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
Happy Birthday Queen Elizabeth! , by Miss Hughes
Date: 13th May 2016 @ 4:43pm
As the Queen's official birthday celebrations took place today, we have been focusing on all things royal this week!
In literacy, we have been reading The Queen’s Hat and The Queen’s Handbag By Steve Antony! Can you believe a sneaky swan stole her handbag and took it to different landmarks around the UK?
In geography, we have been looking at and researching a variety of landmarks around the UK and in music we have been learning the British national anthem! We recorded ourselves singing it this morning and we are sending it to Queen Elizabeth to wish her a very Happy 90th Birthday!
Today, we have had a fun filled morning of Queen Elizabeth || inspired activities including: creating a mosaic, a treasure hunt, creating crowns, biscuit making, using Morpho app on the iPads to create Queen's speeches, coin making, plus lots more!
We took lots of photos and videos so watch this space!
Have a fab weekend everyone x

Bertie and Jessica did a wonderful job at presenting information to Queen's Park Governors.
They talked about their new role and gave governors an insight as to what's being going on in each year group over the last half term.
They have now been set tasks by governors which they must present information about at the next meeting in October.
Well done Bertie and Jessica! You were confident, articulate and extremely polite - as always!
