Autumn Term Concept Maps

Here are some photos taken from before Christmas when our topic was "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." We were using our thinking skills to try and male links between charcters and key events in the story. It was rather tricky to link all twelve words together sensibly, but J3 and J4 did extremely well.

Practical Maths Fun - March 2011

We have been playing lots of doubling and halving games over the last few weeks to improve our doubling and halving skills.

We have enjoyed the harder challenges of doubling three digit numbers mentally.

Some children are looking pleased with their hard work!

Our favourite doubling game was "Find your partner" outside on the yard. However Mrs Marlow forgot the camera that day!

Llancaiach Fawr - The Tudors - January 2011

Here are some (belated) photos of our trip to Llancaiach Fawr in January. Everybody had a fantastic day and learnt plenty of new and interesting facts about the Tudors.

Here we are in the Apothecary.

Here we are sketching the exterior of this impressive manor house.

St Lucia Homework

Hi Year 4,

Hope you are enjoying your half term holiday. I have had a fun day watching Tangled in the cinema and am looking forward to seeing George's Marvellous Medicine later on in the week at the New Theatre, Cardiff. This week in Llancaiach Fawr there are special Crime and Punishment events in case you wanted an idea for a day out.

As we discussed on Friday, your homework for this half term is linked to the new geography based topic we will be starting next week - St Lucia. Please can you research St Lucia and find out 10 facts about it e.g. average temperature? Where is it? Capital city? Population? Language spoken? Famous for....? Famous people? these are just a few ideas. See what you can find out!

Please bring your facts written or printed out to school next week. Be creative! I liked Joe's ideas of drawing a map of St Lucia and writing the facts around it.

Enjoy your break - I'm off to see if I can book a school trip to St Lucia, but I don't think it will be possible!

Mrs Marlow
