Year 4

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.

Today in Science class 11 worked together to create their own questions for a key to sort living things based on their characteristics.

In Computing, Class 10 have used their word processing skills from the first half term to write up their newspaper report about the alien abduction at St Bart’s!

Class 11 enjoyed their trip to Leeds City museum.

They particularly enjoyed seeing the Mummy and looking at the Egyptian artefacts.

Today we developed our oracy during science. 

We worked in teams to retrieve information from hidden research sheets. 

They had to develop their linguistic skills and use appropriate vocabulary to identify organs and describe the functions in the body.
