Science Festival

Image
  We had a great day today in Cheltenham for the Science Festival. When we arrived we went to Cheltenham Town Hall to watch a show all about 'Sound'.  We then headed to the festival park to immerse ourselves in all the different Science activities taking place.  Here are some of the photos that we took during our tour around the Discovery Zone.   

NSPCC Childhood Day

  Yesterday, we completed our mile for the NSPCC Childhood Day. It was rather hot!  This was us at the start. We took our water bottles and walked around the course, that Mr T had set up for us and chatted as we went. We had to complete the course four times to ensure we walked the total distance of one mile.  And that is us at the end of the mile as we were heading back to the classroom. 

Cultural Day

  Apologies for the late upload of this one, it got lost in the last day of term.  We had a lovely day learning about Germany.  We made some flags, learned about what school is like in Germany and how to say numbers 1-10 in German.  Filip did some amazing research about German flags and brought it in to show us.  Unfortunately the photographs are not uploading correctly at the moment. 

Coronation Day

  Whilst it was a shame that the picnic was cancelled due to the weather, it did not dampen out spirits and we still managed to have a fantastic day.  We had a great time decorating some biscuits for our Coronation Enterprise Workshop.  And what a super job we did too, as we were the first to sell all of our products. Next time, we will have to make more.  We also had a great, if very messy time, creating crowns. Sorry Tina the cleaner, as our floor was left sparkling like a Strictly garment! We hope that everyone enjoys as the celebrations continue over the weekend and we look forward to hearing all about it next week. 

Connect Us Challenge

  We were set a really interesting challenge by Mrs Hurst in PSHE. We had to pass the ball around the entire circle without using either our arms or our legs. Needless to say, we were unsure whether it was even going to be possible to begin with.  But we worked together as a team, learnt how important communication is as well as problem-solving and therefore trying out different suggestions for how we might achieve this.  We might have dropped the ball a few times, but we just picked it up and carried on, working on our resilience and managing to complete the challenge. Even if it did take a little longer than we had anticipated. Then we calm back into the classroom and enjoyed some 'Calm Me' time, which was much needed after all the excitement. 

World Book Day

  Well what a fantastic day we had on Thursday for World Book Day! First of all, let's take a moment to appreciate the costumes and the level of effort that everyone made.  We held our own catwalk show in the classroom and each of us shared the word that we had come dressed up as. The adults managed to select the top 5 costumes, whittle it down to 2 and then we voted on who the winner should be.  We then had a special assembly in the hall where the winners from each class were announced.  The winner in 4HT was Betty for coming as the word 'biodiversity'.    Sienna was a very close 2nd as her costume was fantastic!  We headed outside for a Reading Trail which was great fun and definitely challenged us!  At the end of the day, Mrs Reading came to read to us and then we spent some time reading with children in her class.
