We made rooms with alarms that worked and our own home-made alarms for Ann, so that she would know if Kong entered!

In English, we have been learning all about Daedalus and Icarus and have written alternative endings. Look at Fletcher's wonderful writing:
Falling through the sky, Icarus was terrified as a snail in the middle of the road. Going past thick, dense clouds, he saw the glimmering, blue ocean below him.
When Icarus landed in the giant, aqua sea, he started to swim. He got tired but he could see land and people. He was swimming fast.
When he got to a new environment, which was a beach with bright, yellow sand, he started to travel to find a place to live. He didn't even care where it was because it was raining.
When he found an old shack, it was rotten. He could sleep in it all day. It already had a bed in there and food, so it was so wet now. It started to leak from the roof, so everything got wet.

PE -PE days are Mondays and Wednesdays - Children should come into school wearing their school PE kit and Foundry Lane jumper if they wish.
Reading Books - Your child will be sent home with a reading book every Monday. This will be a reading book that is selected by their reading ability. They will also be able to choose a library book from a selection in the classroom. These must be returned on a Friday in order to quarantine over the weekend.
Homework - Homework will be sent out on a Thursday and should be returned by the following Monday. This gives the books time to be quarantined in time for teachers to mark them and resend them out.

Isle of Wight March 2019
We had a lovely time at the Isle of Wight. On the first day we met at Mayflower Park and travelled via ferry to the Isle of Wight. Then we visited Dinosaur Expeditions near Brighstone. We drew dinosaurs, learnt about dinosaurs, found fossils, completed a quiz and walked on the beach hunting fossils. We even got to take some fossils away with us!
Back at East Dene we had lots of fun making our own beds and we were all very ready to sit down and eat a delicious dinner together. It was exciting to sleep in dormitories and to all have hot chocolate and a bedtime story together.
The next day was our activity day at East Dene. We learnt all about erosion on the beach and created Art sculptures. We took part in team building exercises including getting extremely muddy and a little bit wet. One of the best bits was creating our own fire and then having a bonfire. We were so tired by bedtime.
On our last morning, the teachers had to wake us up! We visited Osborne House where Queen Victoria lived. We were all very tired on the ferry back home and we ate our lunch talking together about the lovely time that we had had. We were very sad to have to end our trip but so pleased to see our grown-ups!
Well done year four for your wonderful behaviour and for being so much fun. We had a super time!
