Maths - Fractions in the snow!

Year 4 made the most of the snow this morning and explored some practical ways we can show equivalent fractions!

English - Debating and conscience alley

We had a class debate in character as the local villagers to decide what to do about the Iron Man. The class were either for or against trying to help the Iron Man.

We then used a conscience alley to help decide what is best to do next.

We continued our work with fractions and used cubes to help work out fractions greater than 1.

Year 4 LOVED dirty writing to help them with their fractions work! Don't worry, they have been told not to try this at home!

Thank you to all the parents who were able to come to this mornings reading breakfast. The children always love having the opportunity to read to their parents. We hope you enjoyed the refreshments too!

Vocab Safari

The children worked in groups to highlight interesting vocabulary from the first chapter of the book. They then found the definition and included it in a sentence.

Yesterday we looked at a box with lots of strange and unusual objects in it. The children had a discussion and made predictions on where they thought they might be from. Then we read the first page of our new book....

Science - Sound

Continuing our Sound topic in Science, the children made their own paper telephones to help understand how sound can travel better along a solid object. Who needs iPhones!?

Year 4 had lots of fun making sandwiches with Mrs Size as part of their Food Technology learning and discussed the importance of lots of fresh vegetables in our diets.

Area & Perimeter - Estimation

Year 4 didn't let the bad weather stop them being magnificent mathematicians yesterday!

After using their prior knowledge, the children estimated the area and perimeter of the basketball court. We then braved the elements and measured for ourselves!

We were all quite close with the perimeter, but were way off with the area!

The class had lots of fun putting into practice what they had learned about the digestive system. The children loved getting their hands dirty and making their own version of poo!

Health Day - Hand Hygiene

Year 4 had lots of fun today learning about how infection and bacteria can spread and the importance of washing hands thoroughly. The children used a special UV gel that showed how germs can stay on skin unless washed properly, then the children shook hands to see just how far the infection can spread! We used a special UV light to see the germs. We discovered that fingernails are very popular with germs!
