Year 4 EM

An exciting afternoon fell upon the children R-Y6 yesterday as they were treated to a live pantomime performance of Robin Hood from M&M Productions.

It was a lively affair full of laughter, singing, and some questionable dance moves but everyone had a fantastic time…oh yes we did!

Below are some pictures of the performance to share with people at home.

Hello,

Year 4 are really enjoying their swimming lessons and it’s great to see them making so much progress.

If you or your child is interested in swimming lessons, Ken at Brinkburn CIO (where the children currently swim) is happy to take on new students.

This is the Brinkburn website: http://brinkburncio.co.uk/.

I believe students from Toner also recieve a discount for lessons.

Hope this helps those who are interested!

4EM spent some time today looking at the importance of remembrance in the context of Remembrance Day. We observed a respectful minute’s silence at 11:00 where we thought about the sacrifice many have made for our country.

This afternoon we talked about why we wear poppies during Remembrance and where this tradition originated. We looked at John McCrae’s poem In Flanders Fields.

We then used our knowledge to write our own Remembrance Day acrostic poems. The children came up with beautiful, thoughtful ideas which I am proud to share some of on our class page.

Keep up the good work 4EM!

Today Years 4 and 6 visited Vue Cinema in Gateshead as a special treat to see a screening of the film Bumblebee. The children had a fantastic time in the Imax screen.

We had a fantastic morning and were all blown away by the action-packed extravaganza. We then spent the afternoon writing our own reviews of the film. Here are some highlights:

Archie

“I would recommend this film to children age 8 or over because this movie is sad to watch in some parts and scary in others. My rating would be 4.5/5 for this film.”

Addison

“Bumblebee is a robot from a distant planet and he came to Earth to save all the people. Dylan O’Brien plays Bumblebee and Hailee Steinfeld plays Charlie, a human girl who saves Bumblebee and helps him to survive.”

Luke

“The title of the movie is Bumblebee and it was directed by Travis Knight. Hailee Steinfeld plays the main character in the movie called Charlie, who encounters B127 (or Bumblebee), who is a robot from the planed Cybertron. Cybertron has been taken over by the Decepticons.”

Well done to all of Year 4 and 6 who were a credit to the school on their trip.

See you all next week!

It maybe the end of the first half term but for me, it’s the start of something very exciting.

Some of you may have heard stories from your children about a new face in their classroom – me! After the October half term holidays, Year 4 will be split into two Year 4 classes (4LT and 4EM).

I’ve been spending some time in school before the holidays in order to get to know this lovely, brand-new building and the fantastic students and staff it houses. Everyone has been so welcoming and I’m so excited to start properly after half term.

Make sure to visit our class page regularly in order to keep up to date with the exciting activities in our class!
