‘Yesterday we had a DT day.  First we finished our Science investigation and in the afternoon made healthy wraps. Last Thursday, we put boiled  eggs in sugary drinks and left them for a week and yesterday we cracked the eggs open and saw what colour the inside of the egg was including the yoke. We used gloves for safety and opened the eggs outside so it didn’t smell so bad. After lunch, we made healthy wraps using chicken, cheese, ham, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber.  We took the wraps home to enjoy.  Finally, we were given a toothbrush and a special tablet that shows you where the plague on your teeth is.  We are going to try and do this at home.  We wrote instructions for how to use the tablet and toothbrush.  We really enjoyed this DT day and can now make healthy snack for ourselves and our families to enjoy!’

In Maths this week, we have been looking at the properties of 2D shapes with particular focus on recognising acute, obtuse and right angles.  Next week, we will continue to learn about the 2D shapes as well as learning to plot co-ordinates and recognise lines of symmetry in a shape.

Our Literacy learning has centred around unpicking the features of a non-chronological report which will lead nicely into our writing for the next couple of weeks on The Iron Man.  For Spellings, we have been learning 5 of the Year 3 and 4 statutory spelling words.

We began to think carefully about the beginning of Advent in Year 4 and particularly focused on the Jesse Tree.  We will be visiting the Chapel on 1st December 2016 to learn further about the Jesse Tree.

Have a restful weekend and we will see you on Monday!
