More of our Incredible Journeys
Y3/4 Summer Term 2021
If you have not seen the other work we have already done on this topic of Incredible Journeys, don’t forget to look at the
previous slides from Y3/4.
We wrote our own quest stories, after reading the
books ‘Journey’ and ‘Quest’ by Aaron Becker.
LITERACY
We loved drawing the maps to help give the hero and heroine help on their quest to save the kingdom.
In Maths, Year 3s have been finding angles in real life objects and thinking of ways to remember the names of some 2D shapes.
MATHS
Year 3 also enjoyed a team game to see how much water they could transport using sponges. They measured the water in their starting and finishing boxes and calculated the volume of water lost on the way!
Y4 enjoyed their work on Capacity!
Year 4 also collected data
from our trip to Filey and created
some graphs.
We have been investigating evaporation.
We filled two cups of water and left one in the sun and
one in the dark and measured the water levels
over time.
There were some interesting conclusions!
SCIENCE
We enjoyed a glorious walk on Fulford Ings to look at our beautiful environment. We wanted to try to find what the air quality is like here and we did this by observing the types and colours of lichen on local trees.
This half term’s topic was Picnics.
We learnt lots of delicious food vocab and used actions to remember the words for
our favourite place to have a picnic!
SPANISH
We finished the year with a super sunny Spanish picnic!
We used only Spanish to ask politely for the different
foods not forgetting to say por favor and gracias!
We loved making our 3Dmodels of the incredible
journey the Nepalese children went on each day
to get to school!
TOPIC
DT
ComputingIn Computing we made our own Podcasts and also had some in depth discussions about e safety.Here are some of our slides from our e safety presentations.
We have been exploring the
question, “What can we learn from religions about
deciding what is right and wrong?”
R.E.
One of our favourite activities was a conscience alley. One person listened to the for and against views of everyone else as they walked down an alleyway of children. At the end, they decided which argument was most persuasive.
R.H.E.This term we have been thinking
about Coping with Change.There have been a lot of changes in our lives to cope with this year. We have discussed the different
ways we have dealt with these and also how we need to adapt to
changes in our bodies too.We loved meeting our new
teachers and thinking about the exciting changes ahead of us next
year.
The Gardening Club gave each class some potatoes to chit and plant for a potato growing competition.It was very exciting when we harvested our potatoes this week and then cooked and ate them with butter and chives (also grown in the school garden).
Lots of children have helped with weeding and watering in the school garden this term and it has been a lovely, relaxing place to be.
Gardening Club
Look at how many amazing potatoes we grew in just
one bag!
I think our favourite day of the term was the day we went to Filey!
We hope you have enjoyed going on our Incredible Journey with
Year 3/4. Good luck to our children who will be heading off on their own incredible journeys
in September in their new classes!
Enjoy your summer holidays x
