Super Science Week
Year 4 have been working very hard on their science experiments this week. We have been learning all about States of Matter. We have looked at the three states of matter ; solid, liquid and gas. We have looked at how heating and freezing can change the state of matter and how evaporation and condensation occurs .

Snow Day competition time!
Are your kids bored of playing in the snow? Why not try these fun activities for them to do while they're having a Snow day.
-
Create Snow Art
Bring some colour into the outdoor fun. Fill empty spray bottles or liquid dishwasher bottles with food colouring and water, then letting the kids unleash their inner winter wonderland artist! Kids can design rainbows, flowers or self-portraits or even add colour to snowmen.
-
Build a Living Room Campsite
Kids love when their parents flip normal household routines upside down. Creating a campsite in the living room is the perfect way to take them by surprise! Turn out the lights, wear PJs, bust out the sleeping bags and sit around telling stories. If you don't have a tent, be creative and build a fort using blankets, couch cushions and pillows.
-
Make Magazine Mosaics
-
Use old magazines in creative, artistic ways. Have kids cut out different colours from the pages into small squares. Next, sketch a design on a paper plate. Then use glue and a paint brush to make a colourful mosaic. You can make designs using different shades of one colour or lots of different colours.
-
Bake, Bake, Bake
If it's too cold to enjoy the snow outside, bring the fun into the kitchen. Make some yummy treats that everyone will enjoy. Oreo snowballs are the perfect treat to make with stir-crazy snowbound kids because there is no baking involved. They're also great for partnering with hot chocolate after a morning spent sledding.
-
Craft an Indoor Snowman
You don't always have to freeze outside to build a snowman -- be creative and make one using marshmallows. Outline a snowman on construction paper and trace glue around each circle. Place mini marshmallows onto the glue. Add details with other materials from around the house. Grab scraps of felt for his hat or yarn for his scarf and colour in his face with markers or dried food products. When he's dry, the kids can name and hang him up in the house. Don't have mini marshmallows? Use cotton balls for a fluffier snowman.
-
Whip up Snow Cones
-
After playing in the snow with the kids, gather up clean, freshly fallen snow and bring it inside. Divide it into cups and pour lemon juice and a little sugar or frozen juice concentrate over each and you and the kids can enjoy some scrumptious homemade snow cones.

Welcome to Mrs Oakes' Class
The children and I have settled really well into our new classroom. The entire class have had a very productive start to the year and I am very impressed with the way everyone has made a positive start to school routines. We have started to use a new cursive handwriting style this year and the children are working hard to implement this into their everyday writing.
We have had a great start to home reading this year, with many children reading at home on a regular basis. I have asked the children to take home their reading books and logs and bring them into school everyday so that I can monitor progress. I very much appreciate you taking the time to read with your child and making a short comment in their reading diary.
A reminder that on Fridays , the children have swimming and P.E in the mornings.
