Welcome Back Year 4

Welcome Back!

I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas Break and are looking forward to our new term! I would like to say a very big thank you for all the wonderful gifts I received (they were very tasty).

Our first week back has been a hands on/get involved week as we have been doing 'Big Art'. We got messy using Modroc and paint when recreating the crests of the Hogwarts houses. It was great fun and the children have learnt lots of news skills and learnt how to use new art materials. We also wanted to turn the classroom into the Great Hall so we have been doing D.T. The plan was to make lots of floating candles. The candles needed to be cheap, light weight and easy to hang up. The children were very inventive and came up with some impressive models.

This week, we also began to read the story. We were introduced to lots of new characters like the Dursleys and Hagrid. However, it was Albus Dumbledore that captured our imagination and we have written a character description of Dumbledore during Literacy.

I hope you are all as excited as I am about the topic and I cant wait for next week!
