Red Nose Day

This Red Nose Day in Eagle we all had fun dressing up in red. At break time to we had a cake sale to raise money for charity. It was a success! We raised £148! Some people did a bounce of the highest score was 50 jumps in 20 seconds. Back to the cake stall, all of the cakes came from hard working children (Oh, don't forget the adults). As it's Red Nose Day you can expect that some of the children came in wearing a red nose but this caused a lot of disruption in classes. To the year fives,in literacy they made Red Nose Day posters to encourage people to buy red noses. Some people were so exited that they just had to paint their hair red! In the playground the other teachers froze to death wearing short sleeved red T-shirts. The main talking point was dragged away from Red Nose Day to football teams as lots wore red football shirts.

Science

Today we decided to investigate whether more layers does in fact help insulate. We decided to test this by using pots of hot water and keeping them warm with different amounts of layers of a material.

We had a few difficulties with our investigation, including multiple knocked over pots of water and some problems with thermometers appearing not to work, but we did learn some good investigative skills and put into practice our team working skills!

World Book Day

On Friday 8th March, we celebrated World Book Day. The children dressed up as favourite book characters and they all looked amazing. We had book related activities all morning including swapping teachers and paired reading with younger children.

Here are some photos of our day!

Mr Cook came to read with Year 4s

Miss Chadwick went to read with Falcon

Then in the afternoon it was our Mother's share afternoon. Thank you to all Mums, Aunties, Grans and Carers who were able to come in to see us this afternoon.

NSPCC sponsored event

On Tuesday Val from The NSPCC came back to lead our keep fit session. All the children took part enthusiastically and are busily collecting sponsorship money. Money and sponsorship forms should be back in school next Tuesday (12th) when Val will be back to say thank you for all the money we have raised.

Week 1

This week has been a busy week. We have enjoyed learning about Japan, particularly a visit from Mrs Daly's brother Don. He told us all about life in Japan and we asked lots of interesting questions, including what are the toilets like in Japan and about the shops and games!

In literacy year 4 have written haikus to describe cherry blossom and waterfalls.

In art we have started looking at the art work of Hokusai, studying closely his works of waterfalls, Mount Fuji and waves.


A reminder also that next Friday afternoon is our Mothers' day share afternoon from 2pm.
