Poetry - Creating Images

Last week we read some very tricky poems and thought about how we could show what images they created in our minds.  We worked together in groups to make up some actions to show these images and tried to perform the poems in an interesting way.  Watch the videos we made below.

Explore the World Assembly

We have had a fantastic International Week! Here are some videos that show off our hard work as well as our talent!

Buddy Up & Help

To end the amazing international week that Year 4 have had, 4T and 4X spent time with our buddies in F2. The children were wonderful when helping each other. I was amazed to see how mature and caring Year 4 can be.

The Best Performance Ever!

Ms Alison and I were both so very proud of Year 4 today. After watching the whole show we both agreed and disagreed. We agreed that Year 4 were the best performers of the whole show, and we disagreed about the girls and boys. I thought that the boys were the best and she thought that the girls were the best. What did you think?

Which country in the world has the smallest population?
Which country in the world has the largest population?
Which country in the world has the largest land area?
Which country in the world has the smallest land area?

Earthquake Proof Buildings!

This week we have been learning about where earthquakes strike and what happens to buildings when they do.  We know that buildings where earthquakes occur, need to be made in special shapes and from lightweight materials to make them safer to live in.

Devastating Magnitude



Last week I asked you to find any earthquake that has hit in the last 50 years. This week I wonder if you can find out where and when the largest earthquake hit. Try to answer the following questions;


  • Where did the earthquake hit?
  • What magnitude was the earthquake?
  • How many people were killed due to the earthquake?
  • How much was the estimated cost of clearing up after the earthquake?
