Term 5

Election fever grips Red Kites

This week Red Kites have been gripped by elections. Not just the General Elections but something even more important………to be the class representative on the school council. 12 children from the class fought it out to represent our class. The fighting was tough with the other children helping to make propaganda posters for their chosen candidate. All the candidates gave a speech to the class on why they should be elected and took further questions from the audience.

Red Kites had to choose a candidate from Year 3 and from Year 4 to represent. After a hard thought campaign the winners of the election were Izzy Orlando and Zane Brant.

Red Kites week beginning the 27th April

This week we have been learning about loads of things and not just about Dr Who. In topic we looked at the gadgets the Doctor has used and created and we came up with our own ideas for inventions and gadgets for the Doctor.

In Science we are looking at Light and Dark, in particular this week mirrors and reflection. We had a go at writing secret messages with mirrors.

Finally on Friday we had an ICT lesson that didn't involve any computers. It was all to do with algorithms and the importance of putting the instructions in the correct order, otherwise this can happen .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leBEFaVHllE

The first being a Russian folk story called “Baba Yaga” and the second being “Hansel and Gretel”. From week two onwards we will be diving into our topic of “Dr Who an adventure in time and space”. 

Wonderful Wales

For the end of this term we will be starting a new exciting topic about the brilliant country of Wales. We had a very brief look at Wales on international day but for 3 weeks we will be delving deeper into the language and culture of Wales.
