Dragonologists
Dragonologists
The arrival of a dragon egg caused much excitement in Year 4. We went outside to look for evidence of dragon activity and indeed a dragon hunter!
After much research we have become dragonologists and written our own dragon reports.
Dragon eyes

World War Two - Literacy
World War Two - Literacy
Our history project for this term is World War Two.
We have introduced this through the book "The Lion and the Unicorn" by Shirley Hughes. We are doing lots of acting in the role of Lenny and writing letters from his perspective as well as reminding ourselves about the use of conjunctions!
Place Value
In numeracy, we have been revising and developing our skills at place value.
Can you sort out this tricky problem?
Electricity
Electricity
In science we are beginning to look at electricity. We had a fabulous visitor Tracy, from https://www.earthenergyeducation.com/home talking to us about renewable and non-renewable energy. We had great fun creating circuits that light up bulbs and power motors from different light sources.
We also learnt that we have electricity in our own bodies!
Keeping Britain Safe
Keeping Britain Safe
We have been researching the measures put in place to help keep Britain safe during WW2.
We worked with a partner and created a poster to help share our information.

Multiplication
Multiplication
This week we have started our multiplication topic in numeracy.
This is in addition to the times tables practise that we already do. By the end of Year 4 the children should know all of the times tables up to 12x12, giving the answer within 6 seconds. Please help as much as you can with this. As well as using ttrock stars, the link below will takes you to another times table site where the children can play games.

Merry Christmas everyone.
Tank Museum - Bovington
Tank Museum - Bovington
Our visit to the tank museum in Bovington was brilliant. We got scared in the trenches, crawled through tunnels, bought groceries in a shop and stood inside a tank. We tried on soldiers jackets, learned how to march, solute and listened to an air raid siren.
The staff running the activities commented on our impeccable behaviour, attitude and super knowledge.
