We had a very colourful assembly today. Lots of people dressed up in their Christmas jumpers  and their santa hats. One pupil in 4th class won the very first GOLD  CERTIFICATE  in the school !  WELL DONE 4th CLASS !

After assembly we had a very special visitor to the classroom – the man in red himself , Santa ! We said our Santa poem for him. He seemed happy to hear it. He left us a box of sweets to share and we promised to be very good  . Thank you Santa !

 

Today we had the final practice for the Carol Service , which we will perform tonight.Everyone was busy decorating the church. It looks lovely now and we can’t wait for tonight…  here is our video.

Today we had the class draughts finals. Leah played Archie and Liam played Simon. Both games were very exciting and play was of a very high standard.  Leah and Archie really battled  in their game. In the end Simon won against Liam  in 4th class and Archie won against Leah in 3rd class. After the games we had the presentation of prizes and everyone  got a lovely chocolate Santa for taking part.We also presented the winners with gold coins and the runners up with silver coins. We can’t wait for the next competition !  Well done to  Archie and Simon  – the draughts champions!

In Science class this week we experimented with friction or lack of friction ! We all completed the tablecloth trick and did very well. We used tins, plastic bottles , large potatoes and spoons so nothing would get broken if it went wrong. Some of us managed to pull the cloth and leave the bottle standing . We tested different weights by using a large and small spoon. The final challenge was to pull the cloth from under everything. We all managed to do it. Archie, Ben and Dylan pulled the cloth  and nothing moved – well done lads.  We learned that the faster pull means less friction and the cloth moves smoothly from under everything and nothing falls.

For PE this month we will be learning some folk dances. We have already learned The Circle Dance and The German Clap Dance.First we learned the steps and movements with our partners in a line and then in a circle. It was great fun !  When we danced to the music  we moved very fast and we got better the more we practiced.  Dancing is great fun and very good exercise – we were all puffing after the lesson ! Here is a short video of us in action …….
