Class Assembly

On Wednesday year 3/4 did their class assembly in front of the whole school and our parents!

I'm really proud of year 3/4, they spoke clearly, smiled and read their work beautifully! They shared their learning of the 1960s including a role play, facts about Martin Luther King and our toy packages.

Here are some pictures of our class assembly.

Maths Enquiry

For maths we were investigating some really tricky questions.
We created our questions around the World Cup.

Here are our questions:

How many blades of grass are there on a pitch? (We used the Penfold instead)
How many footballs will fit into a goal?
How many squares are in the fence surrounding the Penfold?

We weren't allowed to count everything, we had to show a method of working out.

We used our speaking and listening skills, our knowledge of measuring (some of us measured distance on a trundle wheel, others marked our square meters, and we had to show written working out.

Here are some pictures of us working!

Also, here are our answers, they are, of course only estimations!

Number of blades of grass on the Penfold = 6,048,000
Number of footballs that will fit into a goal = 300
Number of squares in the fence surrounding the Penfold = 1148

A recipe for Persuasive writing!

Our new literacy topic is persuasive writing. Today we combined instructional writing with our new topic by writing recipes for a good persuasive text.

Below are some of our recipes.


To make a persuasive text, follow these instructions. 

Cautiously drop into your bowl a spoonful of persuasive speech.
Next, grab a teaspoon of flattery and stir carefully.
After that, generously add a dab of exaggeration.
While your mixture is bubbling and boiling, sprinkle in some humor.
Then dash in some feelings!
You have now completed your persuasive text!

To make a perfect persuasive text, follow these instructions. 
To start your text put in a dab of exaggeration, your first  ingredient has been added!
secondly, throw a bucketful of flattery in (you may need a bigger bowl) and thoroughly stir the sticky text ingredients. 
After that, drop in a plop of bribery and hardly mix. 
Second to last, drop in a range of amazing, fantastico, stupendous wow words.
Finally, dump in a truckload of persuasive speech and cook for 5 minutes.
