Wonderful Work

We started our new art topic Storytelling Through Drawing. In our first lesson, we watched a book trailer that had no words and explored the images we saw, what we thought the story would be about and how the trailer made it feel. 

We took it in turns to roll a dice and write the digits in either the thousands, hundreds, tens or ones column. After we had created our 3 or 4-digit numbers, the person with the larger number was the winner. After that, we swapped to find the smallest number. As a plenary, we ordered the numbers we had found in ascending order. Some of us were very competitive!

We have been learning to count from 1-10 in French. Our Year 4 French experts have been mentoring the Year 3s and helping them become experts!

This week, we have been perfecting our chest passes. We worked in pairs and small groups to work on accuracy, power and technique. 

In Geography, we have been thinking about why most settlements are based around the middle course of a river. We each decided on the most important reason and presented our ideas to the class. 

Today in English, we have been revisiting our knowledge of word classes. We worked together to hunt through a text to find all of the nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs and then worked in pairs to think of some amazing examples of each word class that we could use in our writing. 

We have started our new topic of Rivers in Geography. Today, we explored some photographs of rivers and thought of how we might describe them. Then, we learnt about the process of a river and thought of some brilliant actions to help us remember each stage!
