florence explained what a dilemma is and how some dilemma scenarios could be resolved. 

Well done to both of you!

Year 3 - Local trip to Central Park

We just wanted to advise you that we will be walking the Year 3 children to Central Park on Wednesday 19th September.  We are working towards writing a descriptive story in Literacy which will be set in a woodland area, we feel the children would benefit from experiencing this in real life to support the development of a bank of language.

You have already signed permission forms for local trips however we are just notifying you of our intention.  We will only be out approximately 1 hour and this will not effect the children's lunch. Please speak to your Class Teacher if you have any concerns.

Year 3 - Awards

These children received a 4 R certificate for working incredibly well in a team as History detectives demonstrating Reciprocity.

Year 3 History Detectives

This week the Year 3's have demonstrated great resilience as we started our Topic. "How architecture influenced society across the ages".   They have immersed themselves in this new topic and used their detective skills whilst carrying out fun tasks to research different buildings from the past, starting in particular with the Stone Age.

The topic kick started with some deep thinking regarding what they wanted to find out. After investigating different structures from the past they were given the opportunity to create their own buildings using junk modelling and natural resources.


The children demonstrated reciprocity when working in table teams to solve a puzzle containing probing questions relating to structures from the past.  They were encouraged to ponder about "Why did stone age buildings change?" and the kinds of of Historical sources available. among other things.

Tilly said "There's a secondary source in the book corner its a book about the Stone Age".

The children were given the task of replicating a type of house using classroom equipment and whatever they could grab from outside!

Ellie and Isreal made a hide tent from sticks and paper...

Jeremiah, Oliver, Jersey, and Charlie made a tulou from multilink and leaves...

Whilst Roberto, Akunna, Sophie, and Maddison made their tulou out of dienes...

3 different groups made a stilt house from dienes, multilink and paper...

 And Tyler, Moyin, Nancy, and Bella made a minka from paper and miltilink.

This was a challenging task that demanded lots of reciprocity and patience from all groups. Good job year 3! Great teamwork!

Have a good weekend and we look forward to seeing those reading records!

Week 1 In Year 4!

Well what a fantastic few days it has been in Year 4 already! The children have settled in superbly into their new classes and have impressed their teachers during a number of different activities. 

They began their first day with a summer bingo activity, investigating what their peers had got up to. 

We found out that Lewis had been fishing, Rayne went shopping and Billy went to the park (just to name a few). The children also played game of 3 truths and a lie to discover just how well they know eachother which revealed many interesting facts.

Here are just a few of our discoveries: 

Laicey hates jacket potato and is allergic to daddies sauce. 

Ruben has a brother in the army. 

Naz doesn't like sushi and is going to take guitar lessons.

 Amandeep is addicted to eating chips! 

Polina was stung by a wasp when she was three.

In addition to this, they’ve been applying their addition and subtraction knowledge to solve problems, recapped their place value knowledge, completed a number of grammar activities and written an adventure story! 

We ended the week with an extra special treat; the children used our brand new Chrome books for the very first time! The children all successfully logged onto the WiFi and set their chrome book up with their own personal accounts. They then used google docs to collaborate on a document and experimented with different styles of text. They then learned how to insert images from the web and how to insert a table. Not bad for an hours work! 

"Wow it’s green now! I love it." Shouted Kiera 

"I can't believe we are all typing and I can see it. It's magic!" James

"I love how I can get the pictures on there from google!" Maisy 

The children were brilliant at unscrambling the mystery words!
