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.
Bones are us!

Chickwatch 2012
We now have nine little chicks! Three to go (hopefully). Most of the chicks are now out of the incubator and in the brooder box.

New Residents
Here are the first chicks to hatch in the incubator. There are currently nine chicks that have hatched.
Feel free to come and have a look after school. They’d love to meet you! Be prepared to wash your hands though. We’ve already had a few accidents!
The eggs have hatched!
As we’re sure most of you are aware, Year 3 and 4 and have inherited some eggs this week. We have twelve eggs and so far five have hatched. They are being kept in a same place.
Chickwatch 2012
We now have five chicks that have hatched!
Two of the older chicks have now moved to the brooder box where they have a bit more space to move around. Fingers crossed, we will have a few more by tomorrow morning!
Eggciting times!
