Topic
“It was great fun going to the museum!”
“I liked making the solar-powered cars.”
These are just a couple of the positive comments from the Year Fours about our last topic, ‘All Aboard’.
We have kick-started this year with a mini-topic on South Africa. The children have already used the atlases to locate South Africa and its surrounding countries. The African animal art work has really brightened up our classroom too!
Our main topic this term is ‘To Infinity and Beyond!’ As we will learn all about space, this topic is mostly science-based. However, there will be links with some other subjects such as literacy, DT and ICT.
Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas break! Parents’ evening will be held at the end of the half term but in the meantime if you have anything you need to discuss, please feel free to come and see me.

What are the most important features of a family car?
In a topic lesson this half-term the class had to sort nine features of a family car by deciding which were the most important to which were the least important. We then repeated the activity, but this time we sorted the same features for a rally car. This led to a really interesting debate about the importance of the various features!
Tackling cyber-bullying
In literacy this half-term, the class have been finding out about cyber-bullying. They then wrote a report about what cyber-bullying is and how you can limit the chances of being cyber-bullied.
Born In A Barn
Who was born in the barn one cold and wintry evening? If you come and see our Christmas performance on Tuesday 14 or Wednesday 15 December then you’ll find out. It’s not too late to get your tickets! Come and listen to the singing donkey, various sheep and cows, a wise owl and a very noisy cockerel. Looking forward to seeing you.
Join in our celebrations!

Swimming videos
Even though the Year 5 swimming sessions have finished for this term, there are some great video clips on this website (http://www.swimming.org/swimfit/) to help with developing and/or improving technique for the different swimming strokes.
Take a look and try them out if you go swimming during the holiday.
