News
Bike day today was very exciting.............Year 4 teamed up and designed a smoothie which they made by peddle power!!!!!!! After, in assembly, we had some visitors who awarded us with our silver Eco Award - one away from the highest Green Flag Award!!!! This afternoon in PE we learned and practised racing starts as part of sprints and then practised relay technique, finished off by a 700m run. Great work Year 4. We then worked on our pencil drawing skills and are working on detailed pictures of a chosen, framed part of a bicycle: perspective, shade, tone, texture and detail.
Yesterday Shannon came in to school sporting 4 medals. She told us that she had competed for Dorset in Wales, as part of a team. Her team won 2 golds, a silver and a bronze and that was out of 12 teams!!!! Phenomenal!!!! Well done Shannon!!!
Rocco returned today from Italy, where he represented Great Britain. He came 4th with a big personal best time as well!!!!! What a superb achievement!!! We can't wait to see his GB outfit!!!!
2 more potential Olympians..........keep chasing those dreams everyone-anything and everything is possible!!!!!
PJ swimming tomorrow-normal kits plus you pjs, please come in your uniform as usual!!!!
Well done again Shannon and Rocco.......
A VERY proud Mrs. Johnson

Today's Jigsaw lesson.
Bike it breakfast tomorrow, as we are having a bike day, if there are enough bikes from year 4, we MAY use them in PE!!!!!
A request please, in line with our healthy schools policy (which can be accessed via the website), please could ALL children ensure they are having a fruit or veg snack and put it in the snack tray, fruit and milk are also available in the playground. Thank you.
As I said at the SRE meeting last Thursday, I would blog the outcome of the lesson. Today we discussed how we were unique but that we had characteristics from our birth parents, these special "ingredients" or "genes" were what created us at conception when the sperm (male carrier) joined with the egg (female carrier).........this resulted in all sorts of questions about twins where we dipped into chromosomes. I informed the children about the next couple of lessons.
The Roman Day picnic sign up sheet is in the cloakroom, thank you to those who have already signed up!!!!!

News, requests and luck!
Thank you to those parents that came along to the SRE meeting on Thursday, I hope you found it useful and reassuring, please come and ask any questions that arise. These particular Jigsaw lessons will be on the next 3 Mondays, I will blog that evening to inform you how the lesson went just I case you wish to discuss it at home or if the children want to ask you any questions, then you are ready for them!
We are keeping our fingers crossed for Harry who did his tap exam last week and is eagerly waiting the results, he also has a ballet exam coming up which we wish him the very best of luck for. On Wednesday and Thursday this coming week he is also performing in the Dorchester Youth Theatre production of Alice in Wonderland (at the corn exchange-I think, or it could be the Arts Centre!?!? Need to check with Harry on that one!!!) Do go along if you can, phone first to see if you need tickets, but I am sure it will be fantastic!!!!!
Talking of talented Year 4, the music soirée is this week and I cannot wait to see all the children perform as there is so much talent and all the children have been inspiring each other to take up musical instruments!!!!
And yet MORE talent.......Good Luck Rocco, who is, as we speak, in Italy in preparation for the World Biathle Series competition, representing Great Britain on Sunday-we are all cheering for you here and can't wait to hear how you get on and definitely want to see your Team GB outfit!!!!!
A note cam home tonight about costumes for our Roman Day on Tuesday 23rd June, look out for the food list at some point this week! The letter also included a costume request for our leavers assembly - please come and ask any questions if it didn't make sense!!!! :-)
Have a fabulous weekend enjoying the glorious weather, and have fun at the school fair if you can make it!!!!!!!
Mrs. J and the Fab Y4 Team!!!
Ps there is still time to dig out your Indian Saris and outfits and come and join us for the carnival on Saturday 20th June, we need more people, which would also make us look so colourful and vibrant dancing along (parents too!!!)

This week......+ notices
Well, here we are in our final half term..........I don't think we have a single "normal" week!!!!
This week: Clarinet is now on a Tuesday morning 9:00 - 9:30 with Mr. Kevin Goodwin from DMS.
On Thursday, at 9:00 in the school hall is our Jigsaw and SRE parents information session for you to see what I will be teaching and to look at the resources being used.
There will be no running club this week, starting back next Tuesday!
Swimming as usual this week.
You may need to start thinking about costumes..........the children will be asked to dress up as a Roman for our Roman day and also, in mind of our Leavers Assembly, I would like each child to wear a super hero outfit - preferably not a bought "Marvel" one but a more "custom - made" one that represents what their superhero persona would be........sporty, musical, funny......etc - shorts/pants over tights or leggings, a top with a made up logo to represent their character, then an optional cape and or eye mask? (Can you guess the theme?) The brighter and more extravagant the better!!!! This will be for the last day of term!
"Why are The Romans so important that the new National Curriculum says I have to teach you about Roman Numerals?" This is our "big" question for the half term......we discussed possibilities and thought of our own questions that we would like to research about The Romans. We also began learning about Roman Numerals - great fun!!!!!!!
Ask your child about the "send a friend to school" campaign?
