Then she read two very interesting books, one was very unusual  book because it was printed out as burger. After that we got a chance to have a look around at the books in the children's section. Before leaving the library we were given application forms to join the library.

Guided Reading Parents Workshop

The focus for this years Inspire Workshop was Guided Reading. The parents came into the class and observed our new  whole class Guided reading session. We started with an ERIC picture activity, for this the children had to Choose, Retrieve and Interpret the questions from the picture. Then we moved on to whole class text- The Trojan Horse. After reading the text together and answering some questions together the  children then worked with their parents to complete the comprehension questions.

 Year 4 Cornerstone Topic

'Burps, Bottoms and Bile'

Open wide- let's take a look inside! We're on a voyage to investigate the busy world inside our body! Do you have a toothy grin or a winning smile? Are you brave enough to disclose the plaque, caused by the effect of sugary substances, on your pearly whites using the disclosing tablets.
We will follow a tasty morsel as it makes its way through your digestive system, helped by some mouth watering saliva! 

During our journey we will be creative and make a working model of the digestive system, persuading and learning how to look after this marvellous, belching, squelching, mixture-making machine we call our body.

Life Education Centre (February 2017)

Year 4 met Harold the giraffe and learnt about making 'choices' that affect our everyday life and sometimes the people around us, e.g. exercise,food, hygiene, games we play, being kind etc.
