Good afternoon all!
First of all, can I just say an enormous thank you to all the children and supportive parents/family members for all your hard work with homework. The children are so enthusiastic about both 'Mathletics' and 'Spelling Shed' and are completing their written spelling tasks to a high standard too. Keep it up everyone; you're doing an amazing job. Guess what Mums and Dads, the children won the 'Spelling Shed' award again this week!!!
We've had a brilliant week this week. As the sun was out on both Monday and Wednesday afternoons, we enjoyed some great outdoor learning. The children worked in teams to create the most amazing natural sculptures using the beautiful Autumn leaves; we were so impressed with, not only their fabulous creative skills, but also their team skills.
On Wednesday, the children enjoyed another energetic football lesson outdoors and then moved onto the woodland and lower field area to work in role play groups. They are clearly extremely talented actors and actresses as they all re-enacted 'The Lorax' just brilliantly!
Here are a few photos taken during both art and drama!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone and see you Monday!

Good afternoon everyone!
Well done year 4 on a super week. A lively and chatty week to begin with, but by the end of the week you have all shown us what a quiet, hardworking and mature team you are! We are very proud of you all; the 'A' team!
Success again in assembly today too! Congratulations on winning the 'Spelling Shed' award this week; your trophy is standing proudly on our bookshelf! Keep up the fabulous hard work!
We began the week with some wonderful artwork. We had planned sculpture work in our lovely outdoor area; however, rain became an issue and hence we practised shading techniques with charcoal. We are focusing on the sculpture work of Andy Goldsworthy just now and hence the children were creating circular patterns with shading as a link to his work. There was almost as much charcoal on the children afterwards, however!! I have added a couple of lovely examples of the children's work below; they produced some fabulous ideas.
The children thoroughly enjoyed P.E. again this week; with football outdoors on Wednesday and dance yesterday, they are certainly keeping fit and healthy! Again, I have added a couple of photos.
The children are continuing to develop their knowledge of 'classification keys' in science as they sort animals and are loving appraising Prokofiev's 'Peter and the Wolf' work in music too.
Once again, it has been a full on, but fun week!
Do have a great weekend together and see you all on Monday!
Mrs Matthews, Mrs Scott and Miss Hewitt.

Good evening everyone!
Thank you so much class 4 for all your fabulous hard work again this week; I am so proud of you all! Your homework has been amazing too; I am so impressed!
It has been a funny week as I was out on Tuesday all day at a P.E. co-ordinator's meeting. We were very busy organising lots of wonderful sporting activities for you all this year!
However, I will be back in class as usual all week this next week and have lots planned for you.
This week we have worked so hard in maths; developing mental maths as we add and subtract multiples of 100 and 10. In literacy, we have continued to work hard on developing our grammar and descriptive writing too. I can't wait to mark your 'Window' descriptive work! We have focused on poetry in reading and have even presented poems to the class. We have practised comprehensions too; all linked to our 'Animals and Habitats' topic.
The children are really enjoying our topic work; we have learnt all about the Jewish festival of Hanukkha this week and today we have once again focused on our geography work surrounding settlements. On Monday, I am looking forwards to continuing our classification work in science.
The dance work the children have been working on is really looking fabulous; the children are creating a whole class dance. Perhaps I could post a video of it once they have completed it; certainly more photos anyway!!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
See you all Monday,
Mrs Matthews

Hey Class 4! How are you today?
We have had a fantastic week with Mrs Matthews, Mrs Scott, and Miss Hewitt. We can’t wait for next week, but we’re here to tell you all about everything we have done this week.
We’ve done so much! We got to do Maths outside on the playground with chalk. We drew number lines including negative numbers and then Mrs Matthews quizzed us on our amazing knowledge. It was a really fun lesson!
On Wednesday, we spent Literacy in the forest! Paired in partners, we strolled around the forest writing down nouns, verbs and adjectives all to do with nature. We are very lucky to have such a luscious forest area to learn in because this helped us write a descriptive piece of writing all about the forest.
Thursday was an amazing day! Part way through our morning, we did some street dance with an amazing instructor called Lucy. We focused on corner work that included poses, and at the end we are starting to put together a dance.
Along with our extremely busy week, we also took time remembering Her Majesty the Queen. We’re sure that King Charles III will be an extraordinary King following his mother.
We hope you have a lovely weekend.
From the Class 4 Team (Jess, Florence, Tommy).

Good afternoon everyone!
What a wonderful first week we have had together in class 4! Your children are all just fabulous! They have shown super enthusiasm all week for all the activities we have shared. Mrs Scott, Miss Hewitt and myself are delighted with our new class and know we are going to have a great year together.
We had planned to venture out into the woodland this afternoon to bring our science to life! As you might imagine however, the dreadful weather has put a stop to that! We have been discussing animals and their habitats, so if you're outdoors on a lovely walk this weekend do have a look out for different habitats.
The children have told me so many lovely things about their Summer holidays and have written some lovely recounts. I can't wait to read those this weekend.
In view of the dreadful news of Queen Elizabeth, we have spent quite some time sharing images and video clips of the queen today. I have asked the children to do a little research this weekend and list their favourite memories of the queen in their homework books. This might include images, drawings or a list of ideas.
We hope you all have a wonderful weekend; let's hope we see no more of the wet weather!!
Here are a few photos we took of the children this afternoon; we'd planned photos in the forest, but instead we took some indoors to avoid us getting completely soaked!!
See you soon,
Mrs Matthews, Mrs Scott and Miss Hewitt
