Homework 7th September 2018
Learning Log
Your homework this week is linked to our new Come and See topic 'People' where we will be learning all about Jesus' family tree. We would like you to create your own family tree for us to have a look at in class. You can make a classic family tree or if you're feeling creative and would like to add photos or pictures of your relatives that would be great. Homework is due as usual on Wednesday 12th September. We look forward to seeing your lovely family trees.
Tuesday 11th September - Spectacular Stuarts Day
- On this day we will be celebrating our new context "Fame Fire and Fortune" based on the historical Stuart period in Wales. Children are invited to dress in historical costume or complete a character profile on Colonel Edward Pritchard, the Master at Llancaiach Fawr Manor House, Nelson, South Wales during the Stuart period.
Thursday 13th September - Dahlicious Day 2018
Come to school dressed as your favourite Roald Dahl character.
PARENTS - Please bear in mind that all Year 4 children will also be walking to Pentwyn Leisure Centre, and changing swiftly for their swimming lessons every afternoon for the next 2 weeks (Mon 10th- Fri 24th Sept). I am sure many children will have fantastic costumes, but when swimming on those days clothing will still need to fit inside a locker (£1) and be comfortable to walk in.
Y4D - 1.30pm-2.15pm
Y4A - 2.15pm - 3.00pm
If parents wish to attend, the Leisure centre has a cafeteria/viewing area where parents may meet the class for their lesson. Children must return to school with their class to be collected at 3.30pm.

What a Load of Rubbish - shopping (due Wednesday as normal)
Ask your family if you can accompany them on your weekly food shop. Have a look at the different things that they buy and see what kind of packaging is used to protect them.
When you get back home, try to have a quick look through the shopping before things are put away and see if you can identify which items use the most packaging and which use the least.
Decide on a way to present your findings, either a display board, powerpoint (via Hwb/Office365) or in your learning logs.
THINK - What have you learnt about the packaging around your products? Can you think of any ways that people could help to reduce the amount of packaging that they end up with after shopping? Can any of the bits of packaging that you have looked at be recycled?

Burps, Bottoms and Bile
We were very lucky to have three students from Cardiff University come in to school to carry out a number of different workshops with us, all about our new context called Burps, Bottoms and Bile! Chloe, Holly and Rachael carried out activities telling us all the gory details of what happens in our digestive systems; showing us the germs that are on our hands and fun facts about our bones and how important these are to us! We had a fantastic afternoon and learnt heaps of new facts about our bodies.
