Grammar Boy! (and his team of Grammar Experts!)

On Friday we were learning about Fronted Adverbials.  We have written some fantastic sentences - and had some SUPER children who really shone! Well done!

Fronted adverbials describe HOW, WHEN or WHERE.

As fast as he could, the boy raced to the finish line.

Next week, we've got Parents Evening.

Deep in the heart of the woods, lives a small green troll with his small green family.

Can you comment and add any more, 4A?



Viking Jewellery

We have been designing and making our own Viking jewellery.  We used clay to shape the beads and have left them to dry.  I can't wait to see what they look like when they're finished!



Liquid Race!

In Science we are studying Solids Liquids and Gases! We have been investigating how the particles are different - closer together in a solid than a liquid.  We had a liquid race - to see how fast some liquids would move.  We use water, vinegar, salad cream and golden syrup.  We discovered that the water was really speedy and had an average time of 1 second! But the salad cream was the slowest. We were quite surprised as many of us expected the syrup to be the slowest.  We used the word 'viscous' in our explanations.  Can you remember what it means 4A?





Night Lights

In Design Technology we had to design and create our own nightlights. We used our knowledge of circuits from our work in Science and we glued, cut and created (some of us even paper mached!)
We tested our nightlights behind the stage in the dark! Mrs Aris was really proud of the cosy glow they made.

Times Table Rockstars!!

Today we launched Times Table Rockstars in 4A.  We were really excited to choose our rockstar names and to design our avatars.  The whole class has now set their baseline score - now we can practise and get faster and faster and more accurate!! Go for it 4A!  (We will be celebrating good scores and efforts with certificates and prizes!)


Multiplying Magicians!

We have been practising multiplying in Maths! We have looked at different ways of finding out the answers to times tables, using what we know.  Some of us even applied our knowledge to multiply decimals! Well done 4A!

Electricity!

Our Science topic this half term is Electricity.  We began our topic by taking an 'Electricity Walk' around school to see which appliances we could see that use electricity!  Then we looked at what the electricity produces - sound, light or movement.

We have written some super enquiry questions which we will be investigating.

Some of these we can answer using secondary sources.

Do you know how many bulbs are in the Illuminations?  Who invented the first light bulb?  When?  What is inside a light bulb?
