As Mathematicians we are learning to represent numbers in a wide variety of ways. We can talk about, compare, order and reason about number problems because we have a great understanding of place value. We ❤️maths.

Gymnastics
We have loved collaborating with our friends to create sequences of movement that challenge our skills and increase our body strength. We’ve enjoyed performing to each other, giving constructive feedback and having lots of giggles along the way.
Rugby
The super Richard Squires from Hull FC has been coaching us (and our teachers) over the last few weeks. We have made massive progress from learning how to hold and pass the ball in week one to playing a game of tag rugby today! We can not wait for next week to have an In-house tournament of 3Y v’s 3H! AND and interschool tournament next Tuesday! Whoop!
Hello and welcome to my blog.
What our pod is about
This term our pod has turned into Willy Wonka’s Chocolate factory. It’s so cool.
English
In English we have been learning about Charlie and the Chocolate factory, we have read the book and learned about the Grandparents. We have been using adjectives, noun phrases and adjectives to describe people. Today we invented our own funny Oompa Loompas ready for the new chapter of the book that we are going to write.
Guided reading
In guided reading we are answering questions about Charlie and the chocolate Factory. Today we wrote a letter to Willy Wonka from Prince Pondicherry to thank him for the chocolate palace that he built. It made us all feel very hungry!
RE
In RE we are learning about memories and remembering using a memory box, a scrap book or a diary. We are all bringing items in to talk about with Miss Stewart and put in our year group memory box.
Science – Sound
We have been learning about sound and vibrations. Sound is made by a vibration, the bigger the vibration the louder the sound. The sound travels in waves, it hits your eardrum and it travels all the way through your inner ear and it sends messages to you brain. A few days ago we filmed a ourselves presenting a program about sound and Mrs Hebden thought it was great because we used the science vocabulary.
Today we were scientists and we investigated how sound travels, we used paper cup telephones to find out if the longest, medium or shortest string was the loudest. This was really good fun and we discovered that the shortest string was the loudest phone because the sound waves didn’t have to travel as far. Issac said “Its like a car that runs our of petrol when it gets far away.”

Today our Year 4 Historians made a visit to the Hands on History museum to learn more about the Amazing Ancient Egyptian Civilisation.
We began with a tour of the Egyptian Quarter. We were able to look at a range of artefacts that Historians have used to conclude what life in Egypt must have been like and what was important to the Egyptian people.
Many artefacts dated back to the 1920’s when the world was gripped with interest in Howard Carter’s Dig! Interestingly, these artefacts date back to the time of when Lil lived in our Guided Reading Text, The Secrets of the Sun King by Emma Carrol.
Here we learned that some artefacts on display were replicas of the originals and others were original artefacts that were donated to the museum…. such as the Mummified Body!
We silently entered the dimly lit room and peeped through the thick glass casing to wonder who the person was that now lay mummified before us in a Museum in Hull! It was very exciting!
After the tour, we worked in teams to handle, examine and discuss a range of artefacts. We were able to make informed predictions as to what that artefact told us about life over 3000 years ago.
Finally we looked at the Rosetta Stone and learned how this significant discovery helped us to decode the magnificent Hieroglyphics that the Egyptians cleverly used to communicate.
