It has been another varied week in Class 4 with great learning in different areas of the curriculum this week.  We have become super reporters this week through our learning on writing news reports.  We had to work as a team to report on the true story of 3 men becoming stranded on a Pacific Island.  We are now transferring these skills to write our own news report about a young girl who was found on an island which links to our Michael Morpurgo story' Listen to the moon'.  We are all desperate to read on and at the moment are very intrigued about how Lucy Lost became stranded on the island.   How do you think she got there? Do add your thoughts in the comments below. 

We have made the most of the start of the great weather by using the outdoor space to: help us use our knowledge of the 8 compass points to help us follow a route in orienteering, develop our throwing skills in athletics and also to provide us all with a space to compose call and response rhythms using the djembe drums.  We are all keeping our fingers crossed that this good weather remains for our trips to the woods on Thursday and Friday. 

Homework will be coming home tomorrow with children in books but here it is too. 

Creative Task: Report on something exciting that has happened in your life or about something that is important to you.

Apologies for no photos - they are all saved on the computer at school, but I shall make up for it at the end of the week with lots and lots from our bushcraft days in the woods!  

I hope you have had a lovely weekend in the sun, please remember hats to be in school as we do like to be out making the most of the good weather when we can. 

See you tomorrow,
Mrs McMillan
