Croeso nol – welcome back to the year 4 blog.
In literacy, our non-chronological reports are done. We enjoyed learning about the animals and really showed how excellent we are at writing. We used: our note taking skills to help us write ‘roaring’ not ‘snoring’ sentences; we added technical vocabulary; rhetorical questions; figures of speech (similes and metaphors); alliteration and some fantastic images. We had a roaring experience!
In maths we have done a bit of everything with numbers. We have added, subtracted, multiplied and divided. It’s been exhausting! We have also done lots of mental maths and are smashing TTRockstars.
In topic this week we have learnt all about how the Tudor family become the rulers of England and Wales. The Tudor family (The house of Lancaster) battled the Yorkist King Richard III’s army at Bosworth Field and defeated them to take the throne. King Henry the VII became King of England. We also used ICT to learn about his son – Henry VIII. Henry had six… yes that’s… SIX wives! We created databases on J2Data to learn all about the wives. We loved using the Chromebooks. We had a Tudor-tastic time 🙂
The weather has not been good this week but we are now great at talking about Y Tywydd (the weather in Welsh). We definately need to learn ‘Mae hi’n bwrw glaw’ because it has been raining nearly ALL WEEK.
One of our favourite parts of the week was starting to watch Newsround at the end of every day. It is really interesting and will help us learn more about the world around us. We also enjoyed doing our Christmas cards this week. Although we though Mr Hazel had gone mad because its only October!!
Next week promises to be another fab week. You know where to come to hear all about it!
