When we went back to our experiment, we needed to find out the results. There was no choice, we had to taste and smell each piece of chocolate to compare the strength of the onion on our senses! At least we got to taste a little bit of non-onion tainted chocolate first to make a fair comparison!
Year 3 wrote up their investigation in a formal style and Year 4 documented it as a video. We hope you like our photos and videos below.
Year 4

In literacy this week, Year 4 completed their final draft of a diary entry. We have learnt that redrafting is an important part of writing to ensure that we learn from our mistakes and complete the absolute, best learning we can possibly achieve. We then went on to learn about poetry where we particularly looked at haikus. It was fun to try and spot the haiku 'mistakes' and re-write them to fit the Japanese poems rules. Although haikus are very short forms of poetry, they can be quite tricky as counting the syllables per word and line is very important. We hope you like our poems below.
| This week in maths, we have been consolidating our coordinates learning. We have practised writing and using these to play real life battleships, move shapes around a grid and locate countries, cities and towns in an atlas. To demonstrate our understanding, we then created our own maps based on cool places such as LEGOLAND, Disneyland and a wildlife park! We had a lot of fun designing these and creating questions for our friends to answer using their maths skills. |

Year 3 have been taking a closer look at the characters and story setting of the Gingerbread Man. They have made drawings of what they imagine the setting of the story would be like. After brainstorming their ideas of one of the characters in the story, they wrote detailed descriptions of their chosen character. Have a read of one of our learner's lovely description of the old woman from the story. "There is an old little lady called Cara. She is 58 years old. She has a world record in cooking. She has dry lips, grey glasses, curly white hair and is beautiful. She likes to sing, dance and smile. She runs very slowly because she is very old. She likes to knit for her children, grand children, friends and her wonderful, kind husband Jack who is a professional wood cutter." | In maths this week we have been learning about angles and shapes. We have been discussing what irregular and regular 2D shapes are and what makes them regular and irregular. Not only this, but we have been looking at the angle family. We have been looking at the angles within shapes and have been doing some 'angle yoga'. We have met the angle family! Mr Obtuse, Mrs Right and baby Acute have all been a great help when learning about angles. |
I have been applying my cooperation, communication and literacy skills when writing a team script for a science experiment. I have been resilient when learning ways to deal wit challenges in art and Spanish. | I have been resilient when learning about coordinates, by moving shapes across a 4 quadrant grid. I worked really hard when becoming an 'old lady' in a role, as I do in all of my learning. |
Next week we will be talking about...Family.
Who is part of your family?
Who do you live with in your house?
What are your favourite things about your mum, dad, grandpa, aunty…?
What activities do you like to do best with members of your family?
