Year 3 went on a visit to a Hindu temple. We found out lots but we could also share our own information about Rama and Ravana as we have been writing our own stories during our India topic this half term.

Over the past couple of weeks, 4NS have been getting ready for Christmas. First, we saw Santa on the Santa Bus and we all got a present and sang Jingle Bells.
We performed our song "Please don't buy me a handkerchief" in the outdoor Christmas concert.
Next we had a Christmas party in our classrooms, complete with party games in the hall, a mini-feast in our classrooms and some more games afterwards!
A HUGE thanks to all our children and grown-ups who brought in lots of goodies for us to eat and plates/cups/napkins as well. We appreciate your support!
We hope everyone has a wonderful winter break and we'll see you in the New Year!

Today 4ST celebrated Christmas in style at our Christmas class party! We dressed up, played games, ate party food and won some cool prizes. Everyone was well and truly in the Christmas sprit and really enjoyed themselves.
Thank you to all the parents for the generous food donations. It was all yummy!
It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.
What an amazing week we had last week!
Who needs the X factor!!!!!!! The very talented children of Ravensbury entertained us with their singing, acting and performing. EYFS and KS1 children reminded us of the true meaning of Christmas with their renditions of the Nativity story and KS2 braved the cold to entertain everyone with their Christmas songs (it would have been even more Christmassy if we had managed to get the snow machine to work - sorry 
). The samba band, steel pans and choir put on a musical showcase to share some of the things they had been working on in there after school clubs.
The children enjoyed Christmas dinner on Wednesday. The dining room had been transformed into a magical grotto. The look on the children's faces as they entered the dining room was priceless.
Thank you to everyone who came to the Christmas celebraions, your support is very much appreciated.
Best wishes for Christmas and 2019!

In our Connected Curriculum lesson this week, year 4 tried their hand at being directors, camera people, actors and scriptwriters to produce a mini earthquake movie. They used iPads to film each scene and watched them back to edit the footage together. You can tell by the smiles on their faces that the children thoroughly enjoyed the movie-making process! Great digital literacy skills, year 4!

Today in reading the children were asked to perform in groups one of the earthquake poems they have been reading this week. As part of their poetry unit we have learnt about the structure and presentation of poems, the reasons why poetry is written and the different literary devices that poets use. The performances were all excellent, some children were even able to learn their poems off by heart in a very short time.

This week we went to visit a Hindu temple. We learnt more about Hindu gods and goddesses, Diwali and Hinduism.

Today was our delicious Christmas dinner. The children all enjoyed the tasty food and even those who chose to have a packed lunch still enjoyed their cracker. What a fantastic start to our Christmas celebrations!

This morning the children had a visit from a very special visitor. Father Christmas came on his bus to wish the children a Merry Christmas and give them all a present. It was a great time and we all loved it.

In science, we have been testing different materials to see whether they are conductors (let electricity flow through them) or insulators (don't let electricity flow through them).
Can you remember which of these materials were which?

The Great British Wartime Bake Off!
Date: 6th Dec 2018 @ 11:16pm
Today there was a bustling ration queue as the children of Year 6 attempted to collect their meagre rations to make their wartime shortbread. They have this evening to use the limited amounts of flour, butter and sugar to ollow the wartime recipe they have been given. Good luck Year 6! The Bake off competition winners will be announced tomorrow!

This week in Year 4, we have been looking at decimals. Children used place value lines and dice to create random decimal numbers. They then practised saying the numbers out loud, not forgetting to say "point" for the decimal point.
Can you say the decimal numbers on these children's place value lines?
