Wow, what an exciting last week we have had!

On Tuesday, we made water rockets and went on to the field with 4T to launch them.  

Following our launching we continued the work in our theme books by writing about how we made our rockets and all about our experiment: To find the rocket that would have the highest launch.  

We measured the time from launch to hitting the ground, then using bar charts we recorded our results.

Please look through the photos which include rocket making, launch afternoon and our work. 

Wow, yet another busy week in Rhino class.

It has been business week in Rhino class, the children have collected and shared ideas of what we could sell, cost all items and priced them to ensure we would make a profit.

During maths we cost up all the stock, decided on prices that would give us a good return, made all the stock and advertising leaflets, and persuaded buyers to part with their money.

In total we have made £100.73 and we are hoping to increase that with a sale of the remaining stock next week…at a reduced price...of course!

A big thank-you to Ben’s grandma who made us some beautiful bracelets.

What a busy term, we have also had Multi Faith Week too.

Take a look at a selection of photos from this term:

Rhino Class have been busy this term.The theme was all about ‘The Great Plague’. 

Worden Park- Wednesday 22nd June 2016

As part of our theme topic ‘Hunted’ we went to Worden park to explore. We investigated the different leaves/trees that can be found. Also, we classified the different buttercups too! After lunch we visited the maze…some of us got lost…but we were found very quickly! A visit to the beautiful walled garden was next, wow there was so much to see; plants, flowers and animals including snakes and chipmunks. In the afternoon, we sat and painted using the skills we had been taught during art in class. Some brilliant watercolours were created.  

British Week in Year 4. 

What a success! 

Today, we sold the things we have made in business week. The children have had a very exciting week plus we made a profit of £57.30! A big thank-you to Luke's mum who had been knitting phones cases and pencil cases for us to sell. 

Well, what a busy day!!

Today in Rhino class we have been measuring, cutting, sewing, braiding, sticking and working together to come up with prices- that was very hard. We had to consider who would buy our items and how much they would pay! We don't know how big shops do it! The costumer is always important and you must consider their needs. 

Well another busy term in Rhino class.

Here are some examples of our brilliant writing-click and take a look. One of our literacy units has been all about a ‘Novel as a Theme’. The novel we have been learning about was called Gulliver’s Travel. We wrote, edited and re-drafted our own stories, before presenting them on Microsoft Word. 

Spring term 1 2016                                                    

As we approach the end of a very busy term, it’s time to think about all the things we have learnt from teeth and the digestive system  (Food to poo) in Science, persuasive leaflets in English, area and FRACTIONS in Maths, also not forgetting the ‘Alien Invasion’ on Wednesday 27^th January.

The children have worked really hard and I am very proud of them all. We started the term with a Class assembly and are finishing it with a very exciting ‘Science Week’. All our lessons have been planned around our Science topic- Sound.  Please ask the children about the things they have learnt this week.

Have a good rest and see you back in school ready to do it all again- Monday 22^nd February.

Rhino Class have been a delight to teach.

Firstly thank you for all the donations brought in for our endangered animal day. We are excited to find out the name of the rhino we have adopted and find out more about how to help save rhinos.

We had lots of fun fundraising by wearing grey and dancing with our cuddly toys at our rhino party.

We are looking forward to an action packed year.

Our first theme is: 

It is all about electricity.
