Class 4 went to the theatre to see a poet and an illistrator. (Elina Broslina and Kate wakeling) We got to see Elina draw live and listen to Kate read us some of here poems from the book cloud soup.

It was also a fantastic time to show off how well behaved we are. Kate even called up kids from the crowd to hold something or do an action! Closer to the end we got to ask some questions and have them answered. At the end we got a book called cloud soup. I was hoping we would get a merit for how good we were but turns out we didn’t. It took us 30-45 mins to get there. Because it was in the exeter theatre next to the university.

We got back around 12:38 only 8 mins into our lunch. When we got back we had a bit of play time and then went to have our lunch. There are a lot of events every year and more!

We also had a very nice lunch!

In class 4 we were able to go to John Wesley’s New Room in Bristol.In the morning,we went for a walk around Bristol. We stopped in many different places and chatted about our topic, Maafa. We were able to sit in the courtyard and eat our packed lunches. After lunch, we went into a classroom and watched a video about how Bristol was involved in the Transatlantic slave trade.  After that, we went into the museum and completed a questionnaire about John Wesley. Mr Wiggans gave the class a challenge on who could finish first, for a prize of 2 merits.

We are all very thankful for the people who gave us this wonderful opportunity.

We returned back to school on Thursday the 6th of September. It was all very exciting. We got settled in with our class teachers ready to start back up for lessons. In class 4 we got to decide our class jobs. At lunch time we got to see all the other pupils who attend the school. We all gathered in the hall for collective worship and were greeted by Miss Ratcliffe (the head teacher). It was very enjoyable and all pupils are getting on ready for the rest of the school year.

During the month of June, all of year 5 went to Blundells Boarding School. We all had the pleasure of taking part in several activities throughout the day. In the morning we participated in two activities on Ancient Greek history, one of which we learnt how to write our names in several different ancient languages. After that we had the opportunity to sacrifice Percy Pigs as they would humans in temples during Ancient Greek times. At lunch time, we had a lunch from the actual school cafeteria. The children of  the secondary school ate with us(though  a little bit overwhelming).The food was delicious. In the afternoon we got to participate in several athletic activities which were very enjoyable. Hurdells, shotput, discuss, javelin and long jump was included. It was a very engaging day. Finally we returned back to school.

All children have been sent home with forms. They will be asking you to sponsor them – they might even ask if other friends and family. They could ask friends at school but make sure they check with you first and also with their parents that they are paying themselves (not with their parents money PLEASE). They will need to walk to school and back each day when they get home they can tick the box of. If you go on the bus you could go for a walk before you get on the bus. If you drive to school you could ask your parent to park a bit further away and walk into school. If you do not walk to school at all you can’t tick it off.

Our topic this half term is Dynamic Dynasties. It is about ancient China and how they used to live. We have also learnt about their hierarchy/power. We have learnt about how China has grown and evolved over the last 1500 (or so) years ago. When the Dynamic Dynasties roamed, it was the bronze age and China was constantly in war but because of the bronze and the tools they made out of it, they nearly always won.

DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know leaders of battle often had their horses buried with them so they could accompany them to the after-life.

Every Wednesday afternoon, we have mini police. It is a fun activity that lets us feel what it’s like to be police people in real life. We chose road safety as our topic this year. We get to learn road safety and learn about how police-people help keep everyone safe and sound. The policeman ( P.C Matt) told us about how many people are scared of the police and think they are there just to arrest us and put us in prison, but actually they are there to keep everyone safe and keep the country fair. My friend says ‘ I am really excited to do speed cameras on the final week.’ ( So am I).This week  P.C Matt is coming in in his full on uniform this week.

My favourite part of the LONDON TRIP was Harry Potter World / Warner Bros Studios. Everything was Harry Potter themed. We went on a tour around all Harry Potter exhibits. There were so many statues and movies and costumes and cool rooms. There were passage ways and epic sculptures and some things you would never imagine. There was even butter beer (we did not get to try it ). Some things looked so life like that if you took a quick glance at it you would think it was real. Paige said ‘my favourite part was the workshop where we destroyed the cloth’. My favourite part was the main hall with the life size sculpture of a dragon. It was so cool !
