Journalism and Newspaper Reports

Journalism in Class 4

 

This half term, Class 4 have been developing their skills at writing newspaper reports ensuring they have a headline, by line, orientation, main body and reorientation. Mrs Middleton contacted an old friend who works for the Times Newspaper and he agreed to send the children evolving stories to work on under pressure. For the last week, the children have worked very hard meeting deadlines to write reports, features and articles in their own journalistic teams to create a full newspaper - the results have been amazing. Well done everyone.

Collective Worship Summer Term - Friendship

Zoe, Willow, Oliver, Stanley, Sarah, Imy, Emilia and Matthew wrote a script to perform in our Collective Worship on the theme of Friendship. 

This half term we have been designing and building a garden room for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their three children. We rolled paper into tubes and connected them with nuts and bolts to make a framework. We then covered the framework so that it was eye-catching but also weather proof. Mrs Middleton and Mrs Ostle tested the structures to see if they were fit for purpose. Great fun was had by all.

In Science, we have been studying micro-organisms. Some bacteria are helpful and some are harmful, We have 'discovered' some new bacteria and recreated them in Petri dishes.

Leavers' Assembly 2020

After sharing memories from our Leavers' scrapbook, we had  a game of Kwik Cricket and refreshments to celebrate the Year 6s 'graduation' from primary school. It was lovely to be able to come together, have some fun and share memories before saying goodbye until new adventures begin in September. I wish all of you a wonderful summer break and a fantastic transition into your secondary school in September.x

Sports Relief - Skipping Workshop Day 11.3.2020

To raise money for Sports Relief, we took part in a skipping workshop on 11th March. We were taught basic skipping skills as well as tricks. Ross and Nathan demonstrated these in a whole school assembly at the end of the day. Several children and adults also had a skip with the long skipping rope - great fun!

Science - Discovering why some species evolve and others become extinct

On Monday 24th February, Class 4 enjoyed working with Lisa from the Lynx Theatre Company to perform a 'Play in a Day'. Firstly, they played various warm games across a circle to practise vocal skills and accentuate their actions. After playtime, the children started working on their play, 'It's Not Fair', based around the history of the Olympic Games. There was no script for them to refer to, they had to rely on their memory and concentration. Everyone had a part to play in the final production, which was performed to parents and class 3. A great day was had by all.

On Monday 9th December, Class 4 went to Dumfries Ice Rink for a morning of ice skating. In a very short space of time we were all skating like Torvill and Dean! A few bruises but a lot of fun was had by all.

Young Leaders

We have been learning about mountains in our geography topic this half term. We used potatoes to help us understand what contours for hills and mountains would like on an OS map. We also created colour contour collages to see what hills and mountains would look like on a physical topography map.

School Council Elections 26.9.2019

On Thursday 26th September, Class 4 held their school council elections. Boys and girls from Year 5 and 6 delivered their manifestos and took questions from the floor. Once this stage was complete, all the children had a secret vote, posting their votes in the ballot box. The votes were counted and I am delighted to announce that this year's school council reps are: Seth, Holly, Ross and Lily. Many congratulations to you all.
