A lovely week in Class Asia. It started with a visit to Prayer Space, where the children explored a range of thoughtful experiences. We had Sports Day which was brilliant. Every child gave their best competing, but also supported and encouraged each other. A big achievement was that the children of Year 4 finished their Multiplication Tables Check which they have been working hard on all year (and throughout their whole school experience). Their attitude has been excellent and it has been lovely to see the progress they have made in confidence with their tables. On Friday, Miss Armstrong popped into our class, and whilst she was there, she was so impressed with the quality of our presentation in our books that she chose four to celebrate in assembly. Finally, three children in our class got a special delivery from ‘The King’. They had been thinking of ways to raise money for charities and decided to send King Charles a letter asking for support. On Friday, they brough in a lovely letter in reply from the King thanking them for their efforts and encouraging them in their charitable pursuits. Amazing. What a super week.

A great first week back after half-term and it has been a very sporty week. The whole class started golf in PE and loved it. The learnt how to use a club for long distance shots. Whilst doing this, their aim was to get the ball over the water hazard and onto the green, but not past it. They loved it and made quick progress. Another sporting highlight was the Year 4 GSSP QuadKids event. A team took part against other schools to compete in four events; sprint, middle distance, turbo howler and the standing two footed jump. The Emmaville children were amazing in attitude, behaviour and skills, and one of our teams came away with a second-place finish. Well done Team Emmaville.
Friday 8th May
This week Class Asia visited Vindolanda (a Roman fort) to reinforce their learning in History about ‘The Romans in Britain’. The children explored the fort, spoke with archaeologists excavating more of the site, role played the lives of people living and working in the fort, and engaged with artefacts in the museum. The children had a great time and connected their classroom learning with the real thing.
Friday 1st May
We have had a lovely week in Class Asia. The sun has been out and we have had a great time with our learning. This week we took a trip to Crawcrook Library and reviewed book by deciding if we would borrow, share or leave. We also explore in maths how to convert from in an improper fraction to a mixed number. We went practical, and could see clearly what was happening.
Friday 24th April
A great first week back after the Easter holidays. We’ve started rugby in PE, photography in art, continued with Roman Britain in History, and computational thinking in Computing. But is Science, we started exploring digestion and the digestive system. The children learnt what digestion is, why it is important, and what organs are part of the system. They then identified the different nutrients that different foods provide the body through digestion.
