Year 4

Class 9 did some Oracy in Maths this week. We focused on the listening strand, picking out key information to solve problems. We worked in pairs to solve one and two step addition and subtraction word problems. 

We firstly came up with an action to identify whether we needed to add or subtract…

In Class 9, we have continued our English work on playscripts. 

This week we have worked in groups to write our own scripts, based on Oliver Twist, before performing it to the rest of the class.

Class 9 had an oracy lesson in History. 

We focused on the cognitive strand, working in groups of 3 to debate whether school was better in the Victorian times or now.

Class 9 had a fabulous time at Armley Mills today! 

We spent the morning at the Victorian school - our school master was very strict! We particularly enjoyed using the pens and ink to practice our writing. 

We then spent the afternoon exploring the museum - the cinema room was our favourite!…

We have been developing our word processing skills in Class 9 - this week we have been editing text using bold, italics, underline and alignment. 

We’ve also learnt how to undo if we make a mistake.

We did an Oracy lesson in English in Class 9 this week.

We worked in groups to answer inference questions about Chapter 3 of Oliver Twist, building on each other's ideas using phrases such as "I agree and would like to add..." and "I understand what you are saying, but..." 

In Maths, Class 9 have worked in pairs to flexibly partition 3- and 4-digit numbers, using place value counters.

Class 10 were very excited to choose their books from the book shop today.

They all got some fantastic books and they can’t wait to take them home and read them. 

This week in science we have been researching endangered animals. 

We worked in pairs to find out about their habitats, what changes have made them endangered and what we can do to stop them becoming extinct. 

We then used our oracy skills to present the information to the rest of the class,…

Class 11 have enjoyed practicing creating clay pots. 

They tried two techniques, the coil and the pinch pot. 

Well done! 

Congratulations to everyone who took part. They came in first place beating 8 of the local schools.

There were some fantastic displays on the track in the warm heat.

Well done!

Class 11 went on a bug hunt and was identifying our school garden.
