We all enjoyed doing it and every person in the audience loved it. We sang Ain't no moutain high  enough

which reminded us of Malvern. We did favourite parts, funny parts and feelings. We had the Malvraps , Lani's poem and Lia's and Kelly's poem. They were all great.

Mrs Woodbine put lots of decorations up for us and we all are very greatful. Thank you to Mrs Sweeney aswell for doing the script. We all had a special sparkly sticker from Mrs Sweeney and even Mrs Woodbine and Mrs Sweeney had  one.Thank you everyone who was involved in the assembly including the audience!!!!!!

because we went to Malvern!!!!!!!

 

We went to Malvern with Miss Davies and Mrs Woodbine. 

When we got to Malvern they put us in groups

 

Miss Davies was with group one and Mrs woodbine was with group 2.

 

Group 1 first activities were the zip wire and archery.

 

Group 2 first activities were the archery and quadpole.

We also had 2 evening activities the 1st one was nightwalk

that was so much fun, but VERY cold!!!!!!

The 2nd one was the punch trail we had to go around the centre and look for the numbers 

and punch it with a punch that was like a stapler. 

That is all we have to tell you because otherwise we will fill the whole page

February 2013

 

We've had a busy few weeks since our last update! We've been taking part in football and hockey tournaments and two of us went to a Dance Workshop at Finstall First School.

 

The football took place at Parkside Middle School in Bromsgrove. We were placed in teams with children from different schools, the teams were named after countries and we took part in the tournament.

 

The Quicksticks Hockey took place at Bromsgrove School. The children played in two different teams. The green Beoley team won! Congratulations! Thank you to the family members who helped with lifts.

 

The Eco Committee visited the Worcester Resource Exchange with Miss Davies, Mrs Marshall and Mrs Johnson this week. They went to collect resources for our Eco Day tomorrow! Look out for a picture in the Standard!

Years 3 and 4 took part in a tag rugby tournament last week. The coaches from Kings Norton Rugby Club came in to referee and out of the six teams the Red Bulls were the winners. Jim and Will from the club were kind enough to come in to Celebration Assembly yesterday to present the children with their certificates and the Red Bulls with their shield. Stacy said "The rugby tournament was amazing" Beech Class would like to thank Mrs Allen and Kings Norton Rugby Club for organising it for us.

We had a fabulous time yesterday when M and M Productions came to school to perform Jack and the Beanstalk for us! Our favourite characters were Jack, Jill, Mrs Trot and Squire Bogee. Our favourite  parts were when Numpty started crying, the key falling down from the sky, Diddles chasing the Squire and Jack and the giant peeping through the letter box.

It's been a very busy start to our time in Year 4!

 

Mrs Sweeney, Mrs Taylor and Mrs Woodbine are thrilled with how well we have settled in and with how grown up we all seem to be! Our monitor jobs are going well and we are enjoying the new challenges in our work.

 

Our topic this half term is Village Settlers. We have been busy making Viking houses and longships, which was very fiddly! All of us have enjoyed researching this topic and have brought in some very interesting things for us to look at.

 

We have been learning lots of French and can now greet each other, count to ten (or twenty in some cases!) and name some family members.

 

Our Thrilling Thursday sessions have been outstanding! We have made scarecrows, planted vegetables, cleared an area for growing and searched for different types of trees.

 

Thomas said "Life in Year 4 is fantastic because I am enjoying the Maths."

 

"I really enjoy the topic that we are doing in Year 4 and how we made the houses." Charlie.

 

"I enjoy doing tag rugby in Year 4 because it is a fun activity to do with the class." Teagan.

 

"I am enjoying the awesome English and Maths in Year 4."

 

We hope you all enjoyed the Harvest Festival which was about water. We worked very hard to learn our lines and Mrs Sweeney was very proud that we knew them off by heart.

For sketching we draw the steps and all different shaped trees.

 

I think you remember the dancing we were doing we did it at the end of the day and the oher classes was really good but we think we had the fastest dance in the school but even though it was fast we still enoyed it.

Fact of the week  chloes paddle got stuck in the bush.

 

In languages we are doing German because we have finished Spanish.

We have learnt how to say the numbers,days,months,season. colours in German.

Jasmine knows how to say number 3 in German. "Dreis."we all  thought German was really fun we now can all count up to 20 in German and we played bingo but with the German numbers it was really fun a few people won but we all had fun.

In DT with Mrs Talyor we are going to make pop up books this group with Eleanor Isabel Josie and Darcey (me) our group is doing a space pop up book and every group has lots of ideas  and are finding bits and bobs to go in the book to make it look brillant!

In P.E we made our own game up called the rotator finlay thought of that name we all enjoyed playing it there were two teams and a ball and two goal keepers we had to get the ball to our goal keeper. With this lovely weather it is really fun to plat and we can do it outside. Yesterday we did a experiment it was that we put water in 8 different cups and checked how warm it was we then put the cups in 8 dfferent places left them for 30 mins and checked them again the warmest one was in the tepee at 30 degrees the coldest one was in the fridge at 13 degrees we had fun predicting the temperatures and the experiment and everything it was such fun we recorded everythind down in our science book.

included the night walk, quad pole, zip wire, high and low bridges, rock

climbing, archery, tunnels, punch trail, problem solving, night line and low ropes.

 

Holly's favourite activity was rock climbing because she went really high up.

Josie loved the Indiana Jones bridge because it was very high and scary.

Jamie's was the problem solving because he found it challenging.

A huge thank you to Mrs Woodbine and Miss Davies for taking us.

St. David's Day

 

This week Nick from the Malvern Outdoor Centre came into school to tell us all about what we will be doing there. We had to put some of the equipment on including helmets, waterproofs and harnesses. It was very funny! We had some team challenges to make shapes out of rope. His visit helped us to understand more about the centre and now we really can't wait! When we go we are going to go on the zipwire, the obstacle course and the bridges and we are looking forward to the night walk.

 

We have been using our bodies to make different shapes and words in gym in PE.

 

We have also been writing poetry about our favourite things in English. Darcey wrote about hedgehogs and cats and Tia wrote about fairies.

 

We have been working with and finding out about our learning partners. Jasmine thinks that working with learning partners is good to help us to find out more about each other.

 

23rd February 2012

 

Welcome to our first entry as a class! We are very excited to tell you that we will be providing you with regular updates about what we have been doing in Beech class.

 

 

We have decided to call our outdoor sessions Thrilling Thursdays. We have been making bird food using popcorn, raisins and fat balls and have been on welly, twig and leaf hunts. We were lucky enough to go for a walk in the snow before Half Term because Mrs Woodbine has finished her First Aid training and had great fun making snow angels on the hill! We also spotted a badger's footprint in the snow! Thrilling Thursdays links in with our Environment topic work.

 

Mrs Sweeney is very pleased to be back and is enjoying teaching us. She is especially impressed with our Maths skills.

 

We are looking at Changing Materials in Science and can't wait for our visit to the Big Bang Live in Birmingham, where we will hopefully see lots of exciting Science and Technology activities. We have written thank you letters to Mettis Aerospace, who have very kindly paid for our coaches. Look out for an article in the Standard!

 

 

 

We are extremely excited about our trip to Malvern and can't wait to meet Nick from the centre, who is coming to school on Monday to talk to us about our activities and answer any questions that we might have.

 

Holly said "I'm really looking forward to going to Malvern because I can't wait to go on the zipwire!"

 

Hannah commented "I can't wait to try out all of the activities in Malvern!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello and welcome to Beech class.  

We can't believe how quickly this term has gone so far! We have lots of exciting things to tell you though. 

Open day was a huge success and lots of parents liked having us take them on a tour of the school and we enjoyed doing it. We put together a French café in the hall, where we spoke to the parents in French and offered them drinks and cakes. We even made our own tartes aux pommes to tempt parents with.

 

We enjoyed doing Squash in PE. We even had a tournament in the last session! The winners and runners up were given medals and we all said that we would like to play some more squash in the future.

 

 The parts for the Christmas play have been given out and there have been some surprises for some children in Beech class. We are all very excited about the play though and can't wait to really get going with the rehearsals. We are all frantically learning our lines and some of us even know them all off by heart already! We are looking forward to getting dressed up and going on the stage.

 

We will let you know how the play goes and what Christmas activities we are doing when we visit our page again.

 

 Bye!!
