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.

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.

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.

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!

Just look at this beautiful artwork created by Seb which has been created in the style of the book The Last bear! Well done young man, you’re a star.

Years 3 and 4 became activists and walked around our local area spreading their message about the need for change before it is too late for the polar bears of the Arctic!
What do we want? CHANGE!
When do we want it? NOW!
Polar…BEAR!
Polar…BEAR!
We really appreciated the beeps from the cars and the bus that passed us, thank you!
You have placed a small piece of the jigsaw down, Year 3/4. Feel proud of yourselves and keep adding another piece by turning those lights off (or games consoles and TV screens most likely) when you head downstairs for tea. Together, we can all make a difference!

4H embraced World Book Day whole heartedly and we had so much fun throughout the day. The live draw along with Phil Shepherd inspired us to imagine our own characters and ideas for the front cover of a book. The finished products are so good I need to have a new wall built somewhere so that I can display all of them! Getting comfy with a cushion seemed to be a favourite part of the day as we read more of our key text: The Last Bear. There really is nothing better than sitting back, relaxing and reading or listening to a great story. I’m sure someone fell asleep…no names mentioned!
Don’t forget that your book token can be used for £1 off of a book from our book fair when it arrives!

We have had great fun investigating magnets and finding polar north by hanging a magnet from a piece of string. The initial speed of the magnet spinning in both directions convinced the children that it was just ‘going cray-cray’ (their words NOT mine) and not actually working. They were amazed when it finally settled, pointing in the direction we had previously confirmed as being north with a compass!
Ellis took his learning a step further and investigated how closely he could push two magnets together before the magnetic force took over! Well done Ellis, extra special scientist shout out for you young man!
Well done everyone!
