Home Learning Week 5 Timetable - it is hard to believe that another week has passed! I have enjoyed the emails I have received this week.

Well done Kite class for all your hard work. Miss Chandler.
Home Learning Week 4 - what a great start to the week. I have received lots of eye-catching emails today full of dragons, potions and rainbows. What more could I want? Well, hopefully some more tomorrow!

We spent the afternoon colour mixing for our Roman mosaics!
Engineering Morning: What an exciting and interesting morning we have had! The children were engineers and had to design some inventions which would solve various problems which 'grumpy grown-ups' always complain about. The children's ideas were amazing. We had a speedy scooter, robots which could cook or clean for you, a supermarket app, a sun cream tablet, a word scanner, a helpful shopping trolley, a device to help the elderly remember things, a bag with extendable arms, a heated seat for your sofa, a device to help you wake up in the mornings and even an impressive drone car (to name but a few). I was blown away by the children's efforts today. Fingers crossed for when the results are released. We'll keep you posted on that! Special thanks to Mrs Gibson for taking the time to talk to us about her job as an engineer. It really was fascinating to listen to her and also lovely to watch her enthusiasm for her area of work. Thank you again!
Shadow Investigations: The children have been designing and carrying out their own investigations. They have been thinking of various questions about making shadows and these are a few pictures of them during their experiments.
A note from Mrs Mooney (just in case you didn't get a letter on Monday):
Parents/Carers,
In preparation for engineering morning next Tuesday, we are asking your child to come to school with an idea of a product they would like to invent and make. There are no rules for this and the best ideas always come from children as their imaginations are endless and have no practical limitations. If you could please encourage your child to come up with an idea of something to invent and draw a picture of it. The best ideas come from a problem, so the children have been asked to think of all the things that they observe or hear 'grumpy grown-ups' complaining about. Once they find a problem - can they think of an invention to solve the problem? It doesn't matter if you think it is not possible. The only things to avoid are things that already exist, so if your child comes up with something that already exists, can you encourage them to tweak their idea.
Thank you in advance.
Mrs Mooney.
Homework 07.02.20. Please find the homework attached. We would encourage the children to continue to revise the x7, x8 and x9 times tables again for this week. There are a couple of things to remember for the coming week: every child needs to bring in their reading book and purple reading record on Monday and it is engineering morning on Tuesday so ensure your child has an idea in mind ready!
Well done for those children who have finished their homework project. You have obviously been working hard at home to researching Roman landmarks. If you haven't done so already, please bring in your project! Thank you.

CHRISTMAS REMINDERS (VERSION 2)
Thank you for all the children who remembered their costumes today. For those who didn't, we have two performances tomorrow so we need your costume in then. It must be in a named plastic bag. Some children came in today without a bag and I'm afraid our collections of bags are now running out!
The Christmas Dinner has been rescheduled for Tuesday 17th December so now the Year 3 and Year 4 party will be happening on Monday 16th December. Please can you bring the food on the Monday instead. Thank you very much.
The pantomime is on Monday too so the children can wear their Christmas jumpers then.
Miss Chandler
Please remember to bring your costume in TOMORROW (Tuesday 10th December). Anything Christmassy will do! Your costume should be brought in a plastic bag with your name on it. Thank you.
Miss Chandler

The production is next week. The title of the production is called 'It's Chr-i-i-i-stmas!' so the children need to dress up in anything 'Christmassy' - jumpers, t-shirts, Santa hats, tinsel etc. The production is on Wednesday 11th and Thursday 12th December (1:45pm and 6pm performances.) Children to arrive at 5:30pm for the evening performances.
Please let me know if your child cannot make the evening performances.
Also, the children were sent home with a letter today about the Christmas party. This will take place on Tuesday 17th December. Kite class should be bringing in cake or biscuits. Remember to send the children in with something SMALL on the day of the party. No nuts in any item please!
Thank you for your continued support!

Please ensure that the children are practising x3, x4 and x5 times tables both MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION. We are revisiting these again this week because the scores were not as high as we had hoped. Well done though if you managed a high score this week!

Homework 11.10.19. The children have their spellings in their homework diaries already. They have been asked to complete x3, x4 and x5 times tables - multiplication AND division facts. Thank you!
SCIENCE INVESTIGATION: Today the children had a lot of fun making their own digestive systems using a banana, biscuits, a sandwich bag, orange juice, water and a pair of tights! The pictures are a little bit disgusting so you have been warned!
EGG INVESTIGATION: The children have been looking at the effects of tooth decay. We placed six eggs into six different drinks (water, milk, ribena, fanta orange, coca-cola and lemonade.) We then looked at the effects that the sugar within the drinks had on the eggs. The egg represents a tooth because the shell is the enamel, the white is the dentin and the yolk is the pulp. The children thought it would interest you to look at the results!
Ancient Egyptian Workshop
Our Ancient Egyptian Workshop is Friday 15th November! Please make sure that the children have a costume which they can come to school in. This could be a pharaoh, Cleopatra or an archaeologist. You still have plenty of time though so don't worry.
Also, a very kind parent of year 3 has emailed in to suggest an event which is happening at the British Museum. It is called 'Digital Workshop: Egyptian Photobooth.' It is taking place on Saturday 19th October from 11:00am - 4:00pm.
An added bonus, it is COMPLETELY FREE and you can just turn up!
Thank you to that parent for your suggestion.
Miss Chandler and Miss Dodd.
