Adventurer and Explorer Dress Up Day!
Year 4 have enjoyed sketching and colouring flowers painted by Margaret Mee, who spent many years in the Amazon rainforest. The children have also loved taking part in the orienteering course out on the field, using a map to locate flags and then using an Atlas to find out which country it belongs to.

We've enjoyed World Book Day by completing a variety activities, including book reviews, bookmarks, word searches, drawing character selfies, designing crazy fruit and cake recipes and turning our favourite book into a comic. But not forgetting, our delicious juice and snacks, relaxing in front of the fire reading our favourite books. We also had the pleasure of our lovely Year 6 children coming down to read to us

Dress up day! (Fri 15th October)
As already mentioned, on Friday 15th October, we will be having our dress up day. This links to our current project which is Temples, Tombs and Treasures (Ancient Egyptians). Below are some ideas that you may wish to consider and could even make at home. There are links to websites to either buy a costume, or to have a go at making one yourself. We will look forward to seeing all the children looking like they came from Ancient Egypt.
