In PE we were learning how to dance.   We were using our emotions to create a dance.

Which emotions would you use to create a dance?

In numeracy we played Being Nasty.  The aim of the game is to try and get the highest number.  You do this by rolling a dice and placing the number in a grid.  You can keep your number or put it in your opponents grid.  My grid was for decimal numbers.

Can you challenge yourself to play and get the highest number?

I’m on a quest to find out how children survived in world war II

Did they still go to school?

Were any schools bombed?

What is evacuation?

Did the war affect the children of Bearwood?

 

Can you help me answer these questions?

 

In numeracy We have been learning about probability.

Can you try and answer this question?

There were 10 counters in the bag one red ,2 yellows 2 blues and 5 greens.

Jane took one red out.  Jo picked out a counter next.  What is the probability of Jo getting a yellow?

In year 4 we are learning about a topic called Survival which is all about World War 2. We might  learn about childrens point of view, how men fought or where women went when the war started. We are going to learn about lots of exciting facts about World War 2.

Would you like to learn about this facinating topic?

In p.e we have been doing dance about world war two.We haven’t done lots of it yet but next this week we will be working on are skills and learning about the music we will be dancing too.

How do you think we will dance?

In 4D and 4P, our new topic is survival. To start us off Mrs Daniels set us a survival challenge , the challenge was to imagine to stay in the woods for one whole day.   First you had to make a shelter in your group ,which was really hard because everybody had there own ideas then still imagining we had to get that shelter done because the rain was coming!

 

How would you survive?

Today 4P were about to start literacy and words started to appear on smart board it said “hello I have lost my bag.  Have you got it? Is it 1944? All of the computers turned off including the smart board and the light switched off and the door shut. We all wrote letters to find out who Joe is.

Who do you think he is and why?

For our new topic ‘Survival’ Year 4 had many curios questions.  We had brilliant questions about human, animals and plants surviving but then in your groups you began to extend your thinking to objects surviving through history.

As a year group you have asked questions about WW2, The Titanic and how people and objects survived.  To begin your learning we asked you to look at mystery objects from the past and think about their purpose and whether they survived.

Can you describe the purpose of these objects?

Today, in morning challenge, we played a game called tiddiley winks.  We used counters to play this exciting game.

We paired up and picked out two small counters and three larger counters.

Some of us played in twos and some played in trios.  Many of us loved playing this game but if you worked  in a three it was harder to win.   We played this on the carpet so then counters wouldn’t go flying in the air.

Did you like playing the fantastic tiddiley wink game?
