Room 5 have had an incredibly busy start to their Year 4 learning this term.
They have had fun writing descriptions, looking at ways to 'hook' our readers interest and how to choose interesting words when describing something - like a 'Gruncher' from Roald Dahl's
The Minpins and also their 'Rocking School Shoes'! Here is some of our writing -
It's hermit crab eyes are really high but it still can't see above all the smoke he blows. All of his spikes are covered in blood from all the animals, humans, and Minpins he's killed! It's dark as night stomach can squash 14 cows when it lies down. The Gruncher's blue as the sea hooves can run up to 70km an hour. By Jed.
What is your favourite pair of shoes? My favourite pair are black and red and they have got a rubber sole. They have got white lines down the sides. My shoes are super bendy and they have got little holes down the sides too. By Matthew.
We have gathered data, made bar graphs, looked at the mode, range and median and discussed what our graphs tell us. In these pictures we had to count how many books we had in our desks and build our bar graph.
We started topic about Boulcott's past, particularly Boulcott Farm in 1846. We did a 'gallery walk' where we looked at photo's and pictures of our past and came up with 'What I noticed...' and 'One question I have now...'
We thought about the things that make our hearts healthy for Valentine's Day, and came up with great ways to keep ourselves healthy.
The class has been super swimmers over the last two weeks. Well done to all those who have tried really hard to improve, ka pai!
