Fun with words and sentences in 4MR
This week, some children in 4MR were given the opportunity to explore words and build sentences using a variety of games. They loved learning new spellings of words and also sharing top tips with their friends.
A lot of laughter was heard when building sentences too!
Below are some pictures of the children in action

4MR Freya's incredible story writing!
Year 4 are currently being taught how to write African stories in English and have made an incredible start!
Freya's story writing has blown us away with her descriptive language and important theme.
Here is the first half of the story. We can't wait to see how the story develops and ends!
It was a scorching hot day in the grasslands of Africa. The trees were lifeless, offering no shade to the poor animals. Some just strong enough for the smallest of birds to perch on. An enormous elephant stomped by. His skin as dry as a rock. Elephant had two enormous ears, four plump, stubby legs and a small, boring nose.
Poor Elephant got bullied by all the other animals for having such a stubby nose. "Look at my magnificent beak," squawked Vulture.
"Look at my velvety nose," declared Zebra.
Elephant was never allowed to join in with their games. One day, Elephant decided he'd had enough of their mean ways. He was going to prove to them that he was to be treated equally.
He strode into the middle of the savanna to see all the animals lying on the floor, craving water. He had decided what he was going to do. "I'm going to search for water. When I'm back, you will all be begging me for a drop!" he declared. The animals laughed with all the energy they had left. When Elephant had gone, they whispered and chatted about how silly Elephant was.
Elephant had started his journey when he thought he heard some mysterious cackling. He thought it was just him remembering the animals laughing at his nose. Then it got louder. Elephant grew scared. Turn back or keep going - what will Elephant do?
Well done, Freya! A truly incredible start!

Fun with fractions!
Last week, the children in Year 4 started a new maths learning journey. Fractions. There was a look of nervousness among the children when they found out they were going to become masters of fractions, but this didn't last long!
The children spent all last week investigating everything fractions. Right from understanding fractions as parts of wholes to investigating fractions of amounts. They loved using the practical equipment for their investigations and working in teams to find solutions to problems or evidence for statements.
Some children from 4MR even made it on to the #proudofmyselfie display board in the school corridor!
Here are some photos of the children investigating fractions in 4MR. No more anxious faces... just smiles and confidence!

Peer editing in 4MR
This week, the children in Year 4 made Roman oil lamps and then wrote some fantastic instructions on how to make them.
Today, in 4MR, the children worked in pairs to peer edit their work. They were set a mission. It was to turn the standard of their instructions from fantastic to incredible! It was lovely to see the children giving top tips to each other and then acting on the feedback.
Below are some pictures of the children working together. Lots of them were so focused, they didn't even realise they were being photographed!

Celebrating differences in 4MR!
Today, the children and adults in 4MR celebrated their differences to raise awareness of bullying during anti-bullying week.
All the chairs and tables were pushed back and the children gathered in a circle. We listened to how we were all different and opened up about if we had ever felt discriminated against before. The children loved discussing their thoughts and listening to each other.
We learnt that we are all different, but all equal too!
The adults were very proud of the children and impressed with their understanding of the subject.
Below are some photos of the discussion:
