Merry Christmas!

Thank you to all of you that came to the Christmas performance, I hope you all got a chance to come - if not then please do get a copy of the DVD! I am sure you will all agree how amazing they ALL were!? It was like going to a real panto - it's easy to forget that they are still only 7, 8, 9 years old,when they are producing such outstanding performances!!!! I hope you were all bursting with pride  - We were!!!!!! WELL DONE!!!!!

We certainly have had a fantastic first term together, I can't wait for the next 2!!!!!!!

Have a wonderful and restful, family, fun filled, well deserved Christmas break!

(Home learning for the holidays is to keep learning and practising those times tables, and to read - we will be doing a lot more book recommendations next term, so get reading!!!!!!)

Lots of festive cheer from the Year 4 Team - Ho, Ho, Ho !!!!!

A Christmas Challenge!

A quick p.s. Just to let you know that the library are running a small reading challenge over Christmas, much like the summer one - great fun and gets everyone reading! I nearly had the whole of Year 2 taking part last summer so I would love to see you all getting enthusiastic too! Have a go - just pop into the library and see what it's all about - the new library really is lovely, so if you haven't had a chance to pop in, now's the time! Why not sign up for a library card if you haven't already got one!

Good Luck - get lost in an imaginary world this holiday!!!!!!!! Can't wait to hear how you all get on!

Mrs. Johnson!

True professionals!

In between rehearsing hard, we have enjoyed some festive maths exploring coordinates to create christmas pictures, as well as cracking jokes by answering sums! We also chose how we would like to write and represent the Nativity story independently- beautiful poems were composed, diary entries written and comic strips created - fantastic!

Christmas technology day was great fun - and the festive head gear competition entries were outstanding! Well done everyone! A huge thank you also to Daisy's mum, Oliver's mum and Orren's mum for helping out - MUCH appreciated!!!!!!

Our dress rehearsal was superb today - well done! Can't wait for you all to see it and enjoy it!

A reminder that our Christmas party is on Friday and there is a list of party food to sign up for in the cloakroom - Thank you to everyone who has signed up so far - a few more contributions of the savoury kind would be great - pop in and have a look!

Thank you - also if you would like to join us for Christmas carols on Friday, at 2:45 in the school hall, please come along and get yourselves well and truly in the mood for Christmas!

See you there!

"It's a cracker!"

Well, after the Christmas fair on Friday, I am certainly feeling very festive - we also bought our tree today and saw some real reindeer, so I am very excited!!!!! Ho! Ho! Ho! You should be very proud of yourselves, once again, Year 4 because our stall was very successful! People were really impressed with your crackers and decorations with lots of great comments being made, as well as nearly selling out!!!!! You can feel very proud that you helped to raise money for your school - well done!

I hope you have all been singing your hearts out at home, practising the show songs, as we really need to "nail" them this week (in the words of the x-factor judges!!!!!:-) )

Talking of "nailing it" your brass performance was excellent and very professional, thank you to all your family members who were able to come and watch!

See you all tomorrow,

The Year 4 Team

Oooompa pa! Oooompa pa!

Hi there everyone,

A massive thank you to all of you who have organised your costumes so quickly and brought them in, also to those of you who have brought in items for other class mates, showing how kind and thoughtful you are - well done!

Play time Wardens should be very proud of themselves - you've done a brilliant job this week, mediating between many playground disputes, helping children find friends to play with and generally setting a great example - well done, you're a credit to your families and the school!

A reminder that it is our brass concert tomorrow - change of venue though, to the pre-school hall at 1:45! (Due to Christmas Fayre setting up!) Also the instruments will then remain in school to be handed back, so please try to remember them!

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow,

The Year 4 Team
