The Tinderbox!

This week in year four we have been reading a story called The Tinderbox. This incredible story is all about a soldier who meets a witch and the witch tells him to go down this humongous tree and get a tinderbox for her,also there is three dogs and three boxes of treasure and the dogs have different and not normal sizes.The witch also gave him a apron to put the dogs on. As I was saying , so he climbed the massive tree and inside the tree it was like the inside of a mansion! The soldier walked through the first door and he saw a dog with eyes as big as clocks on the treasure box of coppers. He took the dog and put him on the apron that the witch gave him and then he took as much treasure as he could.


Then he put the dog back in his position and entered the next room.The soldier walked through the second door and he saw a dog on top of the box of silver coins. He lifted the dog and safely put him on the apron. Then he thought the silver was better so he took the silver and threw the copper away and then took the silver. He then entered the next room and could hardly see the treasure box because it was fully blocked by a humongous dog with eyes as big as cartwheels.He picked the dog up and put it on the apron.Then he thought the gold was better than the silver so he took the gold instead.The soldier grabbed the tinderbox and he climbed up the tree... Buy the book to see what happens next!

Facts and Opinions

Facts and Opinions
In year 4 we have been learning the difference between facts and opinions.

A fact is something true, like a spider has eight legs. An opinion is something that could be true or not, like Austrila is the best country in the whole world.

We also learned the story of Saint Goerge. It linked to the facts and opinions that we was talking about, this is a list of facts about Goerge.

. He was a christian
. He was born in Turkey
. He used to be in the roman army
. Saint George lived in the third centry
. George NEVER came to England!!!

now for some opinions
. He was a brave man
. The princess was very happy when he saved her
. George is a hero

and thats what weve been learning in year 4 this week.

fact and opinion

This week in year 4 we have been learning about facts and opinions. We watched some videos and we had to pick out the facts from the opinions. It was quite hard but worth the fun and learning. The class loved it very much and it got our brains running. Also we had our own opertunaty to make our own adverts with facts and opinions in it.

We think a fact is something that is true and can be desproved like for example some people

thought that the sun was around the planets, but it is the other way round.

We think a opinion is something that is a thought like for example "man u is the best football team ever".
