It is the end of September, which means Class 4 has been together for an entire month now. Where does the time go?


We've started a new unit in English on Discussions, which has led to an exploration of what a discussion is, especially the idea of taking a side of an argument. So we had a conversation about what an argument is (it's not a fight) and how a person would take a position on an argument. Then I had each child make an argument to the Intergalactic Council telling them why they would make the best superhero in the class.


We looked at different vertebrates and invertebrates in science, exploring the differences between different birds and how their feathers work, and then having a go at drawing some creepy-crawlies like worms and beetles.


This week was all about Ancient Egyptian creation myths and gods in History. We had a look at two competing myths from Upper and Lower Egypt and compared them. Then we looked at some of the most important Egyptian gods of the pantheon and why they were important.


We finished up our Esio Trot artwork for St Leonard's church (please drop by and have a look, but we only had room for some of the artwork in the display). We then started on blending colours together and looking at different types of shading.


Please remember that Spelling and times tables tests are every Thursday, and the children should practise every night. Also please remember to fill in the reading logs. Let's give the children credit for the reading they are doing.
