This week’s blog is brought to you by a guest editor in Nile class:
Swimming
This week at swimming Year 4 had the longest lesson yet. This was the first lesson where everyone enjoyed themselves. In group 3, we were showing the teacher front crawl, breast stroke, backstroke and dolphin. The majority of people’s best stroke (in groups 2 and 3) is front crawl.
English
This week in English, Year 4 were writing persuasive speeches to convince Mr Smith that our idea was the best. These ideas were solutions to the bin, recycling and composting problems in school. We had lots of brain boosters to help our minds get whirring. The best persuasive speech will be chosen and presented to Mr Smith. There is a limited budget that the school can afford to put towards this project (around £80), so not only the best but the cheapest ideas will be chosen. The majority of pupils have one of their solutions as better labelling on bins.
