Dear 4N Children and Parents,
My name is Miss Nwaneri and your children are in my class for this year. I am delighted to have each and everyone of them! This is our class page and it is going to have lots of helpful links, photographs and videos to help your child make progress outside of school and to celebrate their learning. I will be using both this page and our e-classroom page, so do check on both regularly.
To start us off, here are some sources to help you learn about our class author.

Reading of How to Train Your Dragon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wAeB09o0BI
Many of Cowell's books have dragons and Vikings. The children have researched both topics and used this to create quizzes, design and make dragons and describe them using adjectives. Children, here is a challenge: ask your adults at home one of your quiz questions or share one of your facts.
Celebrating Black History Month (BHM) 2020
Alim Kamara kick started our BHM 2020 celebration! He gave the children lots of fun and food for thought. Please see the photos below.
There are no travel restrictions in 4N! We're travelling across Africa through Dance. Travelling is a great way to learn about and from cultures and histories, so while we're on the continent, the children are learning about the Kingdom of Benin.
Practise some African dance moves:
