What an inspiration Frank Sutcliffe has been!
We looked at his photographs from Victorian times then dressed as characters in the role play area. We used these images to draw and paint using black and white tones. We are delighted with the results!

Year 3/4 Rainforests
Monday, March 18th, 2013
We have been collecting information about each of the Rainforest layers and then creating a video on puppet pals.
Puppet pal is a program on the ipads that allows you to take photographs and then add your own verbal commentary.
The children have produced some great presentations- Hopefully we will upload a few once finished.

Today, we introduced our Rainforests topic by watching a fantastic DVD. We hope it gave the children the opportunity to start thinking about what they would like to find out about Rainforests.
Their questions will be noted down and attached to a display on Wednesday.
Hopefully all questions will be answered as we progress through the topic.

Our class display reflects our learning so far.
Ask your child what habitat they have chosen and what they have found out so far.

This week year 3/4 have been immersed in ‘The Sad Day’ a history of the Aztecs. Today we used our story maps to re enact the entire story in role play. I personally was really impressed by the language, recall and enthusiasm the children had for the role play and the accurate retelling of the story.

Today year 3/4 embarked on a visit to see some of the fantastic examples of Tudor architecture in Exeter. Having researched Tudor lives we started focusing on how they built their homes, furniture and tools. With this in mind we set out to see the outcomes and processes in situ. Ask your children about a Jetty and what wattle and daub is!

We finished our plants topic today by reviewing what we have learnt.
Ask your child- What are the different parts of a plant? What are the jobs of these plant parts? What do plants need to grow? What happens if a plant has too much water or heat? How do plants make their food? What is pollination? How are seeds spread? (some of the answers are below).

During our explore sessions we have begun our plants topic.
We have already talked about what we know and what we want to find out about plants and planted some seeds. Now, we have moved onto finding out information about plants and will use this to create a ‘poppet’ presentation in pairs on the ipad.
