Good afternoon everyone!
Wow! We have had such a wonderful week! It has been so lovely to once again see all the children back in class. They have been so enthusiastic, so hard working and as always so very entertaining!
They absolutely loved their street dance yesterday and certainly put me to shame with their fabulous dancing! Our super coach Lucy taught us all a wonderful street routine. We'll be trying out lots of different dance styles this half term so it should be great fun- exhausting, but great fun!!
The children were so excited this morning about their first school swimming lesson (and even the coach journey to and from the pool); they were all so amazing too! Miss Hewitt, Miss Monday and myself were so proud of every single one of them; it was a pleasure to take them and spend a great morning at the pool together.
We have enjoyed lots of lovely art in between working hard in maths and literacy! The children have been sewing beautifully and developing some great sketching skills too. We collected lots of natural resources in our woodland earlier in the week and yesterday the children began using their skills with pencils to carefully sketch them. They are certainly a very artistic class! Here are just a few of their sketches!
See you all Monday,

Well class 4, You have been amazing this week. We have been busy with such a wide variety of lessons and activities.
In History, we learnt all about the Factories Act of 1833 and how the lives of working children changes from the terrible conditions of earlier to the slightly less terrible. Here a few highlights:
The Factory Act of 1833
1) No child workers under nine years of age.
2) Employers must have an age certificate for their child workers.
3) Children of 9-13 years to work no more than nine hours a day.
4) Children of 13-18 years to work no more than 12 hours a day.
5) Children are not to work at night.
6) Two hours schooling each day for children.
7) Four factory inspectors appointed to enforce the law. (in the whole of Britain!)
I have to sing all of your praises for yesterday. You made us all very proud of you. Your co-operation, incredible hard work and team work, not to mention your giggles and laughter, absolutely made our day yesterday. The garden looks completely amazing. You used the tools safely and sensible and helped and supported each other with such enthusiasm, it was totally wonderful to be part of. THANK YOU!
I am failing at the moment to get the tablet to turn on and post some photos. I will try and get some before and after ones blogged when it starts to work!
WELL DONE!
Have a fantastic weekend, keep safe in the sun and the heat that is expected and we shall hopefully see you all next week.

Well done Class 4 for a wonderful transition day; it sounds as though you had lots of fun with Mr C!
We have been working in small groups this week to create strong bridges using only paper and sellotape. We will be finishing and testing these next week.
In Maths, we have been making symmetrical creatures using our names. I wonder if you can read the names in the pictures below?
We have also been working on lots of lovely art work about the cogs ticking in our heads and linked it to our fantastic story of Hugo Cabret.
In PE, we had some fun with the balls and playing French Cricket in the sunshine. Let's hope that the sunshine stays over the weekend.
Have a fantastic weekend, keep safe and see you all next week for more fun.

Well done Class 4, we have managed to fit a lot into this week!
We have been busy completing our final assessments of the year and we are all very proud of how hard you have worked.
After finding out about Isambard Kingdom-Brunel last week, we have been testing out our own paper bridges to find out how we can make them stronger. Who knew paper could be so strong?!
We all had a fabulous trip to the Sports Barn. It was lovely to see the children so excited when we opened the school doors on Wednesday morning. Our wonderful Sports Partnership organised a great day and the children took part in lots of different activities throughout the day including cricket, athletics, parachute games, bowling and handball. I hope everyone slept well, I know I certainly did!

We have all had the most fun this week! It has been a little different, which was great.
It started with the children having their first trip in such a very long time. They had a great time by the sounds of it and were all exhausted. I think the staff were all in bed by 8 O'clock! We will try and get a few photos added to the blog over the next week.
The week ended with some more Sports - Sports Day!
What a wonderful morning it was. All of the children took part, smiled and giggled and participated brilliantly! They were a real credit to the school and their parents. We had Mr Curly Wurly, join us as our mascot. And what a great mascot he was. He even joined in one of the races. He beat all of the teachers. Four legs was definitely faster than two today! Thank you to everyone for showing such amazing sportsmanship too. It was a joy to be part of and to see you all encouraging and supporting each other. Really well done. Mrs Kelly is going to put some photos online.
We did some amazing work on Titus Salt in History and we created our own towns. We thought about what facilities we would want, what housing and recreation spaces might be good and we named them. We even had a Whaleway Station!
Fantastic this week Class 4. Next week is another exciting one with our Transition Day on Tuesday.
Have a great weekend, keep safe and have fun.
