We became trainee archaeologists for the morning and investigated bones and skeletons, to try to decide what kind of animal they used to belong to! We gathered ideas to help us with the non-chronological reports we are going to write about extinct animals.
The children had fun in Mrs Kingswell’s Skills Academy group, using chalk to create pieces of art.
This week we have done active learning in PVPG where we sorted sentences where ‘and’ was used to join independent clauses, and sentences where ’and’ was used to join subjects. Mrs Kingswell’s Maths group went into the learning hub to practise adding with regrouping. We solved problems and checked our answers by scanning the QR codes.
Well done to all the year 4 children who took part in the two week swimming crash course, you worked so hard and you represented our school really well. Special shout outs to all the children who managed to swim 25 metres, especially those who started the course wearing swimming belts. Also, to those children who were scared on the
Year 5 shared the non-chronological reports they had written about being in year 4 with us. Then we read our non-chronological reports to the children in year 3.
Year 4 went into the halls and learning hubs and worked together to solve maths problems. We collected letters and tried to work out the secret message. The message was “Maths is fun in year 4.”
This week we have written non-chronological reports about Year 3. We went into the learning hubs to gather ideas before we planned and wrote our reports. We looked at the blogs from last year to help us. We are looking forward to sharing our writing with the children who are in year 3 now.
Thank you to all the children for making our year 4 Sports Day so much fun. Thank you also to all the adults who came to support us, the children loved having you all there cheering them on!
