As part of aspirations week, we have been looking at money and the importance of making sensible decisions when it comes to looking after it. We spoke about some of the risks that are associated with money and what we can do to prevent them. We finally played an investment-based game where the children had to balance risk and reward when came to investing their money. Some of the children managed to make a good profit whilst others found out the hard way how easy it can be to lose money when the wrong choices are made.
In maths this week, we have been looking at different units of metric measurements. We looked at how to convert between millimetres, centimetres and metres before measuring some of the the different items in the classroom.
We have been creating some bunting in preparation for our next expedition. We decided to create volcanoes using leaves and paint, pressing the pattern onto our paper.
Hi! For those who participated in the tournament, please can you bring back your football kits back to school ASAP! These include shirts, shorts and socks. Some have even borrowed shin pads, so we need to ensure they are all back too.
Today, Year 3 and 4 were lucky to be able to visit XP for a tournament against other Trust schools: Norton Juniors and Plover.
The tournament started with a match between both Green Top teams, with a hard fought contest between year 3 and 4. The Year 3 team had a great time, showed lots of resilience and never gave up. They just kept going and scored some beautiful goals. For much of Year 3, this was their first time playing games together, so should be proud of their efforts.
The highlight for Year 3 was their 1-0 win over Plover, with a great move sealing the win. The team defended well and it was great to see a clean sheet being kept!
Year 4 had some hard fought games, winning a number and drawing a couple of others. The game of the tournament was their 4-4 draw, where they never gave up and showed tremendous resilience.
We can’t wait to keep building as teams and improving with more games in the future!
Myself and Mr Taylor really appreciate adults helping out with lifts, we really could not have done it without you.
We had lots of fun last Friday to celebrate Red Nose Day! It was so lovely to see lots of our children in red and enjoy a treasure hunt planned by Miss Barnett and the school council!
In our expedition lessons, we have been learning all about the digestive system! We have been looking at the different organs that are involved in the digestive system and learning all about how food travels from our mouth all the way through our body.
Happy Red Nose Day! It is great to see so many of you dressed in red to show your support today. Thank you for all your generous donations. The school council have one last challenge for you! Over the weekend, we wonder how many different red things you can find.
You could have a look around your house or even venture outside on a walk. Count how many different red things you can find to share with your crew on Monday. You could even take some pictures or draw what you can see.
Well done to all our winners from this week! Whether you are a ’Star Reader’, ’HoWLs point winner’, our ‘Out of This World’ for this week or even just had a shout out, everyone of you have been a deserved winner. Well done!
