Team O'Flaherty (Yr 4)

Last week, Year 4 visited the beach and Crab Museum in Margate. We had a great time exploring the shoreline for evidence of vertebrates and invertebrates. We also managed to consolidate our learning about food chains by finding a plant or animal

On Tuesday, we will be taking part in the Viking Games.

We will be travelling to Upton Junior to take part in the Viking Games. Please can all children arrive as normal for 8:30am on the day of the competition. We will be leaving promptly to walk to the station to catch the train. 

Children should come to school wearing their PE kits, ideally with a t-shirt of their house colour if possible, and wearing sports trainers.

If the weather is hot, please can children bring a hat, wear sun cream and have a water bottle with them. If it turns out to be a chilly day, jogging bottoms and a jumper will be needed.

They will also need a packed lunch as we are going to eat lunch at Upton. If your child is eligible for Free School Meals, they will receive a school packed lunch. 

If you think your child would benefit from reading the social story, it is attached below.

The RAPS talent show is back! It will be held on the last day of term (Fri 26^th May) during school time. If children want to take part, they will need to audition at lunchtime on Thurs 18^th May 12pm. They can perform any talent they wish, in a group or on their own, and can use backing music if they want to. A message will be sent home if they are successful in getting through to the final. Good luck and I can't wait to see all your amazing and unique talents!

You will notice that the spellings sent home this week are slightly different to those normally sent home. These are a practise for the upcoming Viking Trust Countdown competition. 

Next term, there will be a Trust competition where RAPS children will compete against Chilton and Upton to be crowned the Trust 'mastermind'.

The competition will look to challenge all pupils on their spelling and times tables knowledge and see a team from each school go head to head in a Trust final.

 

Please practise these spellings for our spelling test on Friday. These can be practised in any way but please hand back the sheets on Friday as normal.
