Science Whizz's!

This week in science we have been testing the absorbency of paper. Andrew and Nour were fantastic in creating a fair test for the class to carry out. We measured which of the following papers; kitchen roll, paper towel, newspaper and tissue paper were the most absorbent. Ask your children what we found out!

Lilac do Opera!!

EPOC (English Pocket Opera Company) visited Gateway this week and Years 3 and 4 were extremely lucky to spend an afternoon with them.
The children learnt about what opera is, the different types of opera singing and even how training to be an opera singer is simlar to training to be a footballer.
They found it particularly funny when the opera singer serenaded Miss Marks in Italian!
Some of the children were chosen to perform in our very own opera, 'The Magic Flute,' a few children from the class were chosen and Zaeem in particular had quite a large role to play.

The children had their spelling test today and over half the class got 10 out of 10, they are our spelling superstars.
So well done to
Shahena, Sarah, Tasmin, Majida, Ayesha, Nora, Jessica, Mohammed H,
Mohamed E, Ali, Shanaz, Noori, Alamin, Azmol, Zaeem and Housain.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if the whole class could get full marks next week!
Please help your child to learn their words, this words are getting a little trickier.
