Years 3 and 4 were lucky enough to join a live, online lesson yesterday to build our background knowledge of the world’s biomes. It was great to see how much our children have learnt about the Arctic during this expedition.
I wonder if your child can tell you something new that they learnt from this opportunity.

Our crew challenge this week was to solve matchstick problems. I think it’s fair to say that Crew Haycock found this more challenging than some of the other tasks they have been set! The frustration that they displayed when I showed them how simple it was really was amusing to see from my point of view. However, I don’t think they appreciated how easily I solved them! Sorry guys, I pledge to be more supportive and less competitive in the future.
Keep grappling with our motivational challenges everyone!

4B had a great time on our school trip to the Yorkshire Wildlife park. We got to see the magnificent polar bears up close, visited a few other animals and had an amazing workshop to learn more about the polar bears and how we can help save them. The kids were great and I’m sure they are now very tired after such a busy day. Well done everyone!

In todays Expedition lesson, we investigated how magnets work. We identified the two poles (North and South), described the poles relationship using the words attract and repel and discovered how magnets don’t need contact to create a impact because of their magnetic field. Some super science work today. Well done!

Today in crew, we have chosen our two crew winners who performed an extract of a chosen text to enter into the read aloud competition. The children who got the most votes are Lena and Matijas. Congratulations! You both will progress to the KS2 semi-final next week.
Well done for all of the children (Lena, Peyton, Isla, Matijas, Ethan, Rahand, Gabby and Violet ) who auditioned to represent our crew in the competition. You were all incredibly brave and should be very proud.

4B have been scientists investigating which surfaces are the best to travel on. After conducting our experiment, we compared which surfaces the counter travelled the furthest on when pushed. We discovered that the counter travelled the shorter distance on surfaces which were rough and bumpy because it had more friction compared to the smoother surfaces with less.
Well done 4B for working well together in your mini crews!

Today, year 4 watched videos of how a professional player would do the haka dance with his arms and hands, before attempting it themselves in steps. They worked in pairs to critique and provide feedback on how to improve the performance and in the end, the children all performed together with facial expressions. It resulted in a terrifying but amusing performance!

We are looking forward to celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 7th March.
It would be lovely to see the children dressed up as their favourite book character, but please don’t feel like you have to rush out and buy a costume!
£1 Book Vouchers will be given to children on the day which can be spent in most supermarkets and book shops, but we do also have a Book Fayre coming into school the following week, and children can put their voucher towards the cost of a book at that event – more details to follow soon.
More information can be found on https://www.worldbookday.com
