Year 3/4- Starlings: Blog items
Date: 25th Mar 2020 @ 10:04am
Good morning guys!
I hope you're all staying safe and trying to make the most of everything that's going on at the moment! A massive thank you for the great work ethic shown by the majority of you over the last few days, we even have 1 child who is extremely close to answering 1000 questions on IXL, can anyone beat them to it?!
We had a few responses to yesterdays question, congratulations to HB for being the first to answer correctly! The answers was of course Spongebob Squarepants.
Todays question (No googling...) : Who were the last English team to knock out Athletico Madrid over 2 legs? - Sorry Liverpool fans
A final note, if you can, please try and join the trend of putting a rainbow in your window! I was sceptical about this craze but on my walk home from school yesterday I saw a few in windows and they genuinely did put a big smile on my face!
Stay safe, have fun, keep learning!!

You're all going to be tired of me soon!
I've had some people asking about LBQ, the code will be live everyday until 3.15. If you are trying to access it after this the lesson will have ended therefore the code will be dead. If this is the case please attempt work on IXL instead.
How to access LBQ:
Search LBQ on google
Click on the first link
In the top right corner (Log in)
Select the Connect button under the pupil
Enter the code and have fun!

Good morning guys!
Your learning for the day is up on the blog, I'll add some help on how to access LBQ from home (It is only accessabile until 3.15).
As things stand we have enough biscuits to get us through these next few weeks so all is good! It was amazing to see so many of you log on to learn yesterday, especially with the hiccup with the code (Sorry!).
The weather is gorgeous at the moment so I hope you are all being able to enjoy it safely in your own homes. Please keep me entertained with any stories about what you get up to during this extended break.
I've enjoyed the chance to finally get organised and tidied, a miracle I know! You won't recognise the place when you come back (We can finally see the side children!)
I will be adding a trivia question to the end of my daily blog, the first correct reply will be added to the blog and you will have 10 house points when we return.
First Question: Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
Have a great day guys!

Apologies to those who have already seen this and started the work, from now on I will be using LBQ for the majority of the home learning tasks, therefore will be posting a new code everyday day with Reading, Maths and SPAG task (They are clearly lablled) . As I already had them planned I will continue to post suggestions for IXL work for the remainder of the week, however these are now only additional tasks.
I hope you're all surviving the first day of home schooling, it is definatley a very strange feelings losing 90% of my class! Have a great day, stay safe, feel free to send in any fantastic work you all do over the next few days.
All the best,
A very lonely Mr. Dean!

Over the up coming weeks, we hope that you are able to keep up the great work you have done improving your reading skills. Alongside the home reader, we reccommend books from the 100 book challenge for you all as they are what we as a school reccommened as high quality reading for your age. I have attatched 5 documents that show you which books they are incase you do not have access to the list we last sent home.
Please keep reading, no excuses for not reading 4 times when we are back!

Over the last few weeks we have been trying to focus really hard on our presentation, especially with our handwriting. As a result of the impending closure I would appreciate if we could kep up the hard work and practice our handwriting wherever possible.
The following link shows the exact formations of the letters that we practice in lessons, thank you for your co-operation.

In school we follow the 100 book challenge which offers lots of exciting books for your children to read.
Here are the titles of the books which make up the challenge. It would be fantastic if all children continue with their daily reading by reading some of these books at home.

We would like to say a massive thank you to all the parents who came in and joined in with our book bingo! It was great to see everyone engaged and having a great discussion about different books we have read!

As part of World Book Day we loved having the chance to read to the children of Robins class! It was especially fun to read to the children who had the same costumes as us!

Before dancing around the classroom though, we investigated the school grounds to find a range of mini beasts for us to classify. It’s fair to say the weather sent most into hiding but that didn’t stop us from trying.

This afternoon marked the start of our singing rehearsals ready for our upcoming production! Our song is coming together and the children have choreographed some great dance moves!

In science we have been learning about food webs, therefore we made a massive human food web within our class room to show how all the animals in a mountainous forrest are linked. By removing just one plant, 14 out of 16 plants and animals died, showing why humans needs to start being more responsible!

As part of our afternoon topic, Starlings invaded Chester to learn all about where the Romans settled. We explored lots of old artefacts before marching round the city in formation and signing up to the Roman army for the next 25 years!

Today we were lucky enough to have some visitors from NatWest come into class and teach us how to be sensible with our money and how to set up our own businesses. They were very impressed with some of the children’s money saving ideas!

In art this term we have been researching and designing our very own Roman mosaics. Although we didn’t quite finish they all look fantastic so far! The children really thought about their patterns and how to use some cut and broken tiles to make them look more authentic.

This week we investigated how our digestive system actually works by getting our hands dirty! We slowly followed the journey our food takes, identifying all the main organs and their roles as we did so.
