Good afternoon Year 4!
Highlights of the week:The children have arrived back in school fully refreshed and full of energy. The brief arrival of the snow caused a lot of excitement this week for both the class and the adults! This week the children have really enjoyed receiving letters from their new Pen Pals! The letters came from Grade 5 in an American school in North Carolina. The class really enjoyed learning about the similarities and differences in their schooling and wrote replies to explain what life is like in the UK for children their age, as well as asking questions about life in America.
