Reflective RE session
Over the course of our RE lessons, we have been looking at the guiding question “Why do people pray”. We have learnt lots about Christians, Muslims and Hindus and really wanted to be reflective about why people pray. We created our own questionnaire which we then asked other Year 3 and 4 children and adults. We found that not a lot of children are religious and pray but most thought it would be beneficial if they did.
Super Scottys session
Wow! Mick really put us to the test today as we completed several different challenges. We had to work as a team to complete the variety of strength and fitness activities. We worked super hard to complete each activity but found carrying the tyre above our heads quite tricky.
Challenge crew
In challenge crew, we had to use nonverbal ways of communication to give clues to others about the number on the card. Some ways we did this were by clapping or jumping. We then had to group ourselves into whether our number was low, middle or high. After a few goes we got really good at it.
Challenge Crew
This morning for Challenge Crew we worked in small groups to complete ‘The Group Hop’ challenge. This required us to use our coordination and communication skills. We worked in small groups and began by standing in a straight line, we then placed our right hand on the shoulder of the person in front of us and gave them our left leg/ankle to hold. We then had to see how far we could hop along together without toppling over! We then challenged ourselves to see who could hop the farthest! It was great fun but we definitely encountered a few hurdles! During our debrief we realised that communication was vital and that we had to work as a team to be successful.
Practising our Henri Matisse skills
Today we have been introduced to our new artist, Herni Matisse – he is a collage artist using different shapes and colours. I was impressed with everyone’s collage sticking skills and ripping them smaller to fit.
Grammar
In grammar today the children were looking at preposition.
Building an Ark
Today in our experience lesson we have started to read our new book – All afloat on Noah’s boat. The book starts with Noah building an ark, therefore we all built an ark in our groups just like him. We felt hot, bothered, tired and sweaty.

What can we find in the ocean?
Today, we introduced our Case Study 2 text – Commotion in the Ocean! We made our predictions and talked about what we could see on the front cover, before reading the story and learning all about the different animals that live in the ocean. Once we had read the story, we thought about some of the different creatures and animals we had seen and wether we would find them at the seaside in England, or if they live in the oceans around the world.
