Good evening everyone!
We have had a super busy week both this week and last.
Our music lessons this week and last have been very noisy, but lovely at the same time! We are planning to go along to one of our local residential homes and entertain the residents with a few cheery songs. The children are so excited and absolutely love practising. We aim to show off our singing later in the next half term.
We have also been learning all about 'pentatonic scales' and have been beginning to learn to read some music too. The children will even be having a go at composing some of their own music this next week. They have loved using the glockenspiels whilst trying some of their own improvisation.
Our Ancient Egyptians topic continues to be popular in class 4 too. The children have loved learning all about the life of the ancient Egyptians and are keen to learn all about Tutankhamun's tomb this week. We are even using clay to create some sculptures of pyramids, canopic jars and perhaps even some mini death masks on Monday!
The children are loving the science topic too; we have been looking at electrical appliances at home and in school and have very much focused on safety around electricity this week. Next week we will be creating electrical circuits, before then looking at insulators and conductors of electricity.
Boxercise continues to be very energetic, fun and certainly a hit with the whole class. The lessons are such good fun. The children took part in a very energetic circuit training session this week; each exercise boxercise related of course. I haven't quite recovered myself yet!!
Below are just a few photos of the children. You'll notice I have added a photo taken during the Stephen Mulhern 'Read' event; it was absolutely brilliant! Rosie was even selected by Stephen to take part in a magic trick; Netherthong are famous at last!!!
Have a lovely week and we'll update you on events this week in class 4 on Friday!
See you soon,
Mrs Matthews, Mrs Scott and Miss Hewitt xx
