In maths this week, we have been working on multiplication and division facts. We have particularly focused on ways in which we can find the factors of numbers.
Our 'Pugs' story has become particularly exciting, with Shen and Sika only just escaping from the spaghetti Yetis. The children had great fun inventing and describing different kinds of snow.
This week, the children used the data loggers to measure and record the changing temperature of water. They learned how to record their results as a bar chart and then comment on what they had discovered.
We have also begun to learn our song for the Christmas fair next week. We hope that we will see you all there then.

This week, we have been totally terrified by the huge Kraken that terrorised Shen and Sika. We have written class poems to which we we have all contributed. Here is Giraffes poem:
The ocean king is the Kraken
An unlit figure from out of the ice
Endless purple dark tentacles. Sucking everything,
Gigantic monster.
Deep dangerous eyes
Colossal twisting head
Terrifying, lethal, big and strong.
Huge, threatening, fierce.
Big beak gaping.
Razor sharp.
Chilly as ice.
Strong deadly. glaring up
Twirling twist
Sharp.
Staring pupil red like a ball of fire.
Tougher than wire
Observing from cold ice
An unsafe creature under the sea.
And here is the Lions:
Big, giant,
colossal destroyer, sleeping in the deep,
And every
True Winter, he’s looking for something to eat.
Polar bears
and killer whales are not safe, from this enormous beast.
If they’re
unlucky, they’ll be his next feast.
He is fast
asleep, the Kraken, in the deep.
A massive
monster, a fierce beast,
A legendary
squid.
Giant
colossal eyes, towering tentacles twitching, as strong as a rock.
Killer
Kraken rises from the deep dark hole,
Looking for
his breakfast.
Tentacles
moving, searching, horrifying.
Then, the
stupendous squid, finding nothing, vanishes back into the deep.
In maths, we have continued to challenge ourselves to use
the seven and nine times tables facts to solve problems. We
have also encouraged the children to use 'Hit the Button' to
practice their number facts to 100. Please help them to do
this at home, if you can.
We are now starting to see some of the home learning
around the Pugs of the Frozen North. Thanks for all the
support that you are giving the children.

Thank you to all those who managed to join us for our writing cafe this week. It was so good to see so many parents so keen to engage with their children's learning. The children really enjoyed themselves and appreciated having you there.
In English this week, the children have been looking carefully at the main characters in Pugs of the Frozen North and have used their knowledge of these characters to write a letter about them to the Snow Father.
In Topic, we have been looking at Medieval Medicine and have discovered some of the disgusting and appalling cures that were used to treat illnesses.
Still thinking about potions, in Science we learned about the different states of matter and thought about the properties of solids, liquids and gases.
Some parents have asked about the homework for this term. There should be a copy in their homework book, but I have also attached a copy here :

It has been another really busy week. Year 4 finished off their Roman topic by performing their dramatisation of the Roman invasion of Britain for their year group assembly. They worked hard to learn their lines, performed brilliantly and were so pleased that so many parents were able to get along to see them. Thank you to everyone who was able to turn up.
We have now started our 'potions' topic and have already made our own imaginary potions inspired by 'George's Marvellous Medicine'
You will already have seen your child's homework for this half term. On top of the usual reading, spelling and times tables practice, we have asked them to reproduce the frozen world of 'Pugs of the Frozen North'. This can take any form and can be done at any time. We hope that it is a good opportunity for your child to have fun.
In maths, we have started to think about multiplication and division and have been finding out how we multiply and divide by 10 and 100.
Don't forget that we will have our reading cafe nest Tuesday (12th November) from 9:00am. We would love to see you there.
