Today, 4TE were tasked to use their division skills within maths to solve a great crime! Through using great perserverence, teamwork and resilience, this bunch of budding detectives and mathematicians managed to crack the case! Great work, team!
Yesterday, I had the privilege of taking a team of swimmers to a Legacy Sport competition at Askern Leisure Centre. Our children were amazing, bringing home a range of gold, silver and bronze medals in breast stroke, front crawl and back stroke. The team spirt and support for each other was what makes our children so special. A huge well done to all involved!
Today, 4TE were given a very special assignment… Using their recently aquired proficiency of grid method multiplication, the children had to solve a series of questions in order to uncover a codeword which led to a stash of ‘gold’ hidden somewhere in the school! The children showed brilliant resilience and teamwork to perservere with the challenge and as can be seen, to eventually find the gold!
Today, 4TE were able to observe digestion up close and personal by taking part in an experiement which showed them all of the stages of the digestion process! Needless to say, nobody wanted to have any snacks afterwards!
Today, Year 4 have been flexing their mathematical muscles by demonstarting their recent proficiency towards grid method multipliation! These messy multiplications showed the children’s grasp and they fully enjoyed themselves. Whether this enjoyment came from the maths or writing on the tables, remains to be seen!
In Year 4’s English Cycle, we shall be writing explanation texts all about the human body for our expedition, ‘What Makes Us Human?’. These explanatory pieces of writing shall be aimed towards the infant school reception children and such, our texts need a friendly narrator! That’s where these characters come in… Today, we have been creating our explanation text narrators who are going to tell the infant children all about the human body and it must be said, they do look fantastic so far. I’m sure they can’t wait to explain all about science to the reception children!
4TE have been flexing their musical muscles this afternoon with some beautfiul and energetic renditions of ‘This Little Light of Mine’. The children had loads of fun and shall likely be repeating the song all the way home!
It has been a busy start to life for 4TE. Pictured below are some images from when the children were tasked with creating a bridge during Crew Week and as they flexed their architectural minds, they had a brilliant time!
On Thursday 21st March, a team of twenty-one dancers took part in the annual Campsmount Come Dancing competition. After four months of weekly practice, their collective efforts and commitment culminated in a captivatingly dramatic performance in front of four judges and a raucous crowd of local parents and carers.
With strong competition from other local junior teams in Askern Spa, Barnburgh and Kirk Smeaton, The Norton Junior School dance team captured their audience with a energetic and emotive performance, based on the French Revolution, with accompanying music from Les Miserables. Just when staff and parents could not have been more proud, the team secured a perfect score of 40/40 and came first place in the competition. Spectacular effort! 🪩
Yesterday, Year 4 had the fantastic opportunity to venture up to Campsmount to take part in an afternoon of scentific discovery! We made sandtimers, pendulums and exploded some balloons with oranges! The children had a brilliant time!
