Miles were achieved this week!

What a great start to the week! An incredible effort from Year 4 during the Tribike event. The whole school clocked up 1314 km that day and Year 4 cycled over 200 km in just over half an hour.






A delicious brownie in a mug was baked in House-Keeping club this week. They smelt and tasted delicious (I am told, sadly Mrs Pye and I missed out on the treat this week!)



We have learnt about different types of skeletons and finding examples of animals which have the varying types. We have also been learning about our muscles and made models to demonstrate how they work in pairs and of course the importance of the tendons. Quite a fiddly task, but well worth it - we loved the end product and took them home to demonstrate our knowledge.















Our Vulture Island is finished! We have shown Mrs Brulo (our visiting author who set us the challenge). She was most impressed by our efforts and is convinced that Griff (the vulture in her story) would love to live on our island. 





Super team effort not only to produce the piece but the effort to clean the classroom afterwards - our lovely cleaners couldn't believe what an amazing job the children had done at tidying up after such a creative session using modroc, paint, glitter and a glue gun!

Have a super weekend everybody!

Jumping book worms

In Science we have been continuting to learn about the human body. We undertook an investigation to find out about whether having the longest leg enabled us to jump further.


















World Book Day - in Year 4 we regularly ERIC (enjoy reading in class) and World Book Day was no exception as we could read our new books that we bought at the CPSC book sale.  


We were fascinated by the talk given by our visiting author Judy Brulo. We learnt so much about the importance of vultures for our environment as well as finding out about all the wonderful books that Mrs Brulo has written.







Our visiting author set us a challenge - she asked us to recreate her Vulture Island using various crafting materials.

Challenge accepted! We made mountains, whales, boats and vultures! 




Next we need to assemble and paint it!

Have a super weekend! Let's hope the blue skies continue!
