Gosh Class 4, we have had such a busy two weeks, so busy I ran out of time to actually write a blog post last week!!!
What with World Book Day, Jar making, swimming, the excitement of the Secrets of the Sun king, researching Tutankhamun, making Egyptian death masks, sound experiments in science and planning a school trip – it really has been none stop!!
So, next week looks just as busy…it’s Science Week!
Mrs Platten has spent lots of time planning a fun week for us and we can’t wait to get started…in fact we were lucky enough to get an early start to the fun on Friday afternoon. The year 5s joined in an interactive science session and the year 4’s researched STEM careers – we were surprised to see so many jobs linked to Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
Homework
One of the activities we are going to carry out next week is making a wind turbine. Please bring in any materials that you think will be useful, due to our busy week (swimming and school trip) we will need to be ready with our ideas on Tuesday and finish them on Friday!! Can you make any ideas or prototypes at home?
School Trip – I hope everyone is excited for our trip on Thursday, we are very lucky to be getting a sneak preview of the display – it hasn’t even opened to the public yet! I hope we will find out lots more about Ancient Egypt – it has clearly been a topic that we have all loved! Please remember school uniform and a small rucksack to carry your packed lunch in. I am looking forward to a great day!
Final message – Please bring your balloon powered car, if you have made one, into school on Friday and we will test them to find a winner!
