This morning during crew we worked together to play listening games. We then went on to take it in turns to guide our blind folded partner, using verbal instructions and sound signals, through an obstacle course. Afterwards the children reflected on how specific their instructions were, how trust was an important part of crew and how being blind folded made them feel. It also made some think about how well they know their left and right!

Yesterday we made links between the segregation in the story ‘Mixed’ and the history of the Berlin Wall. The children were able to use their knowledge of World War 2 to understand how and why Germany was divided. We went on to produce artwork similar to that which was graffitied on the Berlin Wall, showing our thoughts about important matters like peace, freedom, saving our planet and racism. Here are some of our finished pieces.
Well done Crew Jackson for taking part in a silent discussion about our transition text ‘Mixed’. You all gave fantastic mature opinions and I was very impressed with your working attitude. Keep up the hard work!

Well done to the children who arrived this morning in time to take part in our crew challenge. The worked really hard to collaborate, discuss ideas and problem solve so they could make the tallest free standing tower of shoes. Great perseverance guys!
Good luck on Sunday England! Make the children of year 4 proud! Although, we’re already very proud to be honest.

Earlier this week in expedition the children verbally gave such kind comments about each other’s work so I decided today we would go on a gallery work and record our notices and praises. Wow!!! What kind, thoughtful children we have in class 12! Using the remember to list linked to our propaganda posters for joining the Women’s Land Army, the children went around the room and gave kind and specific feedback to their peers. Brilliant work guys. I am so proud of each and every one of you.

This morning in Class 12 the children worked collaboratively to do roll on the wall all about quadrilaterals. They took it in turns from their team to go out and look at the information, return to their group and record what they could recall. I was so impressed with their work hard attitudes, recall of the names of the different quadrilaterals and understanding of their properties. Keep up the hard work guys!

This week in class 12 the children have been learning all about the roles of women in WW2. They found it strange that before the war women didn’t do all the jobs they do now! Yesterday the children worked collaboratively to complete a jigsaw of Land Army Propaganda posters and from this could draw lots of information to tell me about what it used to be like. The children are currently working on creating their own propaganda posters with catchy slogans and appropriate pictures. I can’t wait to see their final work!
