Crew Knowles: Character Traits

In our crew session this morning, we focused on looking at our Green Top character traits. We cut out all of our character trait statements and tried to match them back up to the correct headings: respect, courage, integrity, compassion, and quality and craftsmanship.

The discussions about each one and which character trait it could link to was amazing and I was blown away! Well done Crew Knowles!

Crew Knowles: National Storytelling Week

We’ve had a lovely start to National Storytelling Week today in Crew Knowles! We’ve read Chapter 4 and started Chapter 5 of our class text ‘The Last Bear’ and can’t wait to see what happens next! We also enjoyed the Y3 Learning Council coming to support our Accelerated Reader session and everyone was keen to show off their reading to them!

Crew Knowles: Magnet Fun!

Crew Knowles enjoyed investigating magnets and exploring how they attract and repel depending on the poles that are facing.

After we investigated the magnets, we used them to create some art work inspired by the Northern Lights! It’s safe to say we had lots of fun!

Crew Knowles: Hook Day 1

We’ve had lots of crafty fun today to immerse our classrooms ready for our new expedition all about climate change and polar bears!

First we created cotton wool polar bears, second we decorated our windows with sparkly stars and third we created polar bears using a page from our new class text! We also created hand print polar bears which look great on display!

Year 4 Swimming reminders

I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas holidays!

Just a reminder that Year 4 will start swimming first week back (WC 8th January)! Miss Knowles’ class will swim on Wednesdays and Mr Taylor’s class on Thursdays.

Please make sure you on time for school as we will be getting on the coach at 8.40am. If your child is not in school by that time, they will miss the swimming lesson.

Other reminders which can also be found on the letter:

  • The DMBC and Swimming Pool policy states that children must wear either a one-piece swimming costume, trunks or above the knee shorts. 
  • If your child uses an inhaler, they must take it to the lesson. Inhalers should be clearly labelled and be available at the poolside. Should any child fail to take their inhaler they will not be allowed to swim.
  • If your child has a verruca they are still permitted to swim.
  • Long hair, fringes must be tied back off the face with a plain band. Scrunchies, slides and headbands are not permitted.
  • Your child will not be permitted to swim if wearing nail varnish/temporary tattoos/henna tattoos/ear-rings.
  • All jewellery must be removed for swimming lessons.
  • Your child may wear goggles if they wish.

We can’t wait to get started!
