Keep doing a sun dance! Reminders for this week and exciting learning!

Hi all!

So, we have a busy week ahead!!!!!! Lots of reminders..........

1. Bikeability starts tomorrow 1:30 - 3:30
2. Fairthorne Manor information session after school on Tuesday, 3:30 - 4:30 in the school hall - I hope you can make it!
3. Thursday music rehearsal and concert - remember - drop off at St Osmunds by 9:15, with their school bag (snack and water bottle too), they will have to carry them back to school afterwards so make sure bags aren't too full!!!!! In the evening, drop off at 6pm to our assigned room and take your seats in the main sports hall to enjoy the concert due to commence at 6:30 for approximately an hour! All children are expected to attend, if you have a reason that this is not possible please can you speak to either Mrs. Mewett or Mr. Farrington.
4. Another reminder about football on Wednesday - Children need a tracksuit if it is a cold day and trainers (or astroturfs).

This week exciting learning will be building on learning from last week in literacy, where the children are beginning to plan their own version of a script based around Macbeth but set in the modern/futuristic day!!!!!!!! In numeracy last week, I am thrilled to say that, following a strategy check week, all the children demonstrated a secure knowledge and understanding of all 4 formal written calculation methods - they assessed themselves as confident and having made excellent progress - well done!!!! This week they will be learning all about area and perimeter and will be applying their learning at the end of the week. In RE we are learning about forgiveness and the season of Lent and Easter. In geography the children learned about hurricanes last week and will be applying their knowledge this week via a collaborative learning project. In French we have been learning how to ask how old someone is and how to say how old they are, as well as learning masculine nouns and adjectives. It was very exciting, because Jack and Taylor spotted a French book I had, and asked if they could read it to the class - which I thought showed immense courage! Well done boys! Orienteering was very successful last week and what a glorious day they had for it - I had super reports about how well the children behaved and represented the school - very proud (AGAIN) Year 4!
Amazing effort on you superhero costumes and ideas - well done, also a HUGE well done to all of you who made lots of effort to scoot or cycle to school!

I look forward to another exciting week!

See you all tomorrow - Well done!
