World Book Day

20th February 2023Miss Topliss

World Book Day will be celebrated on 2nd March 2023. Children are invited to dress up if they wold like to as their favourite book character. Please do not feel any pressure to buy costumes (children can wear uniform as normal if they wish). Children are also welcome to make a badge, wear a themed t-shirt or make an accessory from their favourite story or that their favourite character uses! We will celebrate as a school throughout the day and all children will receive the £1 book token that they can exchange for a World Book Day special edition book, which are available to buy in local bookshops and supermarkets.

Please take a look at the amazing competition detailed below as part of World Book Day!

World Book Day® is helping to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Cressida Cowell’s How to Train Your Dragon with a truly magical prize. One lucky winner will have the change to go on a 3-day family trip to Soltau in Germany to stay at Heide Park, the theme park that is home to an entire land based around How to Train Your Dragon. https://www.worldbookday.com/howtotrainyourdragon/

Don’t Forget Your Toothbrush!!!

9th February 2023Mrs Graves

On the first Monday back after half term, all children in Year 3 and Year 4 are going to seeing how clean their teeth are.

We will be using a disclosing tablet and then the children will be able to see any areas where they have missed brushing their teeth.

To ensure all children can take part in this activity, please could you send your child’s toothbrush and toothpaste in a small named plastic bag.

if your child is unable to use a disclosing tablet, please could you inform your class teacher in advance.

Thanks

Mrs Graves

Green fingers

5th February 2023Josie Farrow

This week, we have been scientific experts! Case study 2 is all about plants, we have been planting seeds, investigating parts of a flower, acting out the process of pollination and looking at seed dispersal. It has certainly been a busy week in 4F.

The Really Really Big Really Really Small Show

26th January 2023Mrs Graves

This afternoon, Year 4 had the opportunity to join a science webinar.

We had a fascinating talk about the language of science, particularly the words that are used to describe very very large objects and microscopic objects.

The scientists taught us all something new and it generated a great conversation about how we become scientists.

Thank you Year 4 for you great attention and focus.
