Changes to swimming

Here are the changes occurring with swimming from October half term until December half term. All children will now be swimming on Monday mornings, however due to the timetable constraints with the swimming pool we will need to share the swimming sessions over the weeks. Below are the dates when your children will need their swimming kits:

Class 7 - Monday 31^st October, Monday 7^th November, Monday 14^th November

Class 8 - Monday 21^st November, Monday 28^th November, Monday 5^th December

Monday 12^th December – Class 7 and 8 fun splash

Dates for your diary!

We have had a fantastic start to the year and therefore to develop our understanding of our army topic further we have planned a variety of days we would love you to be part of.

Lunch date

On Tuesday 1^st November we will be holding an afternoon of army-based activities including problem solving and food tasting. Please come and join us from 1:30pm.

Memorial service

Y4 will be holding this year’s memorial service at 3:45pm on Friday 11^th November and would like to invite their family members to join them. There will be refreshments available in the heart before the service. The children will be reading their own poetry and singing Gary Barlow’s ‘Sing’ that they have worked very hard towards. Please collect your child from 4pm on this day or speak to your child’s teacher you would not like them to attend.

Lest we forget

Today we were given the question 'What is armistice day?' Although we had never heard of this before, we realised that it was actually very similar to what we now know as 'Remembrance Day'. We learnt a lot of information and look forward to using this when planning our Remembrance Day celebrations. 

Data handling launch pad

Today we spent the afternoon collaborating with Class 8. It was lovely to be able to get together in the heart and work in the amazing learning environments like the acorns and the hut.

It was our launch pad lesson and we had been given the question - What would be the most popular army sport if we all joined the army? We had to figure out the best way to collect this information and had a go at representing it in different ways.

How do we use inverted commas?

How do we use inverted commas?

Today there were 6 QR codes on the board that we used to find rules about using inverted commas. We then used these rules to create a rules guide that we could follow and uploaded it onto seesaw. Check out our seesaw accounts to watch them!

We are going to use these guides to support us when writing the first draft of our narrative next week. Keep checking out Pobble account to see the outstanding writing we create.

Poppy making

This week we have begun the first process of making our poppies. We manipulated play dough using our hands and tools to create the first draft of our poppies. After that, we critiqued and redrafted our poppies to make them the best they could be. Now we will make these designs using a variety of different materials including felt and clay.
