Good evening everyone!
It's been another very busy but fun week here in class 4. The children are absolutely loving our Ancient Egyptians topic; not only are they enjoying learning lots of exciting historical facts in history, they are enjoying applying their learning to their art work and also their writing in literacy too. The children have enjoyed beginning to learn about Howard Carter's exciting discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb and are developing a bank of interesting facts about the lives of the Ancient Egyptians too.
In literacy, having heard the exciting story of 'Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx', the children have been planning their very own Egyptian adventure stories too. They are cleverly using the facts they are learning in history to enrich their writing; I can't wait to read the exciting adventure stories they are all creating!
P.E. continues to inspire the children; they are loving developing great badminton skills and are getting quite competitive with each other as they play different skills-building games. I have been so impressed how well the children have adapted to badminton.
Our music lessons sound just gorgeous at the moment; the children are practising their folk festival songs most days. The corridor down Key Stage 2 sounds wonderful on an afternoon; I can't wait for the children to perform in the church next Friday.
We have been very busy working on statistics this week; the children's problem solving skills when interpreting data is improving all the time.
As it was polling day yesterday, the children had their very own ballot in class too. They loved it! I have to admit, it wasn't a vote for their favourite mayor or councillor though! As they had successfully filled the treasure pot, I decided to allow the children to have a democratic vote (voting slip and ballot box included of course) on the reward they should all receive! Their choices were a tasty treat, stories outdoors, team games outside or extra playtime. After carefully counting all their ballot papers, it was the 'extra playtime' the children selected. They loved 15 minutes extra time to play on the field and trim trail just before assembly today; a very well-deserved treat I think!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the Bank Holiday.
See you on Tuesday,
Mrs Matthews & Mrs Pearce
