LOTS of information - please READ ME!!!!!!

I have a lot of thank yous to say today...........thank you to Mr. Scott who was our police officer on Tuesday, to Mr. Taylor who was our Judge on Thursday, to Mr. Gibson for being a very willing criminal and to all the adults in Year 4 who were suspects and questioned to within an inch of their lives!!!!!!!! A truly exciting week, learning all about our judicial system! Mr. Gibson was given 12 month suspended sentence and community service to provide all the staff in Year 4 with tea and biscuits daily!!!!!! :-)

Thank you too to Martha's Grandad and Great Grandad fro coming in on Wednesday to talk to us all about his experience during WW2 - its so valuable to be able to put our learning into context!
Thank you also to Mr. Ray last week who came in and challenged us to a quiz all about WW2 - a great opportunity to reflect upon our learning - Team England won!!!!!!

This week...............The children brought home maths home learning inter red folders on Friday, along with spellings!
On Tuesday we are off to the Tank Museum - thank you to all of you who offered to help, we only needed one adult so I  spoke to the volunteer last Friday. Children will need to bring their packed lunch, snack and drink in a small day bag as well as a coat.

On Wednesday we will be launching our first "Big Write", the children will bring home a sheet tomorrow night for them to discuss the task at home, they can record any exciting vocabulary you come up with and a few ideas. Big Write is a stimulating and inspiring activity carefully planned to enable the children to write independently in a tranquil atmosphere for an extended period of time, giving them the chance to apply all their writing skills that they have been working on - we will be starting the stimulus tomorrow where there will be a video clip and lots of opportunities to plan and discuss. the children are allowed to bring in a special pencil for the Big Write.

Next Friday (27th November) will be our Tea Dance - FYI the children will be set a home learning task for the weekend to make a cake or small cakes decorated with a ww2 theme. You are,of course, invited to come along and celebrate with us, have a cuppa and cake as well as a dance!
