Pirates!
Ahoy, me hearties! Shiver me timbers, thar be an action-packed final term awaiting ye scallywags of Year 3 and 4 this term.
To get into the spirit of the topic, every child will be able to choose their own pirate moniker (nickname). During the topic…
- we’re going to build life rafts and test their effectiveness
- we’re going to research real pirates from the past and present as well as some mythical pirates
- there’s going to be lots of drama this term as we unravel history in exciting and fun ways!
- we’ll be looking at the pirates’ grub, and whether their diet matches that of a healthy child at Moortown
- last, but not least, there will be (of course) a treasure hunt – but non’ like ye’ve ever done before!
Fair winds, matey!
Easter Excitement!
Thanks to everyone who entered the Easter cake competition. There were some fantastic entries and it was great to see that the children had done lots of the hard work. It was “eggstremely” hard to decide on the winners but we got there in the end.
Here are the winners…
Thank you for supporting your children in the competition and also thanks to everyone who helped at the bun sale and to those of you who spent lots of money!
Have a great holiday. See you on Monday 16 April.
Fun fractions resource
Click on the link below to be directed to an interactive resource which will aid your child’s maths learning this week. If you have any problems loading the game below, you can access the same game on the BBC maths site for KS2.
There is also a quiz which your child can have a go at.
A very unique zoo
Year 4 were able to meet some fantastic animals – some that they may never see or touch again!
We were able to hold a corn snake.
Nayana fed a sugar glider a live insect. Everyone was able to have a touch.
Jaspreet commented, “They were brilliant!” while Zaki stated proudly, “I saw animals that I didn’t even know!”
The Enormous Crocodile
As part of World Book Day last week, we discovered the world of Roald Dahl’s Enormous Crocodile. We hot-seated the croc, and asked him some challenging questions about his need to eat small children. He didn’t take too well to some of the questions as you can see below.
We also tried to get inside the mind of the crocodile and we expressed his thoughts as he crawled down our conscience alley.
Free swimming lessons!
We have a free block of five swimming lessons to give away to a lucky child in Year 4 to the value of £45!
If you’re interested, please drop in to the office before the end of the week. In the event that we get lots of children who would like the lessons, we’ll put names into a hat. If you have any questions, please come and speak to me.
Hobby Half Day
On the last day of the half-term, children enjoyed another successful Hobby Half Day with all sorts of activities going on! From i-jamming on iPads to fitness circuits, all of the children had a very busy afternoon. All ages of children were working together and learning from each other and every classroom was a hive of activity. Here are just a few photos to show you what was going on.
