Literacy

We have been continuing with our work on adventure stories this week. We began the week by learning how to make our writing exciting. We talked about our use of punctuation and the use of short sentences and then had a go at writing the train chase scene from Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers in an exciting way. We have also finished reading our class story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and we have done some work storyboarding this ready for a display. We have focused specifically on the structure of an adventure story.

Maths
In our maths lessons this week we have been doing some investigations on measurement and weight. We have investigated whether our feet are both the same length and have had a go at measuring each other and converting the measurements into decimals. We have also been estimating and weighing items and converting these measurements as well as investigating different ways of making 1kg.

Other
Other highlights this week include finding out about the capital city of Spain, Madrid and finding out about some famous landmarks. In science we have continued our work on materials. The children were set the task of giving a presentation explaining all the good things about a material they were given. They had to persuade me that their material was the best by telling me about its properties and what it could be used for. We have also enjoyed learning about the story of Moses in RE and continuing our work on balance in PE.
All in all it’s been a good week, well done Class 4, keep up the hard work!
