4O's Friday Morning Treat

This morning, a special parcel arrived in 4O. There were 29 letters inside all from Santa Claus. Thank you very much Santa, we loved our letters. 

Christmas Poem

Here is our Christmas poem. Make sure you practise your parts over the weekend please 🎄

Our new friend.

Today a beautiful butterfly was flying around our classroom after months of being asleep on the wall. The children were very excited to see it wake up and flap its orange wings.

Addresses

Please could your child bring in their address on a piece of paper ready to write to Santa. 

Techniquest

Today in 4O we went on a trip to Techniquest. 

We had a great time learning about Forces and investigating all the different exhibits. 

Well done for being really well behaved boys and girls. 

Our class flag

Here is our finished class flag! Thank you all for working so hard with the drawings and making it look lovely.  Keep an eye out for it in Caerphilly over Christmas. 

Pupils of the week

This weeks pupils of the week are Jacob Ball and Teigan Howells. A big, huge well done to them both! 

Children In Need

We had a brilliant day in 4O yesterday and had lots of fun dressing up in our pyjamas for a great cause. I was very impressed with your behaviour! 

Diolch yn fawr to Lucy for making us beautiful cakes and a thank you from me to Daniel for mine and Miss Coonick's yummy cakes. 

Have a lovely long weekend. Make sure everyone stays safe and completes their maths homework, healthy lunchbox/meal sheet and handwriting!

See you Wednesday,

Miss Owen and Monkey.

Congratulations to Olivia Evans and Cameron Jones for being 4O's pupils of the week. 

PE this week

Yesterday we had great fun in our PE lesson creating robotic dance sequences. We were brilliant at stretching by ourselves then mirroring our partners. At the end of the lesson, we evaluated other people's performances. Here's some pictures of the final performances. 

Our book presentations

Here's two pictures of Cameron and Ryan presenting their favourite books to us today. We loved learning all about the stories and I was especially pleased with the effort that went into preparing them. 

Da Iawn boys. 

I am looking forward to seeing even more presentations tomorrow! 

Miss Owen

Times tables!

If anyone fancies a challenge on your last 3 days off, why not practise your 3 and 4 times tables?Remember I want us to know them inside out by Christmas. 

This means saying them forward, backwards and picking any one at random!

Have a go and we will have a little competition on Monday!  

Miss Owen

Pupils of the week!

Here is the picture of last week's three pupils of the week! 

Well done to Lily Matthews, Ffion Postians and Iwan Jones! 

Half term

Hope you are all having a lovely half term and making the most of your time off. 

Remember to complete your handwriting sheets, doubling function machines using the method we learned in class and also to prepare a presentation based on a book you love! 

Enjoy yourselves and stay safe! 

I hope you all had a brilliant time at the pumpkin ball, I know I did! 

Remember to bring in your yellow spelling folders tomorrow and to practise your spellings ready for our test! 

Clibing Wall!

    

Today we made the most of our climbing wall slot and the dry weather! We enjoyed working in teams to complete the climbing wall. We discussed the techniques we needed to use.  

We had a great time! 

Miss Owen. 

Library visit

Today 4O went to visit the library. We all had great fun choosing books to take out and not even the rain could dampen our moods! 

Our art work

For our art work this term we are studying an artist called Paula Wilkes. Her art work is all about collaging and we have started to create our own collages. 

For our next lesson we need lots of materials to be brought in from home, these could be buttons, wrapping paper, wool or netting to name a few. We are aiming to have lots of different textures. 

Our work is only a4 so make sure the materials aren't massive! 

Thank you in advance for anything you are able to provide. 

Making numbers 10 times bigger

Today in Year 4 we were learning how to make different numbers 10 times bigger. We had lots of fun trying out numbers and seeing what happened to them. We learned that to make a number 10 times bigger we move the numbers one place to the left. 

Homework

Just a quick reminder to everyone that our homework is collected and sent out on two different days. 

The English homework (yellow folders) is sent out on a Monday and needs to be kept at home until Friday to practise your spellings! 

The maths homework (blue folders) is sent out on a Friday and needs to be in on a Monday. 

You can do your homework in blue pen but it must be just as neat as if you were working in your books! 

Have a lovely weekend.

See you Monday!
