Year 4 are delighted with their new beanbag, books, table pots and Lego, which have been bought using money from the PTA- THANK YOU!

Year 4 are working hard to learn what fractions are, how to count on in fractions and trying to spot any patterns in fraction families! We began right at the beginning- we worked out how to share a whole in to equal parts! We created halves, quarters,fifths and so on, and even made a fraction walls ready for comparing fractionand finding equivalents!

We had a fabulous time at Warner Brothers’ Studios last week- we needed the weekend to recover from the long day! Everyone was full of excitement during the day and all children were a credit to our school and families. Here we are before we entered the studios- full of wonder! Year 4 & 5 children all took home their personal photgraph of them flying at Hogwarts (thank you to Mrs Rae for taking them to be printed). A huge thank you to all staff who accompanied us and ensured it was a great day!

Our trip to Warner Brothers’ Studios is on Thursday and we are all very excited! A few last minute pointers:

All children are to wear their school tracksuit. A packed lunch is required for lunch time along with a drink. Children will be having their evening meal at the studios (please ensure that you have paid for this on Sims Agora). Maximum spending money on the day is £10, if you have pre-ordered a gift for more than this, that is fine (please ensure that gifts have been paid for on Sims Agora before the day).

We are expected back at 8.45pm- we will update the school website and Twitter account as we return. Please check on there for any changes to our arrival time.

Please read again the letter with all of the information about the trip for a recap- it’s attached below.

*If you know that your child suffers from travel sickness, please provide travel sickness tablets for the coach trip to and from Warner Brother Studios*

We are hoping that this will be a memorable experience for our children to finish off the hard work they have put in on Harry Potter.

Many thanks for your support.

Mrs McDevitt & Mr Rolison.

Letter

Year 4 have enjoyed an eventful couple of days to end the term! Yesterday, we had ‘No Rules Day’ for the morning- everybody had to stay safe and have fun. Everbody enjoyed spending time in different classrooms and various locations around school, and lots of popcorn and squash was had!

A frantic clean up of the whole school took 12 minutes. This was followed by a debate where Year 4 decided that having no rules was the best idea- it was not a unanimous decision!

Today was spent watching movies, drinking hot chocolate, dancing, singing and playing games!Thank you all for your presents, cards and kind wishes. We wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmas; enjoy the holidays together.

Merry Christmas from Mrs McDevitt & Miss Piercy x

Year 4 led an Advent prayer service this week for the children in Year 2. The children thought about all of the things that bring joy to their lives and offered these up in prayer. Well done to both classes who were beautifully reverent during the afternoon service.

On Friday, to celebrate the last day of term, we are having a relaxing movie day in Year 4. Children are invited to come to school in their PJs or onsie (or slouch clothing). We will be having hot chocolate and marshmallows whilst watching our movie. To prepare for our upcoming trip to Harry Potter studios, we have chosen the movie, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (rated PG). The common sense movie website rates this film as 8+, which is correct for our year group. If you don’t want your child to take part, please let me know and I will make other arrangements for them.

During the afternoon, children are welcome to bring in their own games to play (these will be their own responsibility) with each other. There will also be colouring materials available for them and some of our class games.

We hope that it will be a fun, relaxing day to finish off the term after all of their hard work this term.

Mrs McDevitt & Miss Piercy
