Topic multifaceted learning

This afternoon we worked on a range of topic areas.

We discussed what it was like to persevere. We decided that persevering was about not quitting or giving in; it was about trying hard to overcome whatever barriers there were that was making our learning tricky.

We wrote information texts about Ancient Egypt including headings, sub-headings, captions and pictures.

We also worked on our watercolour skills. We practised using the brushes in different ways and using different amount of water to create different effects.

I enjoyed all our learning this afternoon Year 4; did you?

Marvellous measuring!

Today Year 4 used their measuring skills using a range of measuring equipment; they used tape measures, rulers, and metre rulers. They estimated as closely to the actual measurement as they could and then measured to the nearest centimetre.

Afterwards, they used these measuring skills in a 'real life problem solving' context. They used subtraction to find the difference between some of the measurements. Well done Year 4; you worked so hard!

Super Maths sequences

We had great fun creating sequences and even added two extra steps to success!!

Our first topic lesson of 2015

Here are some photographs from this afternoons multifaceted learning.

We were recording our observations using a range of techniques; learning about the qualities of living things and discussing barriers to learning and creating a piece of drama around breaking down those barriers.

Represent me

Before the half term we spent time looking at art in Brazil. The children then created their own statues to represent something about them.
