Year 4 have been putting their gardening skills to use by clearing out the produce from last year and planting beetroot, lettuce leaves and sugar snap peas. Yum!
Today Year 4 began their new science topic of Electricity by making a group presentation explaining what atoms are and what electrical current is. Here they are:

Today Year 4 took part in the Chance to Shine Cricket Tournament at Standard Cricket Club. The whole class did an excellent job at representing the school and All Souls’ Team A, finished in second place out of 12 teams. Well done everyone!
Year 4 will be attending a cricket tournament at Standard Cricket Club on Wednesday 26th April.
The tournament will take place during school time (10am-2pm) and therefore all children will need to bring a packed lunch to school. Also, please make sure that all children have their full outdoor PE kit with them, including trainers and some extra layers to keep them warm.
Many thanks!

Year 4 Easter Holiday Homework
- Please make sure that you continue to read regularly over the Easter break. Record any reading that you do in your Reading Record and ask for it to be signed by an adult.
There will be a prize for the children who read every day and fully complete their Reading Record.
- Complete at least 2 of the times tables grids. Everyone is really improving the speed and accuracy of their times tables, but regular practise is still very important. Remember to time yourself and try and beat your previous time!
- Practise the spelling list that you have taken home. This can be done on a ‘Look, Cover, Write, Check’ sheet, or in your homework book.
- Our science topic after Easter will be ‘Electricity’. In your homework book, create a one page fact file about electricity. This should include some interesting facts and some pictures. It can be presented however you would like.

THE IRON MAN RISES DRAGON DANGER
Year 4 have been reporting on the rising of the Iron Man and the appearance of the Space-Bat-Angel-Dragon in Australia.
Year 4 have been learning about the Beatitudes in RE this week. Here is some lovely display work created by Molly, Lucy, Niamh, Muno, Reuben, Zuzie, Ocean and Lily.
Unfortunately Year 4’s swimming lesson tomorrow (Tues 21/03/17) has been cancelled due to staff availability. Back to normal next week.
There will be no Futsal on Tuesday 21st March as I will be accompanying Year 5 on their trip to Alton Castle. Apologies for this, we will be back to normal next week.
Mr Marsh
The Superstars assembly was cancelled today but I am pleased to announce that Year 4’s Superstar this week is Lebron. He has taken on board the advice from the Parent Consultation Evening and improved his handwriting as well as his all round attitude towards school. Well done Lebron!! Keep it up.
