Hello
Hope you are all doing well.
I have placed some new content onto Education City. I notice that a few of you have had a go already, but have only tried the maths.
Don't forget that there are some English activities too.
This content will expire on Friday. I will keep a list of children who complete all six activities. There will be some kind of prize when we return to school for those of you who have a go at everything.
Have you spent too much time staring at a screen? Well now it's time to get busy. Have a go at some of the activities on this site: https://www.norwichssp.co.uk/pe-home-learning/

Weekly News 12th March 2020
This week, we had a very special visitor. Tim from the Norfolk Music Service came to year 4 to teach us how to become Japanese Taiko drummers. The children learned a variety of spectacular drumming patterns and created a performance for the rest of the school. If you wish to see a recording of the performance, we will be showing it at our year group assembly on the 23rd March.
Don't forget that our musical journey continues on the 18th March, when we will be singing at Norwich Cathedral after school.
In science, we are - of course - looking at sound. We have conducted noise surveys around the school and recorded our results as bar charts. We have learned that the loudness of a sound is set by the size of the vibration that makes it.
In English, we are continuing to read a book set in Cornwall, a story of life seen through the eyes of a cat. The children have enjoyed thinking about figurative language, similes and metaphors.
In maths we have started to learn about decimal fractions. Can you help your child to see examples of them in day to day life?

Audition reminder
Just a reminder to those children who wish to play an instrument (or sing a song) in our year group assembly. We will be holding 'auditions' on Tuesday afternoon (10th March). Please remember to bring in your instrument.

Weekly News 27th February 2020
This week, we started our topic of 'Playlist' by looking at the sounds and science of panpipes. We then made our own and composed tunes to perform for the other children.
On the subject of performance, we are still hoping that more children will be able to come to our singing performance at Norwich Cathedral on 18th March. We are exploring whether we would be able to provide some transport there with the parents picking up at the end - Could you please contact us if you think that this would make a difference to your child coming. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to sing on a fantastic performance stage, so it would be a shame to miss out!
Your child may have told you that, for our class assembly on 23rd March, we are hoping to stage a concert of the children playing their various instruments. If your child wishes to play a piece, they can bring it into school to practice at lunchtimes over the next couple of weeks.

Weekly News 13.02.20
Hi, we've had a very productive final week before half term. It's been great to finally find out how our class book ends!! It finished with such a good and unexpected twist. This week the children have written diary entries (for Arthur-the main character) and poetry. They also wrote brilliant book reviews. This has been a great book, both classes have loved it and some brilliant writing has come out of enjoying it together.
In Maths, this week, we have continued to work on fractions; introducing the concepts of Improper fractions and Mixed number fractions. We have been trying to draw the calculations or use concrete and visual resources as much as possible, as this really helps with their understanding. Will be returning to this topic again.
In R.E. this week we looked at Sikhism. We learnt about when the religion was founded and about the main beliefs. We also found out about the 5K's- items or symbols a Sikh wears.
Topic was great this week; making all different types of mountains using paper and cardboard etc.
All of Key Stage 2 will be doing their 66 times tables and Red Spelling word test this week.
Have a lovely Half Term.
