Fit 4 Life Sessions

Over the past few weeks, Fit 4 Life have joined year 4 every Monday afternoon to share information about hoke to stay fit and healthy. The children have enjoyed learning lots of new games to play outside, as well as learning about the foods we eat and how to read the labels. During the last sessions, the children tasted different foods and created their own healthy snack.  Next Monday we will be giving s presentation to any adults who can come and support us - Monday 22nd June at 2:30pm!

Conwy - low ropes

All of the children took part in the low ropes class. Everyone helped each other and ended by seining across the big rope swing into the cargo net. Even Mr Bullen had a go!! High ropes next...

Conwy - A big thank you!!

All of year 3 and 4 want to say a big thank you to all the staff who came and helped on their residential. Thank you to the Conwy Centre staff for teaching us and keeping us safe. Thank you to Mrs Webb, Mr Grinyer, Mrs Taylor, Mrs Bond and Miss Barlow for all your hard work and super effort. The children had a great time and enjoyed themselves. 

Conwy - High ropes!

IWow!! They were high!!  Again, ALL the children made a supe effort and made it up to the start of the high ropes. Most children went across the lower beam (still about 4 metres from the floor) and nearly half the group went to the higher beam (approx 15 metres high!). The photos below show a child walking across the beam - bare in mind the top of the ladder on the left is 3 metres off the floor!!  The children climbed the ladder and then up the rungs on the tree!!  Well done everyone...

Conwy - Time for the high ropes!!

Year 4 are now kitting up with harnesses to go and use the high ropes. Everyone is looking forward to trying some new equipment. 

Conwy Residential - Day 3

After a good nights sleep and a hearty breakfast, year 4 headed out to the low ropes and high ropes. The challenge for the children was to move AS A TEAM around the course! All the children completed the course and again, worked well as a group. 

Conwy Residential - Day 2

After a brilliant time abseiling, the children had some lunch and set up camp. We undertook some bushcraft activities and lit a campfire. The children also practiced using a strike and rod to create some small sparks. To round the session off we are some toasted marshmallows round the campfire.

Conwy Residential - Day 2

Wow!! What a super day. The sun shone and everyone had a great time!  Year 4 worked really hard and enjoyed a canoe down the Menai. They worked so hard and worked so well as a team that they managed to get an abseil in during lunch!  ALL of the year 4 children walked to the top of the tower and ALL of the children abseiled down!!  Well done to everyone!! More pics to follow...

Conwy Residential - Day 1

Later in the evening, Year 3 & 4 took part in the Nightline. They worked well as a team and helped each other through an obstacle course whilst being blindfolded!! They gave instructions to each other and got a little muddy!! Well done to all who competed it!!

Conwy Residential Day 1

Year 4 arrived safely at The Conwy Centre. After an induction we headed out to the forest for some zip wire and low ropes fun. All the children did really well and enjoyed going down the high zip wire. 

After pretending to be Tarzan, the children worked well as a team to overcome some tricky obstacles on the low ropes. Dinner then the nightline next...

Art Workshop

Year 4 enjoyed an art workshop from a visiting artist. During the day, Year 4 made lots of different items ready for a St George's Day parade in Chester on the 23rd April. Wolverham will be joining lots of other schools from Cheshire West and Chester to celebrate the day and learn even more facts!

Music Concert

Wow!! What a super music concert. Well done to Year 4 and 5 for performing. I was very impressed and think you all did a fab job. Make sure you keep up the hard work and practice. Thank you too to all of the parents and family who came to support us. It was great to see so many of you there. 

Music Concert - Thursday

Year 4 and Year 5 would like to invite their parents and carers to a music concert this Thursday at 2:30pm in the school hall. The children have been practicing for a few weeks and would love to show you their violin and cello skills. Look forward to seeing you!

Rhema Theatre visit

Year 4 enjoyed a workshop with Rheama Theatre. They took part in the whole school assembly and then benefitted from specialist teaching to help them learn about the Easter story. The children were very engaged and offered some brilliant acting. Well done! The work is going to be used in RE next week with Mrs Clements. 

Vent Diagram sorting in topic lesson

Year 4 have been looking at Europe as their topic. They have been comparing capital cities of different countries. The children sorted facts into a Venn Diagram to show if the fact linked to one or both cities. 

Fab work based on The Day The Crayons Quit

As a whole school, we have been looking at a book called The Day The Crayons Quit.  The children then wrote some persuasive letters, pretending to be Duncan and trying to persuade the crayons to come back to work!  See the pictures below for some super examples of what the children in year 4 produced.  Keep up the hard work team!

The Return of The Iron Man

Wow!! Year 4 have been working really hard in our art and DT lessons and have used junk modelling to create our own Iron Man. The iron giant also has quotes from the text stuck over him. Well done team!

Fantastic newspaper introductions

Well done to all in Year 4!  I am really impressed with your newspaper introductions and I think that you have all included information on the 5ws that we spoke about.  You have also all worked hard on 'hooking' the reader.  Next up is gathering quotes!

The Return of The Iron Man...

The Iron Man has returned.

And his right foot, his enormous iron right foot, lifted - up, out into space, and the Iron Man stepped forward, off the cliff, into nothingness.

CRRRAAAASSSSSSH!

Down the cliff the Iron Man came toppling, head over heels.

CRASH!

CRASH!

CRASH!

From rock to rock, snag to snag, tumbling slowly. And as he crashed and crashed and crashed.

His iron legs fell off.

His iron arms broke off, and the hands broke off the arms.

His great iron ears fell off and his eyes fell out.

His great iron head fell off.

All the separate pieces tumbled, scattered, crashing, bumping, clanging, down on to the rocky beach far below.

A few rocks tumbled with him.

Then

Silence. 

(The Iron Man, Ted Hughes)

World Book Day

Throughout the day, Year 4 learnt lots of new facts about different books. The children enjoyed sharing their books with each other and also wrote some super book reviews.  Keep up the super reading and don't forget to get a parent to sign your book for The Great Wolverham Reading Challenge! 

Zoo Lab

Year 4 enjoyed a visit from Zoo Lab. They came to school with lots of animals and taught us about habitats. Year 4 were able to hold a cockroach, snake, gerbil and a giant African land snail!  They also were able to see a tarantula, although this was left in the box for health and safety!

Stars of the week!

Well done to James and Tyler for getting this week's stars of the week. I have been really impressed with all of your hard work and trying hard to present your work neatly.
