Linked to our class book called A Walk in London, we have taken a tour around the school grounds and talked about all the fabulous experiences we have in school. We imagined that we were Mrs Porter and wrote tours of the school, which showed what accomplished authors we all are. To finish our tour, we wrote captions that describe what makes St Adrian’s school special to us. You are warmly welcomed to come and visit our class during Open Evening this Wednesday 28th June (4-5.30pm) to see all of the fabulous learning that we are so proud of.
We enjoyed dance from the 1950s to the 2000s on Tuesday

Lots and lots of experiences this week… First we played the paralympic game Boccia, and watched paralympic swimming. We talked about how anything is possible if you are not giving up and keep on trying:
As part of the music week we’ve participated in a Jazz workshop, practicing different beats and rhythms, thinking about how the music makes us feel. The children even listened to a real saxophone! How exciting!

Year 4 threw themselves into this week’s activities. They really enjoyed the wheelchair basketball/handball session on Monday, learning some new skills. On Tuesday we learnt some dance moves and on Wednesday had a very creative time playing percussion instruments and dancing to “jazz with Johnny”.
On Friday some children from year 4 attended the “World Games” at Oaklands College. We were part of the “Netherlands” team and did a great selection of sports and sporting activities. All the children showed great perseverance – really needed in the “slackrope” challenge! – and good sports skills. (Photos to follow).
We were sorry to miss “St Adrians Got Talent”, but have heard how fantastic the perfomers – Aiden & Jeremy and Sofia – from year 4 were. We also heard the other perfomers who auditioned, at lunchtime; and they were also excellent, putting a lot of preparation into their acts. Well done to everyone who participated.
Since before half term, the school council has been planning and preparing for this event. The members of the school council, designed and created posters to advertise the auditions, they gave up their lunch times for over a week to watch and judge all of the auditions.
Today, was the final and the judges took to their seats and watched each finalist very carefully before making their final decision.
On the 23rd of June, it was the day for the final and the school judges took to their seats and watched each finalist very carefully before making their final decision.

After many brilliant acts we had to announce the winner. It was very hard but after a lot of discussion we chose the Year 5 band that played We Will Rock You. We presented them with a trophy and let them play their outstanding song one more time.
Some Dads are big Dads and some Dads are small, some Dads are shorter and some Dads are tall, Some Dads wear blue jeans and some Dads wear suits, some Dads wear sneakers and some wear boots. But this Dad is my Dad from head down to toe He is really the very best Dad that I know! Happy Fathers Day!!!

In Maths this week we were focusing on deepening the children’s understanding of how to compare quantities. The activities we did helped us to check children’s comprehension and provided opportunities for further comparison experiences. We even get to use rekenreks! Exciting times!
In Little Wandle we continued reading longer words and revisiting the tricky words thought so far. Please take time to practice them home as well. These tricky words prove to be very tricky!!! Here are a few examples of the words we’ve read today:
Have a lovely weekend and especially to all the dads, grandads, step dads, uncles, brothers, cousins and friends that step up to show a child what it truly means to be a Father. Mrs Solakova
