Happy Christmas
Well done Blue Class for a great end of term. Your performances in Christmas Around the World were fantastic and, if your grown ups at home are able to watch it on the DVD or online, they will be equally as proud of you as the adults in school. You certainly led the way as Year 4s with great singing, dancing and narrating.
We’ve certainly shared a lot of exciting learning this half term including our Wonderful Words Celebration Day, solving dilemmas about libraries and exploring and discussing famous Christmas paintings. And what a lovely end to the term today with a brilliant panto, being crowned Christmas Wake 'n' Shake champions and fun party games! You've all been stars and have made it really enjoyable for the adults too.
We hope you all have a lovely Christmas and enjoy having fun and lots of rest with your family. Thank you so much for the very kind gifts and messages. It is very kind and generous of you.
Only eight more sleeps to go so keep being patient and keep safe.
Love from Miss Townsend, Miss Kuriger, Miss Burgess and Miss Bailey xxx

Happy Half Term
Hello Blue Class,
We hope you are enjoying the half term break, having fun and lots of rest after a hardworking first half term in Blue Class. What a great half term it was with lots of excellent learning, a fascinating trip to Chedworth Roman Villa, scarecrow making and brilliant story sacks you created for our Yellow Class friends. Well done to all of you.
When we return to school on Monday, we start a new topic all about Roald Dahl. I wonder which of his stories will be waiting for us, wrapped up for us to open. We all enjoyed Billy and the Minpins so another Roald Dahl story to share and compare will be a treat. Be ready on Monday to do some good thinking and problem solving as we will start off the topic by working on another dilemma based on our new book.
It has been good to see so many of you continuing to work hard at home with daily reading and times table practice. It helps you make great progress. Our new library book box has been a big hit so don't forget to bring any finished books back to school next week so you can choose a new one. We will be revisiting the 3 times table over the next couple of weeks so have a little practice if you can before you come back to school to help develop your fluency and accuracy. If you think you already know the 3 times table by heart, then for an extra challenge practise recalling the corresponding division facts or use your place value knowledge to try calculations such as 30 x 8 and 300 x 9.
Enjoy the rest of the holiday and we look forward to seeing you on Monday with your P.E kit, warm socks ready for when you go to Forest School and big smiles.

Thank you and Happy Holidays
Hello everyone,
We've had an enjoyable final week with our lovely Year 4s and it was so nice to be able to chat with you on the playground after school. We hope you enjoy sharing some of the wonderful memories the children have brought home with them this week. The Leavers' DVD and Year Book will be something to treasure for years to come.
The children have been a delight to teach with their hardworking, enthusiastic and friendly nature and we will miss them very much. Please do pop in and see us and let us know how everyone is getting on.
Thank you so much for your generous gifts and kind words. We hope you have a good summer break and we'll look forward to seeing some of you at our holiday club.
Many thanks once again,
from Miss Townsend, Miss Kuriger, Mrs Marks and Miss Burgess x

Happy Holidays
Hello Children,
Well done for another hardworking half term which has included lots of busy learning. We are very proud of your enthusiasm and efforts towards our project and it was wonderful to be able to send off the money you raised to Save the Children this afternoon. You will make lots of children in Zambia very happy when they receive your gifts including reading books, art and music resources and lots more.
It's time for a good rest now and some family time. We are looking forward to next half term where we will enjoy two new exciting topics - A World of Fantasy and Deep in the Jungle. Keep reading during the week (you might find an exciting book to borrow in our new community library) and every now and then spend some time practising your times tables ready for special quizzes soon after we return to school.
Have fun and stay safe.
