Swim Marathon

Evening All,

Well, Shannon did well in her competition coming 4th - and 1st/2nd in some of her individual events out of some 30+gymnasts!!!!!! Finals this week-end!!!

We are about to finish our epic WW2 stories, which will be displayed from Wednesday, so please come and have a read! Moving stuff!!!!! We have been working very hard on our handwriting, presentation and appeal to the reader, therefore including fronted adverbial phrases, adjectives, adverbs, powerful verbs, exciting punctuation, similes.............wow!!!!

Our numeracy was multiplying and dividing by 10, 100,1000, 10000 including decimal points - we have cracked it!!!!!! Try it at home and bring some examples in to show me!!!

Last Thursday we had a visit from Professor Yamashita who came from Japan and was visiting some DASP schools to see our science in action! We were "buzzing" with electricity in Year 4, learning about atoms, electrons, positive and negative charge, circuits, universal circuit diagrams and static electricity. He was very impressed! The children also showed impeccable manners - well done!!!

FYI - a letter will be coming home about a forthcoming Swim Marathon for Year 4s to take part in if they can (it is this coming Saturday afternoon at 2pm for an hour - we would love as many as possible to come along!)
Farm this Thursday - so appropriate clothing as usual.
We are looking forward to our visit to the Tank Museum on Friday!

WW2 costumes - for our assembly on 17th October, out trip to the Nothe Fort and out VE Day Tea Dance, we would like all children to wear a WW2 evacuee costume. Use internet pictures to help you, use what you can find at home - don't go buying expensive costumes unless you really want to - its amazing what you can find in the local charity shops!!!!!

Thanks once again for your support!

Year 4 Team
