In Class we we are learning...

Cross-Curricular Theme	Free Fare The main idea of this unit is that the world’s resources are not everlasting. We need to meet our needs without compromising the ability for future generations to meet theirs. We will look at the following areas: -Shopping habitats -Where food is produced -Why do we import clothes/food? -Free trade v's Fare trade -How communities benefit from export -How communities can be exploited. What can we do to support communities? As part of this unit, we will be exploring school dinners at Saint Mary's and children will discover where the food that they are eating has come from.
ICT	Communicating Information This unit is the opportunity for children to learn and devekop new skills by communicating information to a given audience using different media. Some of the skills we will look at are: - typing - PowerPoint skills (hyperlinks/inserting images and sounds/animations) - Publisher skills (using different templates for different purposes) - Using Photo Story The main project which children will work up to is using Photo Story to create a film about our theme work on Fair Trade. They will take and insert carefully thought-out images and add narration and text, as well as music, to communicate different aspects of the unit to a given audience. We will then share these to our peers. I will also display some on here at the end of the term so keep your eye out!

Book Week was a great success and the costumes were fantastic!

PE days - Change!!! As of term 5, we will have PE on Mondays and Thursdays.

Please can children have correct Pe kit in school for these days. White t-shirt, blue or black shorts and appropriate footwear for both indoor and outdoor PE. I am more than happy for children to wear jogging bottoms for outdoor PE when it is cold, but please can these be dark and plain.

Children will need to tie their hair back and ALL jewellry must be removed (earrings may be covered with tape)
