Get some fresh air but please stay safe – no playing out in the street with other children.

Could you do a picture of a rainbow and put it in a front window of your house to show that we are all together! I would love to see lots of rainbows as I drive round to school and home again.

A big ‘thank you’

By Mrs Graves19th March 2020

Tracy, our cleaner, would like to say a big Thank You to all the children in years 3, 4, 5 and 6, for how much they have looked after the toilets this last week. She is so proud of you all and you have really helped to make her job less difficult.

Well done, I am really proud of you to and want to send a special Thank You to our volunteers who have been keeping an eye out at beak and lunchtime.

Homelearning

By Mrs Graves19th March 2020

I have shared home learning activities on google classroom with children and we have been practicing them in school – trying to iron out any teething problems. I’m pleased to see children have accessed them from home.

Everyday, I would like all children to fill in the daily feelings chart by adding their feeling into the grid on google classroom. I will check this in the morning as a way of keeping in touch.

 

I will upload a maths, english and expedition task every day for children to complete, and I will mark and return all work that has been ‘handed in’.

thanks

Busy Week in 4G

By Mrs Graves12th March 2020

It has been a busy week in 4G, We have been learning about fractions more than one and how to write them as improper fractions and mixed numbers.

In English we have been planning and drafting our own description of a new room in Willy Wonka’s factory for our extended writing.

We got creative this afternoon making Maya Masks – photos to follow .

Mrs Graves has been investigating a new tool – Google classroom – that will help us to share information and work between home and school. More information to follow.

Can you tell who we are??

By Mrs Graves5th March 2020

We have had a lovely day in 4G celebrating books and reading today, for World Book Day. Such a lovely variety of costumes and books represented by the class – from the Christmasaurus to Harry Potter, Matilda and a newt to the Queen of Hearts with a playing card soldier.

Well done 4G for your creativity and imagination – and keep reading!

Remember to keep getting your reading cards signed for that chance to go to Thorntons for a Hot Chocolate!
