This week in PSHE, Class 4 has been looking at what makes a good friend.
We looked at our best friends and discussed what we really like about them.
Some of the things that Class 4 likes about their friends are that they are,
- Good listeners
- Someone who is kind
- Someone who they can share things with
- Someone who makes them smile and be happy
- Someone who is honest
We are proud to say that Class 4 are very good friends with each other and we love the way they value their friendships.

See if you can guess which famous landmarks they have recreated below.

This week we have been learning all about the Vikings in History. The Viking age in European history was from about AD700 to 1100. During this period many Vikings left their homelands in Scandinavia and travelled by longboat to other countries, like Britain and Ireland.
We learnt that the people of Britain first saw the Viking longboats they came down to the shore to welcome them. However, the Vikings fought the local people, stealing from churches and burning buildings to the ground.
The people of Britain called the invaders 'Danes', but they came from Norway and Sweden as well as Denmark.
Class 9 have had a fantastic day on our Digital Lift Off. We have been amazed with how much information technology is part of our everyday lives. We learned that technology and communication has improved over time and we looked at and created time lines.

Today class 3 took part in our fantastic digital lift off day. The children came dressed in all of their favourite colours, and learnt all about digital technology and how we use it at home and in school.
We got to watch some brilliant videos of different professionals who use digital technology in their jobs on a daily basis. The children then got the chance to create a job profile of them, as well as taking part in lots of different activities relating to those jobs, creating their own games, avatars and even designing their own houses.

Over the Easter holidays the children were set two different projects one linked to last half terms topic on Inventors and Inventions and one linked to this half terms topic all about The Countryside.
Some children decided to look at the Inventors and Inventions project - they had to research an inventor and then create a model of something they had invented. They came back to school this week and presented their models to the class and explained what they had found out about this invention.
Some children decided to look at the Countryside project - they had to research what the countryside looks like and then create a scene in their own way to represent their findings. They shared their pictures/models with the peers and explained what the countryside looked like to them.
Below are some of the superb models and pictures the children created. A big thank you to the parents also for supporting their children with their home learning and engaging with these projects.

Wendel's Workshop - Our Own Retells
Date: 30th Mar 2021 @ 9:31pm
This week the children have enjoyed reading the story of Wendel's Workshop. They started the week by sequencing the events and creating a story mountain to record each part of the story. Next they explored the three main characters further through drama, they became Wendel, Wendelbot and Clunk and used facial expressions, body language and voices to bring the characters to life. Then they developed their own retell of the story and thought about the language they could used from the book, as well as their own vocabulary to enhance the events. Finally they edited the first draft themselves and wrote the final version using the improvements they had thought about.
