I can hardly believe I am writing my final blog of this half term. The past six weeks have certainly been different and have challenged us all in different ways. I could not be prouder of the children; they have all thrown themselves into their learning and so much learning has happened.
Read moreThis week...
It’s hard to believe we have already reached half term, time has just flown by. The children have had a very busy half term and we are now in need of a rest, we have seen them start to flag towards the end of the week.
It has been extremely cold this week but we have not been put off from going outside. We have wrapped up warm and embraced the chill factor. Have a look at the photos to see our outside learning!
We also carried on with our shape learning by finding ice shapes!! I must say we found some odd looking shapes too!
We have continued learning about number five and have drawn and decorated some ‘high five’ pictures. Clare also made a math’s game, it was great fun! I think we will be able to move on after the holidays…I can’t wait! Here are our high five photos. Click here for a math’s counting game and see if you can get your gold star from Miss Grizzlesniff.
On Wednesday we had a building afternoon. We made a long long road for the cars and then built bridges and tunnels. It was a team effort, the road even went underneath the table, it was sooooo long!
Also on Wednesday we made our own percussion orchestra and Colette played the guitar. We sang and played all our favourite songs and learnt a new one called ‘We’re going to the zoo’. You can watch it here.
During our P.E. session the children have been finding their calm by doing yoga. Why don’t you try at home Click here to ‘squish the fish’!
On Friday we all listened to a poem called Tiger tiger burning bright. It wasn’t very long but it did have some new words for us to think about. Click here to listen.
Here are the photos of all the other learning we have been doing this week. It’s no wonder we are all tired!
Finally, if you have any free time over the half term holiday click here for interactive games to play. Oh, and there is always Purple Mash, keep an eye out for ‘to do’s’!
I hope you all have a lovely week and that the weather is kind to us all. Remember to keep yourselves safe and well and we will see you all on the 22nd.

The last of your fantastic animations!
These are the last few animations of our photography and animation topic, I love that you have all enjoyed this topic so much that some of you did extra ones to entertain your friends. You are just brilliant children!
Make sure you scroll all the way down and press play on each one, you won’t want to miss one.
…and just like that, a little sign of hope appears!
What perfect timing for the iris, we planted at the start of the year, to blossom. A lovely sign of hope, just when we need it most!

Well Year 4 - we have done a half-term of online learning! Incredible. Throughout it all, your love of learning has shone through. I know there have been some hard times for all - but when you work through challenges you become stronger, better and you have all done this. A really massive well done to you all. You need a good rest! After the holidays, I want to see the same amount of commitment. Keep going with those resilient little spirits of yours.
This week has seen us do so many different things. We have mummified, explained, divided, gobbled sweets, promised, pledged, replied, inferred, done Samba, disco and Pilates, quizzed, summarised, prayed, reflected and many more things! Wow!
Let’s Celebrate!
This week I have given three certificates out.
Abi and Steph have both received a Reflective learner certificate. Girls you are both such Lizzie Ladybirds because you always put a lot of effort into responding to my feedback and you act on any advice I give. This helps you to reflect more deeply and improve yourselves. Well done!
Jess has received the Enthusiastic learner certificate because she is such a Bobby Bee. It is so lovely to receive your work because time and love has gone into it - well done!
Reading Target!
This half-term , these children have met their reading targets: John-Joseph, James, Olivia, Asher, Lexi, Mason, Esme, Kai, India, Isabella,
These children have met their second reading targets! Jacob O, Lena, Amber and Max.
A massive well done to you all.
No notices this week - only to have a lovely rest in your week off but do curl up with a good book and keep your times tables ticking along with TTRRockstars!
Make sure you are rested and ready to learn on Monday 22nd February - when we will be kicking off with an exciting English competition!
You are all wonderful! God bless and take care,
Mrs Lyons, Mrs Mather and Miss Forster
“Rest and be thankful.” ― William Wordsworth Year 3 12th February 2021
Hooray!! We have made it to the end of this first part of this term and what a team effort it has been. Well done children, you have worked your socks off again this week and you definitely deserve a rest next week. Well done and thank you parents for all of your hard work and support—we really couldn’t have made it to the end of this half term without you. We really do appreciate all that you have been doing. You are doing an amazing job and deserve a well earned rest too. We hope that you will all be able to take some time to recharge your batteries.
What a busy week of learning we have had. Lots of grammar work in English this week and then we finished off today with descriptions of amazing confectionery for the Iron Man (a Library Service competition). More super multiplication in maths - the children have been really shining with their tables work and have been able to manipulate multiplication and division facts too. TT Rockstars is proving to be a great hit and the children are really enjoying practising their tables. If you have not tried this yet, don’t forget to follow the instructions for logging in that we posted on the remote learning page last week. Login details were sent via email. In science the children created branching data bases for sorting living things. This week we have also thought about Lent, which starts next week, and written our Lenten promises. Please do talk with your child about Lent and how they can grow to be closer to Jesus during this special time of the year. E safety day on Tuesday was a real success and the children were so engaged. We enjoyed a Zoom meeting, had fun with a Wooclap and also created some wonderful spoof websites with children turning orange because they were eating carrots, flying sharks and aliens who are invading the earth. Great work everyone. You are little stars shining brightly and we are so proud of you all. We know that you will continue to shine next term too because you are really buzzing with enthusiasm. Keep up the good work everyone.
Let’s Celebrate:
Well there is lots to celebrate this week with all of the wonderful learning that has been happening. You are all working so hard children and we are so proud of you all. We love receiving all of your emails with photos and seeing what you have been up to on Purple Mash. This week we want to celebrate Rosa (again!) Christian and Nicola who have reached their reading targets. Well done children..
We are being very cheeky again this week and awarding 4 certificates!! (Well, we just couldn’t decide again!!) Certificates go to Nicola, Edi, Matilda and Alexander. Well done children you are all doing a fabulous job with your learning. Nicola gets a Concentrating Cooper Crab certificate for all of her amazing focus and hard work this week and over the last few weeks too. You are being a little super star. Well done Nicola. Edi gets a Bobby Bee certificate for being such an enthusiastic learner. You are working so hard Edi and you are having a wonderful go at everything. We are loving your focus and excitement about your learning. Matilda receives a Cooper Crab certificate because she is concentrating so hard and being a really focused learner. Well done Matilda, keep up the good work. Alexander gets a Cooper Crab certificate too because he is also being so focused on his work at the moment. You are being so busy, beavering away at all of your work Alexander and we are loving seeing all that you are doing, well done.
We hope that you enjoy all of the photos from this week’s learning.
Things to Note:
The next class Zoom meeting is on Wednesday 24th February at 9:15am. Emails will be sent as we return to school. (Same details as previous meetings)
Parents, thank you for all of your support and co-operation this half term. We really do appreciate all that you have done to support the children with their learning and all of your lovely emails and comments. You are amazing. We hope that you all have a well earned rest next week. Hopefully we will be able to come back together as a whole class soon.
