Dictionaries!
Today the year 4's got to go to the hall with Barbara. We were excited to see our visitors. The Rotary Club gave all the children their own dictionary to help them with their learning at school. We can't wait to use them in class.

The first time I...
We have been writing about a moment when we did something new.
On one sunny Sunday I went to the airport. I got on the plane and I sat on the seat. I put the belt on. It was about to take off and... boom! It was very fast, it was as fast as a cheetah. It whooshed up. It was very fun.

Step three. Put your two seeds in the big cup.
Step four. After that put eight more cotton balls on the top so that the seed can get warm.
Step five. Put some blue tac on the bottom of the cup so that when you open the window it won't fall down. Don't forget to write your name on the cup.
