Can you remember which of these materials were which?

School council representative voting day
Date: 4th Dec 2018 @ 4:29pm
A couple of weeks ago, the whole school had the opportunity to vote for their class school council representative. Some children chose to prepare a speech at home, explaining why they would be a good choice. They had to remember what Mrs Ranyard told them in assembly about being a good listener and sticking to a project for the benefit of others.
After they delivered their speeches, the rest of the class had special ballot papers to choose the best person for the role. The downstairs meeting room was converted into a polling station, complete with private booths, just like adults use in real life!

Date: 25th Nov 2018 @ 10:22pm
This half term in year 4 we are learning to be computer programmers. We are using a program called turtle art to explore sequencing a set of instructions.
If you want to practise using this at home you can download here http://www.icompute-uk.com/primary-computing-resources.html
This week we practised dragging programming blocks to draw a variety of shapes. We then used the repeat button to make the instructions simpler.
We are looking forward to extending our knowledge next week.

We are getting so much better at running the Daily Mile!
When we first started we struggled to keep going but now we are starting to push ourselves to run further and faster every week.
