Jolly children excitedly waiting
for the big red man
who brings you presents
and drinks your beer!
Small children wondering
where he might be
and most of all wondering
what he will bring.
In the decorated room
Children wait
Wondering will he be late?
Last Friday, Year 3 and 4 visited Magna Science Centre. We had a fantastic day exploring the earth, fire, water and air zones, as well as a really exciting workshop about solids and liquids. We will be writing some recounts of our visit, but firstly, here are some pictures of our day!
This week we have a photograph. It was taken by Pam O’Brien on Inis Oirr on the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland.
Really be as creative as you can and try to use all 100 words.
Here in the UK we definitely have a late autumn with golden coloured leaves finally falling from the trees. They are making wonderful carpets for us to walk on or ‘scuff’ along in! I am using this for your writing this week. Please make sure you use the prompt as it is written. The prompt this week is:
…but as the leaves rustled…
Some of you have only been writing a few short sentences. Do try to make sure that you use all 100 words.
The form will close on Saturday 29th November.
Today is Children in Need Day and to raise money, Year 4 have paid a pound to bring in their own toys to play with. They are having a lot of fun and it is great to see the children all playing such a variety of games together, such as ‘Fishing Game’, ‘Pop to the Shops’ and ‘Kerplunk’!
Here are some pictures of our day:
Just look at how hard Year 4 were working today! This photograph was taken during maths, while we were doing some work on perimeter. 
Later in the day in literacy, we discussed what makes headlines effective in newspaper reports. What different techniques of writing can we use?
What type of technique does the writing below use? How do you know?
There was drama on the playground earlier this week, when a goose flew onto the playground! Unfortunately, it caused an early end to playtime, but we were all very excited about our visitor! Although the RSPCA were called, the goose finally flew away by itself. Perhaps it got lonely and just wanted some friends!
Does anyone know what type of goose it was, and any information about it?
Hello Year 4, here is the new prompt for the 100 word challenge. Don’t forget just how important punctuation is – check your work carefully and you could also ask an adult to help check your spellings!
The prompt this week is 5 words. They must all be used in your writing but do not need to be in this order. If you can highlight them in some way so that Team 100 can see them, it would certainly help! They are:
Broken Green Swimming Cat Lifted
Remember to use your imaginations! 🙂
On Thursday morning Year 4 performed our first class worship of the school year. Our theme was Jonah and the Whale, and we performed a role play, as well as talking about the messages of the story.
The children were all fantastic and read and acted their parts brilliantly. I am so proud of the hard work they put in and we had great feedback from parents, staff and children other classes!
Well done Year 4 for all your hard work!
