This week’s blog task is to write an if, if, if, then sentence about the picture below. Then teach someone at home about if, if, if, then sentences are and get them to have a go at writing one.

Good luck!

As part of our Roald Dahl Day celebrations, we have been reading George’s Marvellous Medicine. We are currently up to where George has just finished creating his new medicine to give to Granny. This gave us an idea of coming up with some medicines all of our own! So using our place value, multiplication and addition skills, we had lots of fun creating some fiendishly new medicines!

We’ve been looking at pitch in science and finding out how different instruments make high and low sounds. This afternoon, the children made panpipes out of drinking straws. They found that the shorter the column of air, the higher the pitch of the sound. 

On Wednesday we were very lucky to have Sophie from ‘Wild Science’ come to visit us. She brought her amazing animals along with her to teach us about Habitats and Classification. We even got chance to hold and stroke the animals whilst Sophie told us about them.

Which animal was your favourite? Did you learn any interesting facts?

After work, Batman always called in at his favourite café in Gotham City. We all have different ways of relaxing; a game of sport, watching television, going for a bike-ride…Batman’s was enjoying a steaming hot cup of coffee whilst reading the newspaper.

Batman looked forward to having an evening off, however evenings off didn’t always tend be that relaxing.

Ring ring…Ring ring…Ring ring…There was a call from the phone behind the counter…

We had a fun filled Maths Day in Year 4 today! This morning way jam packed with place value and reasoning work, all whilst using our brand new maths equipment. This afternoon started with Maths games outside, followed by a Maths inspired art lesson where we created spiralaterals.

If if you want to create a spiralateral at home, you can follow this link. Bring it in to school to earn a dojo!

This place had once been filled with noise, thousands upon thousands of excited fans cheering as they applauded ‘the beautiful game’ being played in front of them.

Now, all that remained were memories. Would this place ever be restored to its former glory?

The scientists huddled around the machine looking perplexed. Their laboratory was buried deep underground, away from prying eyes. Usually their experiments went completely unnoticed, apart from the occasional smell of sulphur or waft of grey smoke that made its way to the surface, but this particular experiment would certainly not avoid the headlines… They were in BIG trouble…

This afternoon, we took advantage of the beautiful weather to take our maths outside. We played a throwing game to help us learn our 12x table. Hopefully we’ll have more glorious sunshine in June and July, and we’ll be able to take more advantage of our lovely school grounds.

Keep practising your 12x table and have a great half term.

The young pup peered down into the icy water below with a growing feeling of trepidation. Only a few days old, she had learnt so much already from watching her mother, but this challenge was her greatest so far.

How would it feel to be submerged? What would she find lurking underneath the surface? How would ever she get back onto dry land?

Questions flooded her mind like a torrent of icy water, but bravely she inched closer to the edge…
