Another exciting week...

Hi, this is class 4D. We have loved our topic 'Blood, Bones and Gory Bits', but now it has come to an end.

Look, we put a sample of the poo we made, on our display (in a bag).  Some people touched it!!

On Monday we finished making our body posters, we also put some infomation on them about the different organs in the body. These are the plasticine models of all the organs we made, last week.

Here is one of our posters with all the information on:

On Wednesday we had two visitors from Solihull Hospital to talk to us about he heart. They brought in some real Stethecopes and we got to feel our heart beat with them. Then we got to colour in and label a picture of the heart. They brought in a model of the Human Body with all of the organs inside.

Then on Thursday, we had a spelling test on words with IGHT and ITE. Then we went to see the year 5 travel fair to see the work that they have done.

Today we had an assembly and then maths. In maths we played math bingo with squared numbers for example: 4 squared = 16. This afternoon, we are watching Frankenweenie to finally finish our topic
Blood, Bones and Gory Bits.

After half term we are starting a new topic called Pharoahs.

Watch this horrible histories clip about Cleopatra:

Now watch this clip about mummies:

            

Come back after half term to read more.  Have a nice half term!  Thank you for reading all of our posts! Please leave a comment.  We like to read them.                         

Great Term

Great term

 

Today we had visitors from Solihull Hospital.

They told us about the Heart
 We leant:

your Heart is the size of your fist and your Heart is on the left hand side.We got to listen to our heartbeats with stethoscopes.

 

Spelling



First thing in the morning 4D practiced their spellings of -ite and -ight.

We made a list of -ight and- ite words. We did 10 words on a whiteboard and put them into funny sentences, we also played a spelling game.

 

 

Another spooky week from class 4D.  

We described a sinister Graveyard and here are some of the words we

came up with...

 

gothic clouds

isolated
sinister

eerie
crows squawk viscously

ghostly
dead of night
shiver
spine-tingling
 

 

Maths

 

In  Green maths set we were learning

about line graphs we had lots and lots of
fun.

Amber maths set have been doing symmetrical shapes, they

were seeing how many lines can you get into a

shape.

 



Our mysterious day

04/02/13 Our mysterious day! Hello, today we walked into the mysterious classroom of 4D and found a gravestone in the middle of the room (not real, but realistic)and we found decomposed leaves on the ground. (A.M thought that he had died and ended up in a graveyard, but then he felt his pulse and luckily he was alive!!!) We came up with sinister ways to describe this horrifiying graveyard such as: echoing foot steps, blistering wind, irregular shapes of gravestones, smell of dead corpses, beheaded birds and decapitated crows, tangled bushes, screeching branches, dim fog, crunching leaves underfoot, crows squawking fiercly. Listen to the sounds we made:

That was some of our sinister day, hope you like it! By A.M and C.O

Frankenweenie Week

Hello again, Class 4D are back to fill you in on last week! At the beginning of the week, we watched two different movie trailers of Frankenweenie. They definitely grabbed our attention because they were so dark and sinister, with dramatic music playing throughout. Then we worked in groups to write a voiceover for the trailer. Listen to some of them below and tell us what you think... We used lots of exciting vocabulary, including: beloved, heartbroken, tragic and chaos.

Later in the week, Forest School Group B pretended to be BBC News reporters, interviewing different characters who had seen the supposedly 'dead' dog, Sparky, around the neighbourhood. Here is a clip of an interview with Mrs Bottom, who was very shaken up after her sighting of the dog, she struggled to tell us about it!  Click on this little cross here:
