Leading their own learning for our Blitz learning. Having several questions around the room and an information sheet they got to work working, each question built up their knowledge gradually for them to be able to recall back to me at the end of the lesson.
Class 12 are really impressing me in our reading lessons. This one was focused on vocabulary. Here the children had to match a definition to the correct word. All words have been selected from our focus text. When the definitions were matched and checked they then set to work using the new vocabulary in their own sentences, allowing me to see if they were able to use the words in the correct context. Great job guys!
Parents and carers of Year 4 are warmly welcome to join us for Family Learning on Tuesday 8th October. The session will start at 1:30pm in your child’s classroom (please access school through the school office). To tie in with our second case study, we will be experimenting with digital artwork using iPads. We look forward to seeing you there!
This week we made 3D faces and aimed to apply some of the the techniques we learnt over the last couple of weeks. Loops, folds, curls, fringe, arches and tabs! They all got stuck in straight away and I was extremely impressed with all their efforts this week! Well done guys and thank you for having a go and listening so well!
Today in reading fluency, we did something a little different. I shared with the children the next 6 pages of our book and they had to read through them but they were in the wrong order. Realising that the story wasn’t in chronological order and events jumbled, they then spent the rest of the lesson reordering it and discussing why each piece came next. Well done!
This year, we are working hard to raise money to develop our reading for pleasure library so firstly, we would like to say a huge thank you for all your sponsors from the colour run which will go along way to helping us!
Secondly, we still need your help! We would love for you to help us design the library based on the space we have to use which is the foyer area near the hall.
Please design your ideal library and share your plans with Miss Knowles in person or at [email protected] This is for everyone across school to get involved in! Please send your plans by 7th October.
We can’t wait to see your fantastic ideas which will help us design the perfect library!
This week’s the children had the chance to make their own friendship corded bracelets which they seemed to enjoy very much! Lovely little group and great effort.
Great PE lesson today guys I was really impressed at how you all got stuck in and listened to feedback throughout the session. And I’m sure you all enjoy me failing very miserably at a push up too! Well done again, looking forward to next week.
I was very impressed with our lovely reading lesson today and the children have told me they enjoyed it too! We kick started with a gallery walk where the children had to build a vocabulary bank around a series of pictures. Then, using the text, they had to find vocabulary clues to match up and order pictures from our book so far. And what a great job they did!
Last night I had the pleasure of pinning up lots of wonderful shout outs the children have started to write about each other! Some are so lovely and I enjoyed reading them very much.
We are practicing to use howl and character trait vocabulary within our shout outs so I can’t wait to see what they will look like in a few weeks time!
