We have now started to read 'The Suitcase Kid' by Jacqueline Wilson.

We have been thinking about the different relationships between the characters.
Check out the author's website

 

We were reading some more of the Ironman when Mrs Mather interrupted us and said that an unusual object had been discovered in the school field! Year 4 were first on the case and went out to investigate what it may be! Some of us thought it may be the Ironman’s ear or a piece of the space bat angel! We were very careful and have sent it off for DNA testing!

We completed police witness statements, interviewed an eye witness and wrote up newspaper articles.

February was a very busy month!

Autumn Term

In Maths we have been playing cards!

After our debate on windfarms we did a 'Rope of Opinion' again- a bit like a tug of war.
We showed on the rope what we thought about wind farms. The bottom . The pictures show our opinions before the debate. Did your opinion change?

After the debate... All positive!

Here we are debating.
Below is the rope of opinion before the debate.

Harry Potter even helped use with our maths!
