Our new school show!



This year's school show has been decided! It is a brilliant show to perform as it is purely singing the whole way through but that means we have a lot of words to learn!


Every class has been given a song to learn so with 10 weeks left we better get started!


We will be singing 'Close every door' and you can sing along with the video link provided.

Welcome Back it's 2009




Welcome back 4C and friends. It's 2009 and we have a lot of great topics to look forward to this term. Here are just some of the exciting things we are going to explore and learn about over the next few weeks.

History - The Aztecs! Who were they, where did they come from, what did they do and what ever happened to them? Check this. And this.

Science - Solids, Liquids and Gases. We will do lots of experiments to explore each and we will also look at easy experiments we can do at home. Check this out. And this.

ICT - Using a database. What is a database? Are they useful? What can we use them for?

We will also be continuing Maths and Literacy. In Literacy we will look at poetry again and various types of writing that we can use in our own written work.

So sit back, open your minds, get your pens ready and let's get started with Term 2 :)

Boxing Day

Merry Christmas once again. I hope you all enjoyed Christmas day. I certainly did. I was with my family and we had a lovely dinner and gave each other presents and had a great time.
Today is Boxing Day, also known as Saint Stephen's Day.

So where did the name Boxing Day come from.?
Choose which answer you think is correct and post your answer in the comments. I will let you know who gets the answer right.


Why is today also known as Boxing Day?

a) It is a day when we collect all the empty present boxes and put them in the bin.
b) It is a day we make boxes.
c) It is a day when we go to watch a boxing match.
d) It was a day when people would open the Christmas Box which was used to collect money for the poor. The money would then be given to the poor.

If you need help you can always check this site for a clue.

Happy Boxing Day.

Well done Maria H on working it out :) I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas.
