Ruby Class (Year 4)

 

 

 

Happy New Year

Ruby class have settled into the New Year with our new class story, Beowulf by Michael Morpurgo. We have particularly enjoyed basing our writing off this story. Have a read of our character descriptions.

We have also enjoyed a visit from the Young Shakespeare company, performing Hamlet. After the session, we had a think about the meaning behind some of the phrases in the poem performed by old King Hamlet. Have a look at some of our illustrations of the line "The serpent that did sting thy father's life now wears his crown."

 

 

 

In History, we have been invested in learning about the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings. We learnt about the longships the Vikings used to sail over to England on. We had a go at sketching and labelling our own longships.

We have been exploring colouring mixing in Art to help make paintings look 3D. We used our skills to paint some Anglo-Saxon artefacts, using tints and shades to show 3D effects. 

 

Ruby Class have had an excellent start to the new school year!

We have written setting and character descriptions based on our story so far. 

   

In geography, we have thoroughly enjoyed exploring maps and globes to find out what we can learn from the line of latitude and longitude.

 

We have thoroughly enjoyed learning all about Italy in our Geography and English lessons. Here are some of our persuasive leaflets we wrote about Incredible Italy!

 

We celebrated anti-bullying week by wearing odd socks to school. The theme of the week this year was 'choose respect'. We wrote acrostic poems to share what we think respect means.

 

  

 

We have loved being outside at forest school this term. We have had great fun building dens, playing on the cable reels, tidying up the forest school area and enjoying the art and craft activities.
