Class 9 have really been uplevelling their editing skills this week. We edited a Teams assignment with twenty mistakes - it took a long time to find them all! After this warm up we turned to our own writing from yesterday. Before we handed our learning in we put on our 'fresh eyes' glasses for one last check. Mrs Tomlinson is very proud of how our skills are improving.

Class 9 enjoyed a visit from Danny Evans a professional basket ball player. The children had a chance to see where Danny started from and how he now plays for Great Britain. The children asked lots of questions, for example from Hammad, " who is your sporting idol?" They also had a chance to try out some skills and take part in a work out that Danny does most days to keep fit. The class loved the whole experience and went outside at playtime and played basket ball.

In PSHE the children talked about having a good bedtime routine to help them sleep, like reading a book, having a bath or listening to music was a few ideas. Then the children came up with a guide to having a gd sleeping routine.

Class 9 had a great start to their Science topic on teeth and digestion by finding out at home about the different teeth we have. In class children used their iPads to watch which teeth they used for eating a slice of apple. The children found out about the particular job each type of tooth has. Why don't you ask them to tell you all about teeth.

This week the children were treated to a new book from The Harmony Trust. It was lovely to have time to browse the books and then choose one to keep forever! We went back to class and straight into the new books. The children love the smell of a new book and time to chat to their friends about what they had chosen. Many children chose the same as a friend so they coudl read together.

This week is Curriculum Week and Class 9 are basing all their learning on a rainforest story called Shaman's Apprentice. The children have made a rainforest in a box, added a vocabulary book with unknown or interesting words. Then they made salt dough rainforest animals and painted them and then added these to their box. The children have also written some AMAZING setting descriptions and used different media to create rainforest pictures. The photgraphs are just some of the super work Class 9 have produced.

Class 9 are studying The Romans for topic and this week we had a wow afternoon to start our learning in a fun and creative way. The children loved making mosaics, a leafy wreath for their head, they made a Powerpoint finding lots of facts using given websites and finally they tasted some of the foods Romans would have eaten like figs, olives and dates. We got a mixed reaction to the food tasting as some children loved them and others thought they were revolting! We had an AMAZING afternoon.

This week the children have returned from their break and have been learning about symmetry. We started with symmetry of shapes which the children remembered doing in prevous years. We then moved onto symmetry of letters. The children looked confused when we first introduced this but then were amazed when they used the mirrors to find the lines of symmetry here.

Class 9 have been fully on board with the Anti-Bullying learning this week. Thank you to all parents for sending your children in to school wearing 'Odd Socks' so many took part.

Welcome back Class 9.
We have started a new book in English this week called The Queen's Handbag. The children have enjoyed hearing the story and then bringing it to life using drama. They became the different characters and used their voice and actions to recreate the story. They used props, great facial and body expressions and lots of humour too! They have then looked at the vocabulary used and found rhyming words, definitions, synonymns and showed they understand by writing their own sentences. A great start to Autumn 2. Well done Class 9!

This week at Greenhill we have been learning about Black History Month. Year 3 and 4 have been given the task to find out about black heroes. The children have spent 4 days looking at many black heroes but more closely at four different men and women. We found out about their lives, their struggles and their determination to achieve. In class the children have been researching the heroes, fact finding, acting out well known times from the heroes life and being creative using a variety of art media to produce some excellent outcomes. The children have asked so many questions which has lead to some great discussions. Well done Class 9 for your eagerness to learn. You are ALL SUPERSTARS!

Class 9 have been amazing designers this week in their DT lessons. Their task was to create a Greek Temple using boxes and masking tape. You can clearly see what a huge success they had. They also created a digital floor book of their learning with design plans, evaluations, photographs and video. Some children even went home and created their own temple there. Super learning continuing throughout home and school.

Class 9 have had a super week writing a Greek myth about Theseus and the Minotaur. The childrens' writing was lovely to read and they were all very proud. In PSHE we have been looking at why we need rules, having the right to vote, using our manners and being respectful. The children were creative with their scenarios showing respect to each other. Well done Class 9! Another great week!

Class 9 have continued their learning about electricity and this week they were set a challenge which was could they light up the bulb or make the buzzer buzz. The children were so enthusiastic and loved the practical learning and the challenge set. They worked out how to make a full circuit so the bulb lit up and then drew the circuit they had made using electrical symbols. Well done Class 9!
