Today, we were really lucky, Geoff and Dave came to perform for us. We really enjoyed experiencing live music. We even got to join in and become musicians – we sang a Beatles song!

As I’m sure the children have told you – as part of this expedition, one of our ongoing case studies is going to be Music. To help us ensure the children are exposed to a wide range of musicians and genres, both past and present, we are going to be having a musician of the week.

We will be listening to music from the artist/s each morning as the children enter the classroom and we will be learning more about the artist as the week goes on.

Each week we will add a playlist to our website and ClassDojo pages, this will enable you to share in the Musician of the Week and listen along at home too!

We had a great time this morning dancing around the classroom to our first musician/s – Abba!

Enjoy,

Hello parents/carers,

As the Autumn term draws to a close and we all begin to wind down for the Christmas break, we would like to invite parents and carers into school during the first two weeks back in January to attend your child’s student-led conference (SLC).

In this 10 minute session, your child, accompanied by their teacher or crew leader, will walk you through their journey so far. Children will talk about their achievements, challenges and next steps as well as showing you their favourite pieces of beautiful work.

Days are Monday (9th), Tuesday (10th), Wednesday (11th) There are morning, afternoon and evening slots available.

Please complete the form below by the deadline which is Thursday 15th December at 5pm.

Many thanks,

Today in Maths we learn about weighing, measuring and comparing shapes. We followed directions and had fun when making shape spotty cookies to celebrate Children in Need Day.

Class 4 looked at a variety of everyday materials, sorted them on the basis of their physical properties. We used scientific vocabulary to describe the properties of materials. Then, we used different materials to build our castles, made predictions and tested the castles to find out which material would be best to survive in wind and when exposed to water.

Class 4 had a great time making the firework pictures. We then came up with some fantastic adjectives to describe fireworks and learnt about some safety rules around fireworks.
