Choir at Cabot circus
On Thursday of last week, the choir were invited to take part in a charity event to raise money for Ronald Macdonald House; a house for the families of ill children. We sang in the balcony area of Cabot Circus in full view of all the shoppers. It can now be revealed that we raised £202.08 during our half hour session of carol singing! This is an amazing amount as the total raised by 12 choirs was £1478. We were also only one of 2 primary choirs, the rest being secondary or adult choirs! So yet again Well Done and Bravo to the choir!!
That Christmas feeling
Later the Reception class will be playing some Christmas games on the website northpole.com, including making a disco dancing santa!

Sketching the past
Dinosaur author
We were lucky today to be visited by author Peter J Davidson. He has written two children's novels about dinosaurs. In a special assembly he talked about how he became an author and showed us some fossils. After school David will be in our new library after school. David will be signing books in the Cribbs Causeway on Saturday.

Bristol Questionnaire
For homework Y4C interviewed friends and family to find out more about Bristol for our topic 'There's no place like home'. During a Maths lesson we collected our results together using tallies in a frequency table. Then in ICT we represented our results in bar and pie charts.

Learning about other religions
Allah is one. Remember everyday. Pray 5 times a day. Allah has no partner. He is one. He is holy and special. Respect Allah when you touch the ground. Respect other faiths.

Medieval super sentences
The short, scared, ugly knight rode his horse.
Slowly, steadily, lonely the knight rode his horse.
Walking, whispering, cantering the knight rode his horse.
Can you think create your own super sentence?

Poetry on being homeless
Can you imagine being on the street?
lying there with nothing to eat,
begging for food each day and each night.
Will anyone listen to our moans and cries?
By Isabella
Lying there on the street,
nothing there to eat.
I beg and beg
No one will share a bed.
There is a tear running down my cheek,
Will no one speak?
By Mia
Who will listen?

Who will help?
Who will help?
Who will give?
Who will give?
Who will live?

Anti-Bullying Week
This week is anti-bullying week and the children have been learning about what to do if they experience bullying. In year 4 the children have used power point tools to create a poster to help children know what to do.
They also learned about a website, cybermentors.com, run by an army of young people working to keep their friends and peers safe by giving advice and support.

Telescopic text
Yawningly, George stirred his ugly looking, horrific medicine.
George stirred his medicine and it was white as snow.
Yawning, I stirred the poisonous medicine, which was as deadly as a dart with a porcupine spike.
George quickly, stirred his gloomy, fabulous, brown, lumpy and sticky medicine,which was making a horrible stench as horrible as horse droppings and as green as bogeys.
George, as slowly as an elephant walking stirred his marvelous medicine.
Slowly, George suspiciously stirred his medicine, while glaring at his sick, old grandma.
George stirred his unbelievable medicine like crazy, in fact, he was mad like a maniac.
George gently stirred his magnificent, browny, icky, gloomy medicine, which tasted worse than mud and gone off bread.
