Some home learning

This week in our Eco session, Year 4 have been learning about the importance of saving water. I would be grateful if parents could help by:
1) showing your child your water meter if it is accessible
2) explaining how much your water bill is
3) discussing some of the ways we can all save water in the home

You may find the following website useful that Year 4 looked at today:

Brass

Hooray!  Today the children will be bringing home their brass instrument.  We will be having lessons every Friday throughout this term.  Each Friday the children will need to bring their instrument into school, dropping it off in the classroom.  The children are responsible for the instrument and have been given instructions by Mr Penfold how to look after it.  For this week the children need to practise blowing and making a sound or tune with the mouth piece only.  Good Luck!

This week's learning

A new term, a new topic

We are beginning to get our teeth stuck into our Ancient Greece topic.  We will be looking at life in Ancient Greece, The People, The key events of the time, Myths and Legends and the influence that Ancient Greek civilisation has over us today.  The children have enjoyed designing their own mythical creatures through a website that can be accessed through Merlin.  We will be using these and more to inspire us over the next few weeks.

SWIMMING!!

Don't forget that swimming will be your first lesson back.  Meet as usual at the leisure centre on Wednesday 4th January.

Happy New Year!

I'm looking forward to seeing you all back at school on Wednesday 4th January.  I hope you had a relaxing Christmas holiday and are ready for another fun and challenging term!
