DT - Sandwiches

On Wednesday for our DT topic we got the chance to create sandwiches that we had planned. We also practised our slicing and spreading skills. Afterwards, we sat down in a circle and enjoyed our sandwiches not forgetting to say a blessing from each of our cultures for the food we had.

Roman WOW Day

On the 18th of December, we had an amazing Roman WOW day. All children got to consolidate their learning at the end of the topic as our visitor brought our Roman topic alive. Experts like Kevin have subject knowledge that is second-to-none and he soon had the children transfixed on what he was telling them and his artifacts.

Here are a few quotes from the children.

Maida A "I thought the Roman day was really fun. I got to hold the shield and it was really heavy."

Asli "I thought the Rman day was really interesting as Kevin taught us even more interesting facts than we already knew."

Sabrina "The Roman WOW day was really fun and he showed us how to use shields and the spears."

Take a look at our day below.

chess

Here we are taking part in our chess class. Every week the children look forward to a Thursday afternoon. Lots of children have even been having a go at home.

I think chess is great fun. (Mohamed)

I like chess because it is great to challenge a friend. (Hamdi)

I like chess because we have a great mentor and it gives me a chance to practise my skills (Abdirazaq)

Anti Bullying Week Video

Another great performance from Year 4. After doing such a great job for music week we were also asked to create a song for cyber bullying. All children created their own songs and then we used different sentences from children's books to create a class song. Year 4 always make me so proud with their talents and eagerness to put on a good performance.

Children in Need

We have had a really great day celebrating Children in Need. A big thank you to all parents who supported their children in getting dressed up. It was great to see the effort made to create new super heroes. Take a look at a few of ours below:

                                 

      

                                         

PE Kit

Year 4 are really pleased to have their PE kit. Today was the first day that we got to wear it and all the children looked really smart. We are hoping the weather stays dry tomorrow for our outdoor PE.

Children In Need

                              

                                                           Be a Super Hero for the day.

Friday the 14th is Children In Need day. We will be celebrating by dressing up as a Super Hero for the day, contributing 50p to charity. Please encourage children to take part and support them with creating a costume. Remember you do not have to go spending money on a costume as it could be made using items around the home. Don't forget some special shoes (could be your wellies), a cape, some gloves (marigolds) and even a face mask. Children can come as a well known Super Hero or they can create their own one.

                                                           What Super Hero will your child be?

                                         

 

          

French person of the week.

                                     

Take a look at our special French children of the weeks so far. Every week a new child is selected to greet Mrs Cartlidge as she enters our learning zone. This gives children the extra opportunity to practise their French. We are also completing the register in French as well as learning our numbers to ten and asking a friend how they are, also being able to reply if asked.

                                                                           

                                                                           

Music lyrics.

Below you can a photograph of our music week lyrics below. The children as a whole class together decided on what school means to them, daily routine and the things/lessons that they most enjoy. We then placed these ideas together into verses and a chorus to an instrumental tune, creating a song all about Cabot. The video is on its way, however we are having trouble up loading it. Keep checking back. 

Music Week

                                                              Music Week

I hope you are all enjoying the half term break.

The final week of the first term was a very exciting one. Our task from Miss Heppner was to create some verses about Cabot. The children thoroughly enjoyed creating their thoughts about Cabot and we decided to create a whole song. The children worked really well together, choosing an instrumental beat and then listening carefully to the tune to create verses that fitted. 

Take a look at the message Miss Heppner left for us when we got back from lunch.

Video clip of the performance to follow.

News reports

Over the last three weeks we have been focusing on newspaper reports in literacy. As we are now in our invention week, we are working in small groups to create a news report together. Take a look as us planning below.

I am enjoying working with my freinds. We are writing a news report about    Eid. Sumaya. 

It is really exiting and it is fun working with my freinds we all get to share our knowlege. In our news report we must remember to include a catchy headline and a reporters name. Yahya

chess

Year 4 Chess

Next week Year 4 will be starting Chess every Thursday afternoon. We will have around 30 lessons that will help the children to play confidently against their opponent. Lots of children also have siblings in Year 6 who have previously had Chess lessons so they will be able to practise at home as well as share tips. We are really looking forward to this exciting opportunity. Keep checking the blog for some Chess photos.

Library

Our Brand New Library 

On Monday it was the official opening of our new school library and it has been published in the Evening Post today (17th September). We recently went over to explore the new library and take a look at the all the brand new books. Take a look at us enjoying our first visit. We couldn't get our heads out of the books.
