In preparation for writing our story about an explosion of Mount Vesuvius, Class 4 worked together to complete a carousel of activities to find synonyms, similes, metaphors, amazing adjectives, subordinate clauses and describe the senses. We will use these in our stories.

We have been learning about solids, liquids and gases in Science. Our first investigation was to find out if gas has weight. We weighed three different types of fizzy drinks. Then we stirred them until they were left and weighed them again. The difference between the weight when fizzy and when flat, gave us the weight of the Carbon Dioxide inside the drink.

Class 4 have been learning about Conditions in programming. We have started creating a times tables quiz that will check to see if the answer is correct or not and perform an action. It was great fun.

A musical Wednesday afternoon with recorder practise, followed by using actions to find the pulse as part of listening and appraising of music.

All dressed up for our party day!

Class 4 had a surprise this morning when they found a Roman General’s wife, Claudia, in the classroom. She just had time to ‘Romanise’ the children before heading off to Africa to join her husband. She taught them some Latin, dressed them in Roman clothes, showed artefacts and answered lots of questions. What a great day!
