Searching for more clues!

17/1/2020

We have been having great fun so far this term, learning about the Ancient Egyptians; especially Tutankhamen!
In literacy, we examined the sensational newspaper articles of the day and discovered the excitement that was generated by this amazing find.
Also, in Literacy, we have been practising writing our own newspaper articles and conducted more research to help us with our articles.
We discovered all sorts about Tutankhamen on ipads.

Class Assembly

27/11/2019

Today we performed our class assembly for our grown-ups at home!

We opened our assembly with our fantastic ukulele performance with Mr Fuller, our music teacher. We performed 5 songs and showed off our skills we had learned over the last term and half!

Our assembly was all about the Romans and what they did for us. We sang two songs 'Just like a Roman' and 'King Caractacus' and entertained everyone with our dance moves.

Everyone really enjoyed it!

THE ROMANS ARE COMING!!!

24/11/2019

We had great fun on Friday with our brilliant Roman visitor. He was an actual Roman Centurion and told us all about why the Romans were so successful for so long and how amazing the Roman army actually was!
We got to dress up like Romans and handle artefacts that the Romans would have used 2,000years ago!
We even learnt how to fight like a Roman soldier!
In the afternoon, we made oil lamps out of clay and games that the soldiers would have used to entertain themselves during long evenings in their barracks.
We were busy all day and learnt so much about life as a Roman.

LENDING A HAND WORKSHOP

13/11/2019

During Anti-Bullying week, we invited our parents in to work with us on some Anti-Bullying tasks using our slogan 'Change Starts with us.' We thought of positive changes we could make and wrote them on our hands.
We had a really good time and all of our parents had a brilliant time too.
It was great fun and loads of our parents turned up to lend a HELPING HAND!

QUIZ, QUIZ, TRADE

13/11/2019

Last week, in Guided Reading, we played a new game to help us learn our new vocabulary. It was called Quiz, Quiz, Trade. We all had a slip of paper containing one of our new words written on it along with the definition. We had to move around the classroom and question each other on the definition of our new words. If we we were accurate, we could trade our vocab cards. It was great fun and really helped us with the new Vocabulary in our Guided Reading text.

In our Science topic we have been looking at States of Matter, solids, liquids and gases.
Did you know that everything that we see, know and touch is either a solid, a liquid or a gas?
To understand this clearly, we pretended that we were particles of matter and formed solids, liquids and gases in groups in the classroom.
Here is what our SOLIDS, LIQUIDS AND GASES looked like!

What did the Romans do for us?

8/10/2019

Year 4 have started to investigate what the Romans brought to our shores 2,000 years ago.
We organised pictures into categories - Roman/non-Roman
We were surprised by some of the things that the Romans brought with them. Did you know that the Romans introduced CATS?
STINGING NETTLES?
GRAPES?
Even FIREMEN?
It was tricky to work out which were the most important things they introduced.
Do you agree with our findings?
We examined each others and found that we agreed on what could be the least important. We didn't all agree with what was the most important. We all gave good reasons for our decisions.
We can't wait to find out what else the Romans did for us!

Superstar Writers in Year 4!

30/9/2019

Today, we celebrated two superstar writers we have in Year 4.

Sebastian and Emerson were chosen for the 'Superstar Writer' award because of their fantastic report about 'Roman Roads'.

Sebastian impressed Mrs Wall with his use of a range of conjunctions in his writing to join and extend sentences and Emerson impressed Miss Myers with his wide range of factual vocabulary and the use of a thesaurus to improve words in his writing. Both boys showed they had been working very hard and listening in lessons as both reports followed the structure using text features such as a title, subheadings and paragraphs.

Well done, boys! Keep up the good work!
