Scotland Class Investigate with Exercise

This afternoon, Scotland Class were investigating the relationship between exercise and breathing.

The children counted how many times they took a breath (within 20 seconds) whilst sitting down in the classroom.
They then recorded how many times they took a breath after doing 1 minute of various exercises.

What did they find out?

"I found out that my breathing increased after running because I was using more energy than when I was sitting down." Ryan

Gold Star Award again for Mead!

What a lot of stars we have at Mead!

Thanks to the amazing efforts of all the pupils and parents to travel to school on their bikes and scooters, we have won the highest level of award for our school.

'I am very proud to have achieved Gold Star level again this year,' said Mrs Eubanks, proudly. 'It's fantastic to see so many pupils (and even parents)  coming to school on their bikes and scooters. This reduces congestion and pollution. In addition, it's really good for our health, and pupils can start the day feeling energised and able to focus better on their learning.'

Welcome to Miss Paul

Mead would like to extend a warm welcome to Miss Jessica Paul, who flew in from Canada to join the Year 4 team last week.

Miss Paul can be seen here, puzzling over a London tube map, trying to figure out how to get into central London this weekend.

"I am excited to be here at Mead. Everyone has been friendly and helpful, and I look forward to a fulfilling term with Greece class!"

 

Year 4 Star Writers

'Filled with trepidation, they strapped themselves into their seats. With a jolt, their heads were tossed backwards and off they went, twisting and turning as the funfair ride lurched forward into the darkness!' 

 This is the level of descriptive writing Year 4 pupils were aiming for in this week's Big Write. Some of the pupils wrote outstanding pieces of work, and it was hard to choose the best!

The certificates this week went to:

Maisie Flower- Germany class

Moavyya Chaudry- Greece class

Elizabeth Hau- Italy Class

But don't be despondent if you didn't get chosen- keep trying your best in every lesson, and maybe you'll get a certificate next week!

Our focus vocabulary for the week is:

trepidation incessantly exasperated despondent

Your challenge is to look these words up in a dictionary to check their meaning, and try to use them correctly in sentences whenever you can!  

Our first day at Nursery!

We have had some very excited children start Nursery this week. Not only have we made new friends, we have been getting to know where all the resources are in the classroom. We have had great fun indoors and outdoors and can't wait to come back each day.

We look forward to seeing you all again on Monday. Enjoy the weekend!
