This week the children have been busy as usual with a wide variety of activities going on throughout the week. I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of the children who recorded their poetry performances and sent them to me this week. What super creativity and hard work you all showed!
You really made me smile every time I watched them. Thank you!
The Prince and The Pauper:
During our English sessions this week the children have been following the story of The Prince and The Pauper, to look at how historical settings are created in literature. The children have begun to look at the feelings of each of the main characters when they swapped roles and will be following this up with a diary extract written from the character's point of view next week. We had some interesting discussions about the feelings and experiences of the characters and so I am expecting to see great things from 4F next week!
Music Performances:
This week, our usual Music lesson was moved to Thursday and the children were asked to perform a piece for the rest of the class. We had singing, piano playing, recorders ukulele and an oboe. I had the privilege of watching these performance and was blown away by their talent! Lots of the children had clearly practiced very hard at home. What a talented bunch we are!

Investigators:
As a follow on to last week's 'Milk Magicians' experiment the children repeated the experiment, changing one variable to in order to investigate the impact of their changes. We made predictions and drew conclusions from our observations. Here are some of the results...
To look forward to...
I am sure that you do not need a reminder but just to 'jog' your memories, 4F will be visiting the Madinat Theatre on Monday 25th May to see what promises to be a fantastic version of 'George's Marvellous Medicine'. We are really looking forward to the trip!
Finally my star of the week:
I have to say that this week I was an incredibly proud teacher sitting in our JPS staff room when our French teacher came in especially to see me and say just how wonderful 4F have been! For that, I have to congratulate the whole class, you are all my stars this week! Well done!
