Just For Hannah

Hi 4T,

I'm not sure how much time you have all spent on YouTube recently, but today I stumbled across a new channel called The Piano Guys. If you have not seen any of their videos yet,you have to check them out. They are very talented musicians and I was so impressed by how they have interpreted the One Direction song What Makes You Beautiful. It also made me think of Hannah and how she likes to find One Direction news for us all. They have tonnes of great videos. heck them out. I have put What Makes You Beautiful below for you all to see.

Christmas coffee - what have you been up to?

Hello Year 4. I have landed in my home town of Plymouth and my mother and I went Christmas shopping this morning. The best part of the day was a sit down in a lovely warm but small coffee shop that had a huge selection of chocolate cakes! Yes they were just as delicious as they looked. What have you been doing so far this holiday? Add a comment or write your own blog post to show us all.

Squash Champion!

As many of you know, I have been competing in squash tournament after school. Saturday was a tough day because I had my semi-final match and if I was successful I would have to play the final just a few hours later.

Well, on Saturday morning I met my opponent Hung and started to play. Hung was a hard player but luckily I managed to just scrape a win. I won three games and he won two so that put me through into the final.

The final wasn't as tough as the semi-final and I comfortably beat my opponent three games to nil. I will bring in my trophy to show you all tomorrow.

Eco Thoughts

As I write this it is Sunday evening and I'm thinking about everything that Year 4 may achieve next week. For some reason my mind has turned to BISCAT and our recent assembly. So often I concern myself with Maths and English and all of the 'work' that has to be completed and I forget about all the other equally important learning that happens at school.

In assembly on Friday Ms Guvinder reminded us all about BISCAT and, fortunately for Year 4, we have already made a fun start to our community project. Another fortunate thing for 4T is that Hidemasa was given his green Eco ribbon. This means that Hidemasa is going to help us all, especially me, to be Eco friendly. I know that I often leave the lights and AC on in the classroom even though there is no one in the room. I have also seen many 4T members drinking water and using lots of plastic cups too.

So as well as thinking about all the important work that has to be done next week, I'm also going to be an Eco warrior - just like Hidemasa. Will you? 

Another Busy Week

This week has been a super busy week and once again I'm so very proud of all that 4T have learned. So many of the children have really listened to the objectives of my lessons and tried to complete all their activities as best they can.

 The Big Write talk homework help on Wednesday really inspired the children to write some interesting and varied story settings. It was clear that so many children had been thinking hard about which adjectives and it was great to read so many settings that showed excellent examples of VCOP. 

I think my most favourite part of the week was Earth layer research and modeling. It was the first time in the three years that I have been teaching Year 4 that I had taught that activity and it was such great fun! I eagerly await the blog posts from everyone in 4T next week.
