REP - Toy workshop

The children worked with the staff from the REP Theatre to write and perform a play script. They created puppets, back drops and the stage to perform on.

On Monday 7th December, the children went to the REP Theatre to see the actors perform plays from years 3 and 4.  The children had a fantastic time watching the play scripts come to life.

Anti-Bullying Week

During anti-bullying week, the children learnt about UNICEF and their rights. Fifteen children went to 2.3 and 15 children from 2.3 came to join our class. The children worked together to create anti-bullying wrist bands.

Goodbye (for now)

It's the final day day of term here at The Oval.

4.3, you have been fantastic students and we wish you all the best of luck for next year.

Follow 4.3 next year where they will be the new 5.2 and follow Mrs Robert's with her new class, 6.1!

Have a fantastic summer everyone! 

See you in September.

Eid Mubarak to all students!

Party in the Park

On May Day this year, Year 4 sold items to the rest of the school (read about it on this blog post).

Today with all the profit we made from our selling, we had a fun day out along with 4.1 and 4.2. We went to our local park and then visited Blakesley Hall where Wisey, our school owl for The Big Hoot is displayed.

Have a look!

 Our day started off with Mr Garcia's balancing skills!

Then we made our way to Queen's Park

Arriving

Poses before the games begin

Zunaira's ready for fun

 Some children headed onto the park apparatus whilst others played sports games on the field

Sliding with style

Courtney was the undefeated balancer on the spring bridge

 There were many highlights to the day, not to mention the time Zunaira got stuck in the toddler swing!

And when Emmanouil was banished to park prison!

Everyone loved the spring seat!

Tom is looking as cool as a cucumber!

With her new found freedom, Zunaira headed towards more fun games!

After playing, we then left to visit Blakesley..

Photobomb: Zunaira

We loved this Tudor tapestry in the reception, it reminded us of  our Tudor banquet.

We finally got to see Wisey. We miss having him at our school :(

Then we went to the beautiful gardens...

Chillin'

...before heading back to Queen's for Fish and Chips. What a treat!

Followed by an extra treat. Thanks for the surprise Mrs Porter!

What a perfect way to end the school year, we hope we have another trip like this next year!

Sports Day 2k15

It's that time of the year again. We have all been looking forward to sports day, especially since Mr Garcia has arrived and has made P.E so fun and exciting. This year was the best sports day yet. The weather was perfect and we had so many events to take part in.

Have a look at 4.3's 2015 sports day pictures!

The day hadn't even begun and Tegan was already thirsty!

Zunaira is rearing to go!

Yellow team warming up on the tires

Emmanouil is very optimistic

Josh has won the cup!....(Just kidding...he wishes!)

Our first activity was counting how many continuous jumps
we could do over the barrier

Go Soph!

Fancy footwork, Kyle!

Tegan is in the zone!

Next up we had to throw foam darts and see who could throw the furthest. Samama was by far the best in 4.3. Well done, Samama, you're a natural! 

Activity 3 was a balancing act.

Looking good, Zunaira!

After balancing, we had to knock over as many blocks as we could.

Great shot, Soph!

Shaya was serving butterfly realness and managed to keep the pattern throughout
the whole day!

Libby kept sneaking off for some refreshment under the gazebo.
It was a scorcher of a day!

A quick pose before the day goes on..

Next up basket shots...

...and long jumps!

Our best long jumper was Darren, who easily managed to leap a whole metre each time.

Well done, Daz!

We had great fun doing the sack races! 

A special mention to Mr Fletcher who helped make our sports day fantastic!

Finally, all of KS2 participated in a relay!

Ibrahim gearing himself up for the big finale.

Well done to Courage for winning the sports day cup. 4.3's children in this house were:

Congratulations, your gold medals were all well-deserved. Everyone else, there's always next year!
