Class 4 had a lovely afternoon visiting our Gruffalo wood on the school ground. We looked around to spot as many natural things as we could and used some amazing adjectives to describe what we could see.

Our musician of the week is . . . Elvis Presley 🎸

This week we are listening to music from Elton John – enjoy!

This morning, we started our crew with some dancing and singing:)We loved a skeleton dance and we named the parts of our body.Then we created a colourful body artwork and used some words to describe how we are feeling today.

A huge thank you to Lewis’ dad who came in and performed for us. The children absolutely loved the electric guitar! 🎸 I think we have some future rockstars in year one and two!

This afternoon, as part of our music case study, we have been lucky enough to give the children the most incredible experience. We have had a visit from one of our fantastic parents, Mr Lamb – who just so happens to be a very talented Opera Singer.

He shared with the children his life as a singer, taught us some vocal exercises, talked about singing all over the world and performed a piece from Carmen for us.

The children and staff are feeling very lucky to have had such a magical experience as part of our expedition.

This week we have gone for the famous composer, John Williams. We have picked five songs for our play list – but we think as you look at home you will find hundreds more that we could have used!

Enjoy, Mrs Parsons xx

We have been learning about shapes in Maths this week. In a silent conversation the children listed their examples of the 2d shapes that they can see in our classroom and then we shared our ideas in ‘popcorn’. We also worked hard with our writing and created some beautiful pieces of work.
