A new term meant a new sport to learn the skills of and this term, year 4 are going to be learning how to play cricket/rounders. Today, they spoke about how to hit the wicket by bowling the ball. They practiced that and worked with each other to improve their throwing and bowling skills. Next, the bats came into play and after being shown how to properly hold the bat, the teams played small games of cricket where the aim was to hit the wicket. They worked incredibly hard today!

Time to read Tuesdays…
In crew on Tuesdays, we take a reading focus. I can’t think of anything better than finding a good book and getting completely lost in the story which could take you to anywhere in your imagination. This week, we looked at a children’s magazine with a variety of different stories in it. We scanned through the magazine to find something that caught our eye and then explained to each other what our attention was grabbed by and why.

We can explain our thinking to each other
In maths, we have been thinking really carefully about how we approach different styles of mathematical questions. Explaining our thinking to each other has helped us to realise with more accuracy where we have been successful and where we need to make improvements.
Well done everyone and an extra shout out to Alex who has shown so much enthusiasm in Maths since returning to school after the Easter break. I am so proud of you all.

We can listen carefully
Our crew challenge taught us a lot on Monday morning. We had to listen carefully to the instructions our partner gave us and attempt to draw exactly what was described to us. We learnt that the instructions we give must be incredibly specific; not too long; and that they should also be spoken clearly so that our partner can hear us.
Well done to my Magic Breakfast team too – bagels toasted to perfection. Well done and thank you, ladies.

We had a great first week back!
4H had a fabulous first week back after the Easter break and it is fair to say that we are incredibly excited about our new expedition: From Bean to Bar: What’s the cost of a bar of chocolate?
We immersed ourselves in the world of chocolate by watching Gene Wilder as Mr Willy Wonka; tasting a range of different chocolate types; looking at the artwork of Andy Warhol and designing our own packaging for a delicious treat that we will be making as our final product!
Keep working hard guys; let’s smash this final term as a team and get you year five ready! How exciting!

Perfect Pinocchio
Many congratulations to Atlas, who trod the boards at the Doncaster Little Theatre over the Easter holidays.
He played the the central character of Pinocchio and even had to sing a solo of ‘I’ve got no strings’. Atlas had a great deal of lines to learn and spent a long time in rehearsals to prepare for the role.
Atlas brought a lovely collection of photos from the show to share with his class and crew.
Well done for your commitment and dedication Atlas, you have made us all very proud.
