In class 4 Mrs Taylor has been sharing her love of reading with everyone! Each week a child has been taking home the reading bear and a bundle of goodies to enjoy when enjoying a good book at home with our loved ones. They then add to our reading journey sharing our favourite parts of the story and telling the class all about it! Everyone can't wait for their turn. Lower Key Stage 2 spent a couple of wonderful days visiting the national coal mining museum, which linked well with our work on rocks, how they are formed and how they are mined. The children were very well behaved and had a thoroughly enjoyable and educational experience. As part of our Jubilee celebrations we all got involved in a range of traditional and modern playground games. If you look closely you may see Mr Gledhill under the parachute. As part of our DT unit for this term we tasted and evaluated a range of healthy foods from around the world. In addition to this, we all made bread from scratch. We really enjoyed kneading the dough and shaping our miniature loaves. The bread was soft, fluffy and delicious when we tasted it.
Class 4 joined in with the madness that is Odd Socks Day in support of Respect. Bentley has been showing off some hidden skills in class this week. It turns out that we have a talented sculptor among us. He representation of an Easter Island Head is amazing. Well done Bentley!!
On Friday, the children were challenged to make a model of the different states of matter using a cup, rainbow drops, tin foil and sellotape. In groups, the children made a model of a solid, a liquid and a gas. As you can see, they all did really well in creating the models and enjoyed taking a few rainbow drops home too! We are looking at how to multiply and divide in our Maths sessions this term. On Thursday, we looked at how to divide by sharing. The children were given different amounts of bean bags and we had to share them between the hoops. All of the children were thoroughly engaged and this helped them back in the classroom where they continued to use sharing to divide. All week, Class 4 have been looking at what makes a healthy, balanced meal. We designed our own pizzas and yesterday, we made them. Most of us tried something new too! Check out how we did it below in our video. Today, Class 4 took the opportunity to go outside and participate in some partitioning races whilst learning about 3-digit numbers and their values. We hope you like our video. |
