We are reporters!
We have been reporting about the terrifying dragon attack in the Birkwood School playground!!
Year 4
Artefacts and stories…
We are so lucky to have the opportunity to explore artefacts and listen to stories provided by our amazing families that worked in the local mines. We loved looking at real life miners checks that belonged to Grandad when he worked at the local Grimethorpe Colliery! We also got to see a collection of coal and a piece of fool’s gold!
Victorians…
We began our new history topic by looking at artefacts that were used during the Victorian era in the coal mines. We worked as a team to complete an inference grid. We noted our observations and had discussions on what we thought the item was, inferred what it may have been used for and thought about any further questions we had.
Barbara Hepworth…
We have enjoyed exploring facts about our new artist focus for the half term – Barbara Hepworth. We used our new knowledge to create interesting sketchbook pages using annotations and sketches.
Birkwood in Bloom
Our Raised Beds Competition Winners received a very tasty treat to start the term! Thanks to Miss Greenwood for the opportunity to design the class Raised Bed posters and of course the prizes! Happy new term everyone.
Lots of maths achievement badges being awarded in year 4!
We have been working hard on our times table knowledge.
Mount Everest…
We have been making posters in Geography to consolidate all we have learnt about Mount Everest this half term.
We are so creative in Pankhurst!
Look at our amazing Easter creations…
We have loved celebrating World Book Day and our love for reading….
We focused our activities around the amazing book ‘Ruby’s Worry’ by Tom Percival.
The Explorer…
We used drama to act out scenes from our class text – The Explorer. We imagined we were lost in the Amazon jungle and had to go fishing with spears made from flint and animal intestines! This really brought the story to life for us and will help us to write our own narratives .
