We wanted to demonstrate our knowledge and understanding of another language by writing a short introduction and description of ourselves in French. Our descriptions tell our name and age, whether we have brothers and/or sisters, what pets we have and what we like to do as well as eat!

Children in Years 3 and 4 have had fun in French this week learning and practising a new song with some familiar language.

The children in Year 3 have been learning about how to keep safe on the roads from the perspective of a pedestrian, as well as the driver of a vehicle. We will be creating some super posters very soon…watch this space to view our creations.

Some safety advice from Year 3 are:

Always find a safe place to cross.
Never run across the road – always walk.
Use your Green Cross Code -STOP, LOOK, LISTEN AND THINK!
Never drive when you are tired.
Look where you are going – do not get distracted.
Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.

Today the children in Year 4 sang Happy Birthday in French to one of their class mates.

Year 3 and 4 learning journey

The children in Years 3 and 4 recently had the opportunity to demonstrate their calculating skills and knowledge of money.

Miss Stewart raided her cupboards at home and brought in various bags of shopping, filled with different items, which each amounted to a different total. The children had to work together in their table groups to calculate the amount of each bag and identify which denomination of money would be best used to pay for the items. In addition, the children then had to identify how much change would be received once each bag of shopping had been paid for. As you can see from the pictures below the children engaged with the task and had a lot of fun using real life objects in their maths activity. Miss Stewart then got to take her bags of shopping home to refill her empty cupboards!

In Year 4 Maths, the children had to identify and order tricky Roman Numerals. The children then used their calculating skills to solve a range of problems involving Roman Numerals.

Year 4 recently had the opportunity to demonstrate their boxing skills courtesy of a visit from St Paul’s Boxing Academy. The children practised their jabs, hooks and upper-cuts and had lots of fun.

Science in year 3 and year 4 Evidence power point

In English we have been exploring the feelings a soldier in WWII may well have experienced. Children then got into role and conducted a ‘Hotseating’ activity whereby children answered a range of questions from their peers.

Here are some of the questions the children posed:

What do you miss most about home?
What was the worst thing you have seen happen on the battlefield?
Did you lose any friends?
How did losing your friends make you feel?
How did you spend your time between battles?
What food was in your ration packs?
What are your hopes?
