This video will tell you more about what is going on in the play.

Romans

In year 4 we have been learning how Roman soldiers dressed.
First we look in non-fiction books to find out more information about what they looked like.
Then we designed our helmets to look like a real Roman soldier.

We used:
-gold pastels
-bronze pastels
and silver pastels.

We also made feathers out of Red,Orange,Blue and purple card, we used gold and silver outline pens to make it stand out.

As well as outlining we also used the pens for making pattens to make it look nice.

Here is a short video for you to see.

Romans and Celts

This week in year 4 in history we have been learning about Romans and Celts. We've been drawing them from a description about them e.g. Romans always shave before a battle The Celts had long moustache's and had long hair.

The Romans lived in Italy and they invaded most of Europe.

We really liked it .

Food chains

This week in year 4, we have been doing science and we have recently learnt what food chains are.(e.g) say like a leaf is eaten by a snail , a snail is eaten by a Duke and a Duke is eaten by a fox so that shows what a food chain is.


Here are some facts about food chains

1. A carnivore is a meat eater.

2. A Herbivore is a plant eater.

3. A primary consumer is a animal that eats plants only and it is eaten by a other animal.

4. A secondary consumer is a animal that eats other animals and gets eaten by a other animal.

5. A producer is a plant who makes food for other plant eaters but the sun is always first in any food chain.

6. A top consumer is a animal which eats other animals but does not get eaten by anything.

our safari parks

In year 4 this week it has been science week,we have been reading a book called the mixed up chameleon.In the book there is a chameleon and when its hungry it turns grey,when its happy it is shiny green.

When the chameleon is on a tree in turns brown to blend in to the trees,or if there is a flower then it can blend into the petals.

When the chameleon spots a fly he turns upside down and then he gets ready to
gobble the fly up! (yummy yummy!)

In the story the chameleon goes to a zoo and he sees all of these animals (e.g) there was a elephant,a fox,a pola bear and there was much more.

The chameleon said to himself what it would be like if he was all those animals,then he stopped and started to think that he had a elephants head and seagull feet.Just then a fly came fluttering along but the chameleon couldn't eat him so the chameleon tured back to his normal form and he he ate the fly up

The End !

woodlice investigation

In science this week we have been learning about woodlice.We got in groups of two or three,after we had chosen our partners, we into the nature garden and our teacher Mr Nicholson had brought some magnifying glasses and a bug catcher 3000, which turned out to be a spoon!

So the we had to dig with the spoon and if we found a bug or woodlice then we would have to
pick it up with the bug catcher 3000 and look at its legs and body with the magnifying glass.
when we came in we copied down the questions on the board (e.g)

our aim:to see if woodlice prefer wet,dry,dark or light places.

method:

1st :

2nd:

3rd:

4th:

and a conclusion.

we liked going into the forest it was very enjoying and we liked it a lot.

Charlotte's web

In year 4 we have been reading a book called Charlotte's web.The character's are Wilbur the pig, Fern the little girl, Templeton the rat, the goose, the sheep, Mr Zircon the farmer and Levey the farmer's helper.

In the story there is a girl called Fern. One day Ferns dad walked over to the barn with a shinny axe. Fern screamed at her dad "where are you going with that axe?"

He was going to kill a new born baby pig, but Fern soon stopped her father and kept the pig and so her farther muttered to keep the pig and bring it up by herself.

We read a bit more but we had to write about how Wilbur was feeling, it was very fun and we want to read on.

In our drawings we put lots of detail and we had to make them look as real as possible.
year 4 had lots of fun yesterday but are pictures are still not finished. I can't wait to see the final result.

Habitats and organisms

In science we have been learning about habitats, a habitat is a home like a barrow to a badger and a nest to a bird. We draw our own made up animal that can survive in any habitat (eg) a polar bear with camels eye lashes to protect it from the snow when there is a snow storm.

We did a quiz on habitats but it was just to test us how much we know about which animal lives in which habitat.It was very hard but we enjoyed it very much.

A organism is a living thing like a

human,animals and plants. by:Rebecca Welch & Faizah Ahmed.

of paper.We folded the paper in four, then we began are work.

When we finished owr pitchers we stuck them into are books,then we had to write a story using our imaginary pitchers to make a story here is a (e.g - of a imaginary world).It was hard but it was quite fun.We liked making our storys and we hope we do it again.

This effect is achieved with the application of gold leaf to the letters and images, which reflect light and appear to glow. This is and example of an illuminated letter.

On Friday 13th March we showed the t-mobile dance to all our parents. We did a competition about red nose day. The competition was designing our own red nose and the winner gets a prize. We had a special treat because some Caterham students came and did some acting and we learned some acting to.
