So many events and celebrations in one week!

It seems to have been event after event this past week with so much going on.  Here is a snapshot from the Queen's Birthday Celebrations last Friday, Sports Day on Tuesday and Growth Mindset week.  

Queen's Birthday 90th Birthday
Team Challenge to research facts and make a timeline of key events in her lifetime.  

 A wonderful lunch with families

We were treated to excellent country dancing by Class 2 

We enjoyed designing and making celebration coins and stamps.  It was lovely to welcome Mums, Dads, Aunties, Grandparents and Little Brothers into our class for the afternoon. 

Sports Day
I was so proud of everybody for their efforts and team work on Sports Day.

Growth Mindset Week
It has been a great focus for our learning this week.  We have had challenges which have really tested our resilience and we have been setting ourselves personal challenges.  I have also set the children a personal challenge to try at home for their home learning (sorry it has not come home in books yet - it will do tomorrow!)  Do have a look at the Growth Mindset Blog for more detail about things that have been happening at break times and assembly times too.  

Trying to fathom the 'impossible fold.'

Fun challenges to try and master

More survival skills - learning to tie different knots

Alongside this, we have been learning about angles in Maths, starting to write biographies in English, learning about survival in extreme environments around the world in Geography and Play Rehearsals are well underway too! So, it is fair to say it has been an very busy buy incredibly enjoyable few days in school over the past week.  Here's to an enjoyable Friday and a restful weekend Class 4.
