Playing Games
We went down to visit the YEs today, Mrs Jones' class in fact. We took the various board games we had made at the start of our Astronomy topic and the little kids seemed to really enjoy them. We did notice that they found it difficult to count up to 6, which made some of the games quite hard, and they were very shy to start off with but they almost all enjoyed themselves by the end of our visit and, as you can see, they were all smiling and happy by the end.

International Day
Well, what a lovely time we had. We walked around the school and saw all the other children (and a lot of parents). We sat under a giant wobbly blue sheet and listened to the choir and the cast of Grease. We came back to class and enjoyed the food from different parts of the world. We listened to Anmar play the guitar so that he could achieve one of his targets. And the best part of all was that we still had time for a spelling test! Enjoy the photos.

Jeans For Genes
Thanks very much to everyone for all of your generosity on Jeans for Genes day. We had a lot of fun wearing our own clothes and collected a lot of money for a very good cause as well. We watched a video in assembly and another one in class about the problems that Jeans for Genes Day helps with. Actually, we're not helping problems, we're helping children and families and we had a really good talk about our lives and our families.
As promised, here's a photo of all of our happy faces on Jeans for Genes day
and here's a link to the Jeans for Genes website. You can watch the videos that we were talking about here.

One more little tidbit of information: we'll be choosing our Student Councillor and Deputy SC on Sunday. If you wish to be a candidate (ie if you want people to vote for you) then you need to get two nominations (two people who think you will be a good councillor) and hand them to me. The people nominating you have to write down a reason why you would be a good councillor. We will vote on all the candidates on Sunday before second break.

New News
Just a couple of reminders of things to do or bring next week:
We are now on full Uniform Alert, starting Saturday. That is when you should be wearing all the correct uniform, as explained to you many times over the last three weeks, now including HATS! Bring your school hat or you'll be sitting on the No School Hat, No Play bench.
If you or your parents have any photos of Jeddah from before you were born (ie long ago), can I borrow them? I promise to return them quickly and in good condition :-) Anything showing people or places that have changed since then would be good. If you have the photos on a memory card, that's all good.

Wow! What a day!! We had 18 out of 21 kids in today, all brimming with energy and raring to get to work at the beginning of another wonderful year. We talked about all of our expectations for Year 5, gave out LOADS of uniform slips, learned about how Mr Ward wants his maths books to appear and even had time for our first bit of homework. What a busy day!
Let's see if we're all here tomorrow and if we can all remember each others' names!

Flower Power
We had a little walk around the school today to observe the wondrous beauty of nature. Then we brought some back to class and pulled it to pieces.
Actually we were studying flowers as part of our work on plants. We were trying to identify the different parts of the flower and noting the differences between one plant and another. All part of the miraculous world around us that we are often too busy to even notice. As the saying goes, when you travel along the path of life, take time to stop and smell the flowers.

Fun & Games
We've been trying to have fun and make games at school today. Of course, every day is fun in Mr Ward's class but this time it's educational! We started off trying to make a game which uses magnets or electricity. We had some very complex and impressive ideas which were quite hard to create but some of decided that simple ideas often work best so we stuck to a fishing game like this one.

Later this week we'll be making a camera using cardboard tubes. How exciting! If you want to have a go at home, here are some simple instructions to show you how. You may need an adult to help with a little bit of it.

Welcome Back
Hello again everyone. I hope you enjoyed our most recent half-term. It may not have seemed very long but don't forget, it was 86400 seconds, which sounds a lot longer than than 1 day or 0.27% of a year. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, we'll be studying units of time this week in maths and those are three ways of writing 24 hours.
Now as we've missed Saturday, we won't be having a library lesson this week. If any of you want to bring your library books on Sunday (or any other day) I'm sure Mrs Schermer will be happy to take them. We won't be having a library lesson next week either as it's our OUTDOOR ED time! Yay!
One final thing; here's the video about the eye that we watched on Wednesday. Feel free to have another look, just in case I give you a test or something. :-)

Do My Eyes Deceive Me?
Coming Soon: the latest Golden Book AWard winners.
However, here's something else first. We are about to study a little about how the eye works, how we 'see' the world around us and what part light plays in this process. In my endless search for new and interesting study material, I came across this video. I thought that the tricks that the makers played using only light were amazing. Only the buildings and people are real; nothing that appears on the building is really there. Or is it?

Here are a couple of the links I showed you in class. Have a look at what each theme park is advertising to get an idea of the kind of words they use and how they make their rides sound exciting.
Remember, you need to give in your advertisement on Wednesday!
Drayton Manor - this is the one that the Ward family visit in the summer holidays
Thorpe Park - I used to go there when I was little and the best ride was a bike with wobbly wheels. It's changed a bit.
Alton Towers - the most famous theme park in Britain. I went there once and queued for 90 minutes in the rain for a 45 second ride. Never again.
The winners of the mystery question last week were Adlan and Sulaiman again. Doesn't anyone else want housepoints?

Notre visite au Café Français
Aujourd'hui était jour international de nourriture! Nous sommes allés visiter le café français dans l'école aînée. Il y avait beaucoup d'étudiants nous servant et nous avons mangé des croissants et du pain au chocolat et avons bu du chocolat chaud. Nous tout apprécié notre temps là et avons même eu la chance de parler français!

Joint Construction
We had a lot of fun building fairground rides out of Knex last week. It's a bit like Lego but not as easy to work with. For some reason, the girls were much better at building than the boys! I think we should start thinking about engineering careers ladies.
Here's a few photos of the successful, and not so successful models.
