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! 👏

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!

Over the past week, we have been putting together a class dance with an African feel! It was a beautiful day so we took our rehearsals outside and managed to run through all the steps as a class. They’ve picked it up really quickly. In the afternoon Fearne’s Mum, Mercyline, met us in the multi court to show us some moves that would be typical in the Sengenya dance and then she helped us add some of these movements into the group sequences that the children created. They had some lovely, creative ideas! We’ll record these dances tomorrow and hope to share our work at the end of term. A big thank you to Mercyline for giving up her time for us. 😊
