Summer 2 Week 3 – TV News Reports

Stars of the Week: Thea and Cameron

This week in Class 4 we have been filming our TV reports about Iron Man! They considered the different camera angles to use, and how to create a temporary auto-cue so they could read off the report. Class 4 recorded all of their clips, and then edited them using the iMovie software. I will attach the videos to a separate post for you all to enjoy!

Summer 2 Week 2 – English

Stars of the Week: Javon and Caitlin

This week in class 4 we have been writing TV news reports. We have based them around eye-witness accounts of Iron Man’s fall off the cliff edge, and how he managed to find all of his broken parts. Class 4 carefully chose ambitious language to keep the news report interesting and exciting, whilst also making sure they included enough description of the story. We will record and edit them next week and then we will upload them to the class blog!

In Geography this week, class 4 have been looking at maps and using their knowledge of 8-point compass directions to explain the locations of different cities in the UK. They worked hard to ensure they were looking at the correct direction and marked the points between each city accurately.

 

 

Summer 2 Week 1

Stars of the Week: Sonny and Rosa

This week in class 4 we have started our new class text – The Iron Man by Ted Hughes. The children had a go choosing lots of ambitious language to illustrate the first few pages of the book. The start of the book describes Iron Man tumbling own a cliff edge and landing on the beach. Sonny and Rosa worked hard to think about how they can illustrate each page and use the words to animate the story. Please enjoy some of our examples below!

Summer 1 Week 6

Stars of the Week: Chiugo and Jomi

This week in Class 4 we have been doing lots of assessments. Class 4 worked very hard on each of these, in order to show off all of their brilliant learning from this year. Well done everyone for being so sensible.

In Science, we have been looking at the different factors that impact our environment, such as through pollution or deforestation. Class 4 researched each topic and then created a presentation which we we’ll watch after half-term.

Summer 1 Week 5

Stars of the Week: Osarenoma and Jessica

This week, in Maths we have continued our work on plotting points, using co-ordinates on a grid, matching the points to create shape and then translating the shape to a different position. Everyone work extremely hard to make sure the correct points were in the correct place and then carefully move each point left, right, up or down.

In English this week we have been writing our ancient Greek myths. We looked at how we can start the stories in the most exciting and engaging way, by including some onomatopoeia and then describing the battle. Osarenoma and Jessica worked hard to include some great onomatopoeia and support it with some powerful adjectives to describe the battle.

Summer 1 Week 3 – Science

Stars of the week: Hudson and Masroor

In Science this week, we have been looking at the different ways to classify living organisms. We discussed the main life processes that every living things requires, and started to compare animals into different categories. We used venn diagrams to help us present the differences between the categories.

This week in Maths, we have been finding the co-ordinates of shapes on a 8×8 quadrant. Class 4 worked really hard to remember that a co-ordinate starts with the x axis and then the y axis – ‘along the corridor, up the stairs’.

 

Summer 1 Week 2

Stars of the Week: Marcia and Mason

Last week in Class 4, we went on a great trip to Hampton Court Palace, one of Henry VIII’s favourite palaces! We explored the different areas of the palace and then we were taken on a brilliant tour around the kitchens by one of the palace cooks. The kitchen had the task of feeding over 450 people twice a day!

 

Summer 1 Week 1

Stars of the Week: Krislyn and Sean

This week in Class 4 we have been telling the time! We looked at how the analog clock is separated into 5 minute intervals and started to tell the time to the nearest minute. Krislyn and Sean paid particular attention to where the minute hand was each time, and double checked that their calculations were correct. Next week, we are going to be looking at solving some worded problems which move time forwards in 5 minute intervals. Please encourage your children to read the time as analog (5 minutes past 4, 25 minutes to 1) and then read it digitally (9:20, 10:15).
