Thank you to all the children (and families) who have worked so hard on creating amazing dragon stories for homework. So many children have been really keen to read these out to their friends at school. It’s great to see how proud the children are of their work, and what exciting stories they have created! Good job, Skipper 4!
The children have loved exploring our new science topic on electricity. We have learned what we need in order to make an electrical circuit, and that batteries produce electrical energy using a chemical reaction. We have explored which circuits do and don’t work and why. In this topic, we will also be learning about conductors and insulators, and how switches work.
We loved sharing all of these with the class. What amazing projects were created by lots of families! Thank you Skipper 4 for all your efforts. We hope you loved making these as much as we loved sharing them with you. Can you see our scary warrior poses?!
We made a digestive system in class. This was brilliant and hilariously gross! Can you remember what happens to our food at each stage of digestion? What functions do the different organs have?
We have learned how to use Logo language to programme in our computing lessons. This is us putting it into practice using Big Trax programmable vehicles. It was great fun. We had to navigate around obstacles and hope they didn’t crash – we had a couple of near misses! It was very exciting.
We have been studying Angie Lewin and designing our own Angie Lewin – inspired art work. This will be mixed media. We have practised using watercolours and are now on to poster paint. We will also be using pen and oil pastel to add line and colour. It’s great fun!
What a lovely start the children have made to Year 4. We have already started learning about the Anglo-Saxons in History, Teeth and Digestion in Science, improving our understanding of place value in maths, considering thousands and 4-digit numbers, and practising some grammar, including nouns, prepositions, and descriptive noun phrases. We are reading The Iron Man for guided reading which has been very exciting to read so far, especially now a Space Dragon seems to be heading towards the Earth! The Year 4s are showing that they can be very sensible, kind and caring. Our class charter is below – we are trying our best to stick to this all the time!
Speaking of dragons, we had a very strange surprise delivery this morning. Here are some photos. Ask your child to tell you all about it!
