Easter Holiday
Hope you all have a fantastic holiday! See you all on Monday 15th April.
Active maths
During the sunshine yesterday P3/4 went on a Times Table treasure hunt. They had to find the sums that matched their answers. Once they found the correct sum they had to record the letter on the flag to de-code the secret message.
We all had great fun.
P4s code said – We are great at maths
P3s code said – We enjoy maths
Alternatives for ‘SAID’
Today in P3/4 we worked together to come up with lots of alternatives for ‘SAID’. We created a Wordcloud with our ideas.

Egypt Story
In story writing the children had to write the ending to the story. The story was titled ‘ The pyramids of Giza’.
The Pyramids of Giza
The children had to continue the story from the red part.
“Don’t forget,” shouted Mr Howard over the noise of children milling around, and the general clamour of a busy quayside on the River Nile. “Stay in your groups, use your water bottles frequently, wear sun hats, and watch the time. The boat leaves at 2 o’clock.”
“Brilliant!” thought Franziska. “I’m going shopping.”
“No time to waste!” Yasmin urged, thinking the same thing. “C’mon boys let’s spend some Egyptian pounds. ”Mehmet and Ben looked less than thrilled, but as they needed to buy presents, followed the girls anyway. But Mehmet groaned when he saw the crowded shop. “Let’s shop on the way back,” he said, guiding the group towards the pyramids. The children had seen pictures of the pyramids and Great Sphinx at school, but nothing had prepared them for the real thing. “Wow!” said Ben, staring in amazement. “They’re enormous! Look at the Great Sphinx – it really has lost its nose!” Speechless with wonder, the children ambled around gazing at the pyramids, when suddenly from the dark, shadowy base of the smallest pyramid, a strange voice called out to them.
“Children – come, come over here, I have special gifts for you. Let me show you ancient relics from which you will never be parted.”
Then they walked inside very slowly and they saw some ancient symbols on a wall. They looked like pictures. “I think they are Hieroglyphics” said Mehmet. They explored every room then suddenly they came face to face with a cloaked man with a dog’s head. They were terrified. Then out of nowhere came some strange people things with human bodies and bird’s heads. They started to charge!
One tried to hit Ben but he ducked. The soldier lost his sword. Ben quickly grabbed the sword and he attacked the soldiers so that he could get their gifts. Ben grabbed the gifts. They all ran and ran then the door started to close in front of them so they had to slide under it. They ran to the boat but the boat had just left. The boys plunged in and they swam and swam. Finally they reached the boat. They climbed up and sailed away.

Just a couple of reminders –

Homework will go out on a Tuesday and be collected in on Monday.
As the ground is very wet and muddy can you ensure all children have indoor shoes especially during PE days.
Last Chance!
Lost Property- Christmas 2012
There are many un-named items in lost property. Most of them have been there for at least the past term. These items will be available in the school reception area from 2:30-3pm Mon 17th Dec – Thu 20th Dec. Following this all unclaimed items will be put to the Blysthwood box.
Items include numerous gym shoes, hats, gloves, scarves, school jumpers, school polos, drinks bottles, lunch boxes as well as those listed previously on the website.
Remember the best way to avoid lost property is to put your childs name on all items that come to school with them.
Have a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

Christmas Surprise!

We started by finishing our BFG ears in class – They are really B I G.
Next we watched a live show through GLOW – we got to see lots of different people talking about their favourite Roald Dahl books and characters. Chris Hoy, the Olympic cyclist loves George and the Marvelous Medicine. We wore our BFG ears while we watched.
Then at the end of the day we listened to the start of the Twits! We liked listening to Mr Twit !

1/ Art – We had to make a background for our landscape silhouettes. We made a wash of yellow and orange paint. It was really messy but the results are great.
2/Topic and maths – Today we went outside to measure our shadows. We were amazed at how long they were. We worked really well in our trios. Our smallest shadow was 100cm! Our largest shadow was 210cm.
3/ Story writing- This weeks writing was about a crazy class were every thing we drew came to life. We had monkeys, Moshi monsters and all sorts of creatures around our classroom!
PE Kit!
Remember PE kit for tomorrow please!
Paralympics Spelling
Today we discussed in detail all about the Olympic and Paralympic values. We even watched a video that helped us understand why the values are important.
For our spelling today we had to try and think of as many words as we could using the letters in Paralympics! It was tricky but we worked well in our pairs.
Have a look for yourselves!
Today’s blog was written by Emmy
Light and Sound
Our Topic this term is Light and Sound.
This week we have been looking at shadows.
This lesson came from a poem called My Shadow by Robert Louis Stevenson.
We talked about why your shadow gets longer later in the day. Each student drew themselves, and cut them out with a matching shadow of black or gray paper.
Then came the fun part. We cut the shadows and s-p-r-e-a-d them out to glue them, to make them longer, colouring in the spaces in between. We added backgrounds, and these were our results!
