In English, Year 4 have been writing animal poems this week. They have followed a structure and focused on developing some powerful noun phrases, including adjectives and prepositions to add description.
Darcy's poem contained so many superb noun phrases. Hudson's poem rhymed and included some comedy also.
In Science and Geography, the children have been continuing their learning about The Amazon Rainforest. With a focus on deforestation this week, Year 4 have considered the devastation this can cause including how animals habitats are threatened by changes in the environment. They have created their own lively endangered animal video reports.
Darcy's report was informative, fun, creative and factual. Joao- Ricardo's report on the endangered Mexican Wolf clearly states the risks that the wolves faced but also included information on how they were helped through conservation. He also created the most amazing Toucan drawing! Freddie's endangered animal report was about the Black Rhinos.
Hattie created a super chalk drawing linked to her learning about the Amazon rainforest. Guy read out some interesting facts about the Rainforests. Freddie used his amazing mathematical skills to calculate: how many square kilometres have been cut down since 2015 -2020, how many square kilometres would that be every day approximately and how many square kilometres would that be over the duration of a decade.
Jack drew a wonderful Toucan, thinking hard about what this species needs from the Rainforest. Richard made a dramatic save the rainforest poster. Ross drew a super toucan picture. Darina made a model of the different layers of the rainforest.
In Art, the class constructed their monument to NHS workers from their designs, producing some fabulous structures to honour our dedicated healthcare workers. Henry's monument was super!
