A Whole New Year!!

Hi all!

This is the first post for our new year group. A big HELLO from Mr. Sumner and the newly named Mrs. Kind. I think Mrs. Kind is probably the best name for a teacher ever, it souns like it belongs in a Roald Dahl book.

Hopefully we can put pictures on here again now. Watch this space…

Senses Poetry Y4B

During school grounds week, we went to the school field to record what we could see, hear, touch and smell. Back in the classroom we used our poetry skills to expand the imagery. We then taped different pieces of coloured paper to our tables and used charcoal and graphite sticks to create images suitable for our poems. After that we used handwriting sessions to write them out neatly before finally copying them onto accetate so they could be glued over the images.

How many daisies?

During school grounds’ week, my class were sent out to see who could find the most daisies in one square metre of the field. The method helped us revise right angles, properties of squares, problem solving (there were not enough metre sticks for four each so the children devised to use a 4m length of string), measuring and data handling. We then made daisies to represent our findings as a bar chart.

Here are some photos of our days work.

Video Advert Homework

The children have had the Vye personal computers this term and they were asked to make adverts.  I really enjoyed all of these and would like to say thank you to my class and their families for their hard work and excellent adverts.
