On Saturday Mrs. Sale and Mrs. Woods took 4 of our children to the BAFTA Cinema to see the screening of the first 4 episodes of the Night Zookeeper.  They had a special invitation from the Night Zookeeper himself.  Two of our children had designed characters which appeared in Episode 2 and Episode 3. The characters were the Guardian of Green which was a panda and the Guardian of Yellow which was a Monkey.  Lindsey Russell (Presenter on Blue Peter) was the host.  The actors of the show came on stage and the children in the audience could ask them questions.  Our children were asked up on the stage for some fun activities and one of our children was also interviewed regarding his character.  All in all, it was a brilliant day

Year 4 have been designing and making their own Egyptian death mask.
The children started off designing their own in their sketch books. In groups they they decided on one design to follow and create. They used paper mache and other techniques to create their chosen design and finished it off with different coloured paint.

What I Did in Class (Maple)

In class today we had three assessments, one spelling assessment, a maths assessment and finally a SPAG test. I got a decent score and most of the people in my class scored above 15.

Our topic is currently Ancient Egypt and we are learning about the mummification process. The book we are reading in class is called The Time Traveling Cat and The Egyptian Goddess!

In guided reading we are thinking about recognising the different theme of a piece of writing. Some afternoons we do Egyptian Art and this includes using the water, paints drawing and many more!

Christmas Fun Day!

On Tuesday 11^th of December a plethora of children went to the Hansel and Gretel ballet. Meanwhile some children stayed in school. When we stayed in school we firstly played Kahoot! We played until 11 o’clock; the different Kahoots we did were: songs and Christmas ones. After, we practiced singing our Christmas songs. Then we had an activity day; we were put in groups and then we were sent off to do activities. The activities were: making paperchain reindeers and snowmen, just dance, decorating cookies, reefs and computing. Everyone had a lot of fun and enjoyed the activities.
