We are Geologists in Year 4

We have putting our learning into action online in Year 4 today. We have learnt about the properties of rocks this week and today we were Geologists by going out into the garden on a rock hunt and then using Venn Diagrams or Carol Diagrams to classify them, according to their properties.


Well done to James and Anez today’s Year 4 Plover Praise Postcard winners for their hard work and perseverance all day. Here are some photos of their rock investigation.

Congratulations to all the children in Year 3 and 4 who have been earning raffle tickets by reading and quizzing on their books on Accelerated Reader.

World Book Day

World Book Day will be celebrated in school and at home on Friday 5th March. We would love all children to get involved in the fun. This year, the theme of World Book Day will be ‘Books That Make You LOL’. We would like to invite all children to dress up as a character from a book that makes them laugh. There will be prizes up for grabs for the most creative efforts put into a costume.
There will be a ‘decorate a potato challenge’ which we invite everyone to have a go at. You can decorate a potato as a character from any book or even decorate several potatoes if you are making a scene from a book. We also will have a competition just for fun based on the TV show, ‘The Masked Singer’. Staff have hidden their identities behind books and you will be using the clues to discover who is behind the mask!
Vouchers will be emailed to all parents and carers for the World Book Day £1 books. These will take the place of the normal paper vouchers. Some shops are requesting paper copies of the vouchers so please check before spending the voucher. If you find you need a paper copy but do not have access to a printer, please let your child’s teacher know and they will print you a copy.
We can’t wait to see your costumes and celebrate with you!
