The Queen's Hat, by Miss Hope

Date: 17th May 2016 @ 7:52pm

In Q2 we have been reading The Queen's Hat by Steve Antony.

We have written recounts of the story, pretending we were the hat. We wrote some super stories with adverbs, time connectives, proper nouns and included details we had learnt on our special bus trip round London. 

We have changed our book corner into London Town, complete with Big Ben, Tower Bridge and lots of soldiers. We've even got a huge hat soaring through the clouds. 

We spent Friday doing lots of art work to transform our book corner.  

We think it looks fantastic now.

Queen's Birthday Inspire Day, by Mr Warner

Date: 14th May 2016 @ 5:34pm

Firstly,

 I would like to take this opportunity to thank the parents from P4 who turned up in force to see your children taking part in a range of activities. The children were mixe with the other Year 4 class and Year 3 classes and placed into groups named after the Royal houses and palaces. Activities ranged from art based tasks, such as a big art piece, decorating a mosaic of the Queen's head on a large stamp, to making a moving image of the Queen and adding a voiceover ton perform a Queen's speech. The parents came to see the final few activities in the carousel. Then stayed to see the feedback from the children. It was lovely to see so many parents and we are very grateful for your continued support. 

Thanks again

Mr Warner
