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.

Mud Houses

4T enjoyed creating their own Vietnamese houses. These houses were inspired from the traditional houses found in the center of Vietnam. They are known for their mud, straw and bamboo construction as well as their low ceilings to keep the house cool in hot weather. 

Taking Charge Song

Please learn the words to the song below.

Taking charge is what we do,

Don't make your maids run after you,

Pack your bags with the things you need

Taking Charge is the message to heed

Take charge.........

Take charge

Take charge if you know what's good for you

        

Look around what do you see

Kids not thinking and being lazy,

Think about your attitude 

You'll receive some gratitude 

Take charge.........

Take charge

Take charge if you know what's good for you

When you go to the canteen 

Take charge go and choose your greens

Organize your self at school

You'll find your teachers will think you'recool

Take charge.........

Take charge

Take charge if you know what's good for you

Take charge make things possible 

Go and be responsible 

Now our song is nearly done 

Go take charge and then you've  won 

Take charge.........

Take charge

Take charge if you know what's good for you

Taking charge is what we do,                              Girls Split Take Charge 

Don't make your maids run after you,

Pack your bags with the things you need

Taking Charge is the message to heed                    

Take charge.........

Mot Thoang Vietnam

Mot Thoang Vietnam is cultural centre where people can learn all about the crafts and houses from the different regions in Vietnam. The children were interested to learn about the many different houses and were great at asking questions to our tour guide to find out more. The trip was a success and soon the children will be using their notes from the trip to create some information pages during their English and IPC lessons.

Messy but imaginative!

We have just started our new IPC topic of Habitats. A large portion of the topic will focus on different human habitats around the world. For and entry point the children had to work together as a team to create their own habitats in the classroom. As you can see from the photos the classroom was fantastically messy but it was great to see 4T working so well together and being creative.

Where In The World?

Our new IPC topic is Habitats. We will be learning all about different human habitats across those world. You will see a map below. Over the next few weeks we will be adding pins and links to our work. You can see that I have added some pins of where I have lived in the world. I would like to add pins for all of you too.
