Year 4 have been learning all about the importance of chocolate to the Mayan culture. They looked at how the warriors used chocolate, how the Mayans used it for trade, and how it linked to religion.
Did you know the Mayans thought chocolate was a gift from the gods and was more valuable than gold?
We have practised using subordinate conjunctions this week to add further detail to our sentences. We used roll mats to generate subordinate conjunctions that either had to go at the start of our sentences or in the middle.
Crew Knowles had a fantastic expedition lesson this afternoon learning all about Mayan life. I was really impressed with the independent reading and retrieval skills and all of the information they learned along the way!
Today our Year 4 enjoyed an athletics PE session practising their long jumps. We used iPads and an app called ‘measure’ to measure the distance of each jump. Great work everyone!
Just a reminder that Y4 PE will now be on a Tuesday afternoon and children will require outdoor kit.
Following the Year 6 visit to Crucial Crew on Monday, a useful handout about keeping safe around dogs has been shared. Please share and discuss with your children.
We love the giant sweet wrappers we created as part of our family learning! Everyone worked super hard on them today to improve them further!
We had great fun in family learning this afternoon creating giant sweet packets and getting involved in some Mayan inspired dancing!
We’ve continued to do lots of exciting activities in Hook Week including creating sweets out of paper plates and some beautiful Mayan masks!
Yesterday we were introduced to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which is going to be one of our anchor texts this term. The children followed along with the illustrator Quentin Blake to draw some great Willy Wonkas!
Here are the Y3/4 girls who were victorious at our Trust football tournament recently! Well done again!
