Great work, well done girls!
Boasting Boards
Roxi and Darcey-Rue have made it onto the boasting board this week for their excellent work on satellites. They have clearly explained what satellites are and how meteorologists use their data in order to predict the weather.
Great work, well done girls!

Making shapes
The children in Year 3 have been busy making 3D shapes, thinking carefully about their properties.
They have done a great job and have been creative with the materials and objects that they have found around the house.
Here are just a few examples.

Amazing Art
Over the last few weeks, the children have been completing lots of art work as part of their learning in their IPC topic, Paintings, Pictures and Photographs.
We have looked at the work of lots of different artists and have had a go at completing our own work, taking inspirations from the works of art that we have looked at.
The children have been encouraged to think carefully about colour, shape and detail as well as the perspective of the background and foreground.
I have been incredibly impressed by the quality of the work produced by the Year 3 and 4 children. I hope that you enjoy looking at some of our children's work.
I am sure there will be some more pieces to add as we are about to embark on an artist study of Pablo Picasso.

Boasting Boards
We have had lots of children who have earned a place on the boasting board over the last couple of weeks for super work and a great attitude towards their distance learning.
Here are some of the children's many achievements.
I am sure that there will be more to follow.

Roxi's art work
Today in IPC, the children have been looking at the work of French artist, Georges Seurat and the style of Pointillism.
The children were tasked to complete a piece of work using only dots of various sizes to create their picture.
Roxi created a range of different pieces. Here is her lovely flower picture.
The Powers of Persuasion!
This week, the children in Year 3 have been studying persuasive texts in English. Having looked at a range of different texts and examples of language features, the children were tasked to write a letter to their parents to try and persuade them that children aged 7 and over should be allowed to choose their own bedtime at the weekend.
There were some great letters produced and I was particularly impressed with Evie's letter which I have shared with you below.
I wonder if her letter was successful?!

Dear Mum
Having been a gorgeous, beautiful daughter of yours for the past eight years I feel it's now time for me to make some of my own decisions. Myself and my friends have discussed this and we think parents should allow children from the ages of 7 Years and over to decide their own bedtime on a weekend.
Firstly I am sure that you will understand the need for me to have some freedom at bedtimes? Specifically on a weekend, given that there are no early morning wake ups because we have no school. I believe that giving me the opportunity to decide on my bedtime will certainly encourage a high level of maturity in the future when making more important decisions.
Of course I am happy to help in and around the house which will benefit you!
I am sure this will be of some interest to you? As you can see I am very excited at the colourful idea of being able to stay up later on the weekend . Without doubt I will be able to watch some later programs on the TV , which can be very educational, for example ‘ The Great British sewing Bee’
Also I will make sure that all my homework is finished to the best of my ability therefore proving that my bedtime will not spoil my school work .
In addition it will give me time to make sure my bedroom is kept amazingly tidy, furthermore I will have time to read my fabulous books in bed.
On the whole I can see many advantages to choosing my own bedtime not only for myself but for you as parents. I am sure that children who are given some freedom at a younger age are less likely to be naughty.
As you can see there are some very important points to consider in this letter.
I look forward to hearing your reply.
Your sincerely
Your gorgeous daughter Evie

In the newspaper!
Flossie and her family came to the front of their house last night as they joined many others around the country to give a round of applause to show their appreciation for the NHS and other key workers who are helping to care for us during the fight against corona virus.
Whilst many people showed their appreciation in this way, Flossie and her sisters were caught on camera with their dog, Ronnie, and featured in the Daily Mail newspaper.
Creativity at work!
Grace has spent some time today creating this lovely rainbow using Pro Create on her iPad.
Thank you for sharing this Grace - it has brightened up my day and hope it brings a smile to everyone else's face too.

Chocolate Trip
On Thursday, the children in Years 3 and 4 had a very tasty trip as they launched their new IPC topic, Chocolate. We travelled to York to visit York’s Chocolate Story museum to learn more about the history behind York’s famous chocolatiers. The children were informed of where Joseph Rowntree began his business and how he developed his products. The children were also shown a video to explain how chocolate production began thousands of years ago and how it has developed into the yummy treat that we all enjoy today. Having thought about the history of chocolate, the children were taught how chocolate is made starting from the cocoa beans. There was interactive displays to help explain the many processes of chocolate production and then the children were shown how to correctly taste a piece of chocolate in order to fully appreciate the different flavours. The museum tour finished with the children making their own chocolate lollies and watching a live demonstration of how filled chocolates are made.
Around every corner there was more chocolate to sample so it is hardly surprising that some of the children deemed this to be ‘the best trip ever’!
Here are a few photos to show our children enjoying the trip.
