We had a long wait today until Freya came back with news about how she got on at the Young Fiddler of the Year competition! We were excited to hear all about it and she was delighted to share her certificate with us. Well done Freya! We are all proud of you! 👏

This week we have been trying to recreate what is happening to our planet….in a bottle!
We measured out some vinegar and added a thermometer to two bottles of the same size. Both bottles had a balloon fixed to the top, but to one balloon we added some bicarbonate of soda first. When emptied into the bottle, it with the vinegar, giving off carbon dioxide, which is one of the gases causing harm to our planet. This is contributing to Climate Change. Both bottles were set on the window sill to catch the heat from the sun.
Some pupils predicted that the temperature would rise, some said it would fall and some thought there would be no change!
It was very exciting seeing the carbon dioxide inflating the balloon!
We took the temperature of each bottle before the experiment began and again after 1 minute to see if there was a change in temperature. We read the temperature again after 10 minutes and again 24 hours later. We are leaving the experiment out for a week to see what happens.
We’ll let you know the results of our experiment next week!

We grabbed our chalk and headed outdoors last week to show what we had been learning about telling the time!
Some helpers drew clock shapes on the playground ready for our task. Each person gave their partner a “time” to draw on the clock face. These varied from o’clock/half past/quarter past,/quarter times to minutes past/to the hour. We also wrote a digital time to match, sometimes including a 24 hour clock too!
Some pupils gave their partner challenges to find things like 27 minutes after a given time. This took a bit more thinking!
Keep having fun showing time when you are out and about P4/5/6. Perhaps you can make a clock on the beach next time!

During P6 Bikeability time on Monday afternoons, P4/5 have been busy working in small groups to create their own animations. The plan was to create an animation to help children in the school learn something that they might find tricky.
Our groups are making animations showing alphabetical order, 3 Times Table, Tricky Words and Telling the Time.
We have a couple of weeks left to tweak our animations and then hopefully we can share them with you!
Some people chose to use words and pictures in their animations…
Some groups chose to use items in the classroom to make their animations…
We can’t wait to see the finished products!

What have we done today? It’s been a busy day with lots going on!
First the class went to see Mrs Inkster for their Music class. They have been working on, “Wonderland Tea Party Rhythms.” This has involved them using different phrases to help them clap out the rhythms. Then they saw how these rhythms looked in musical notation.
Grammar was waiting for them on their return! Different groups were looking at different aspects of grammar… speech marks, homophones using dictionary work and proper adjectives.
We took advantage of the nice weather to go outside to measure larger areas in metres and centimetres. We found keeping count of the whole metres the hardest part when measuring the length of the multi court! Tomorrow, we will try using the trundle wheel some more and we’ll look at the different ways these measurements can be recorded.
The afternoon saw us quietly reading…always a relaxing, enjoyable time! Then we wrote out our, “Diamond 9 Skills for Teamwork,”ideas. We worked on these last week, deciding in small groups, which skills we thought were most important when working together. See the photos below.
Lastly, some pupils went through to Mrs Inkster to let her hear their voices ahead of choir starting up again. She was very impressed!

Over a few weeks, we have been working on our class charter. First, we talked about the work of the United Nations which then led us to look at the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. There are many “Articles” in the convention but we focused on the main ones that we felt were important in our class. We chose those that fitted – Be Heard, Be Ourselves, Be Healthy and Be safe. We worked in groups to say what this would look like in our class as we learn together. We gathered everyone’s ideas and these were turned into statements that we are going to try our best to abide by in class. 🙂
There was also a discussion about what the children want their teachers to try to provide. Mrs Henderson and I will work hard on these too and we’ll try our best not to let you down. 🌞
Please see pictures of our Class Charter below.

A huge well done to Inara, Jade, Georgia and Lily who put themselves forward for Vice Captain of their House Team. They all thought so carefully about what skills they can bring to this role and spoke so well about their interest in the committees they will be involved in. It’s not easy to deliver a speech on Teams to the whole school but they were all so quietly confident and handled the occasion brilliantly! Good luck to you all. It’s a hard choice!

As part of our Health and Wellbeing lesson this week, we went outside to try a game that needed us all to work together to make the task work! We had to pass around the ball, without letting it touch the ground or our hands. It also had to touch everyone’s legs, no jumping over! After a few tries, we quickly realised that we had to alter how we sat together and how we passed it on. Our best time was 21 seconds! I wonder if it will ever be beaten?
P.S. Welcome back to Scarlett!
