This week has been very busy, as we were practising being year 4.  Most things were the same, as we are still with Mrs Romaine, but we moved classrooms and chose a new name, Usain Bolt. We made a fact file about him, which was really interesting.

We set our class rules, and made some pledges of what we are going to do to make sure that less plastic goes into landfill.

In Science, we had great fun making paper helicopters, most of them flew, but some may have been a bit too big and heavy.

We looked at what it means to be grateful in PSHCE, and we really do appreciate the things our family, friends nd teachers being there for us and doing different things with us.

Have a lovely weekend
