Thank you very much 

Thank you very much 

That's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me 

I may sound double Dutch 

But my delight is such 

I feel as if a losing war's been won for me 

And if I had a flag, I'd hang me flag out 

To add a sort of final victory touch 

But since I left me flag at home 

I simply have to say: 

Thank you very, very, very much 

Thank you very much 

Thank you very much 

That's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me 

It sounds a bit bizarre 

But things the way they are 

I feel as if another life's begun for me 

And if I had a cannon I would fire it 

To add a sort of celebration touch 

But since I left me cannon at home 

I simply have to say: 

Thank you very, very, very much 

It's in the singing of a street corner choir 
It's going home and getting warm by the fire 
It's true, wherever you find love 
It feels like Christmas 

A cup of kindness that we share with another 
A sweet reunion with a friend or a brother 
In all the places you find love 
It feels like Christmas 

It is the season of the heart 
A special time of caring 
The ways of love made clear 
It is the season of the spirit 
The message, if we hear it 
Is make it last all year 

It's in the giving of a gift to another 
A pair of mittens that were made by your mother 
It's all the ways that we show love 
That feel like Christmas 

It is the season of the heart 
A special time of caring 
The ways of love made clear 
It is the season of the spirit 
The message, if we hear it 
Is make it last all year 

It's in the giving of a gift to another 
A pair of mittens that were made by your mother 
It's all the ways that we show love 
That feel like Christmas 

It's in the singing of a street corner choir 
It's going home and getting warm by the fire 
It's true, wherever you find love 
It feels like Christmas 
It's true, wherever you find love 
It feels like Christmas 
It feels like Christmas 
It feels like Christmas 

It feels like Christmas 

We practised using direct speech, remembering to put inverted commas around the actual words that are spoken.  Can your child tell you what the other rules are?

We have started DecemBAR as part of our efforts to improve using bar models in maths. Each day, the children tackle a variety of questions designed to make bar models more accessible. To learn more and try some of the problems at home, visit White Rose Education's DecemBAR page –https://whiteroseeducation.com/resources/decembar#download

This week, we have not set any spellings.  We did however, run a House spelling competition that every child took part in!  Help your child to practise at home a selection from this term’s learning.

 

This week the children designed and saved their logos that will go on the DT project chocolate boxes.  We evaluated existing box designs and started to think about our own designs, drafting 2, before deciding on our final choice. Next week, the children will use the CAD software to make their own chocolate boxes! 

This week we have been using the interactive Advent calendar produced by the Diocese.  This has resulted in some interesting interpretations on the Bible stories containing ‘light’.  You can use this lovely resource as a family by following this link Light In The Darkness - Primary 

In our main lesson we have been discussed ‘What did Jesus say about God’s Kingdom and why it is good news?’.  We have explored the role of rulers and leaders and pondered a difficult scenario that a leader might have to deal with.  Having read some of the stories of miracles that Jesus performed we also pondered what sort of ruler Jesus was.  Ask your child how He might have done things differently from a traditional ruler. 

Continuing to learn how to play netball, we practised moving around the court using different passes such as chest, bounce, shoulder and overarm but in a game of ‘battleships’ with cones, and it was a lot of fun!

 

Please visit the Cathedral over the next few weeks to visit our Year 4 art project!
