Class 4 spelling patterns

The spelling patterns we are learning in Class 4 this week are:

Year 3: long ‘ai’ sound, e.g. rain, container, brain, strain

Year 4: adding the prefix ‘im’ before root words starting with ‘m’ or ‘p’ e.g. immature, immortal, impolite, impatient

What’s in the box?

As part of our topic on Light, we used a feely box where we had to describe a mystery object in the box to illustrate the effect of darkness and how we need light to see objects. The descriptions given to describe each object were fantastic and we heard some excellent scientific vocabulary being used to describe everyday objects including: a glass jug, a cork coaster, a foam ball, a plastic vehicle and even a metal curtain tieback!

We definitely have some super scientists in Class 4 and we even started to talk about the pupils in our eyes and how they increase in size to let more light in. Well done Class 4!

Class 4 role play

Today in English, we read the part of our class novel, Seal Surfer, where the seal pup is nowhere to be seen. We role played what Grandfather and Tom would have felt looking out to sea and what they might have said to each other.
