Year 4 Mysterious objects..., by Mrs Hover

Date: 11th May 2017 @ 3:59pm

Our first lesson on 'The Water Horse'

Mysterious objects have been handed in to Gairloch Heritage Centre and they have sent a letter and photographs to Year 4 to observe.  Using magnifying glasses and a little imagination, Year 4 described the objects and predicted what the objects might be.

The letter also revealed that one of their fellow volunteers has likened these objects to the legend of the kelpie… This has got us thinking!

Year 4 Poetry, by Mrs Hover

Date: 12th Apr 2017 @ 7:19pm

Year 4's poetry inspired by the list poem, 'I come from...' by Robert Seatter

 

I come from…

(verses taken from some of the children’s poems)

 

I come from Chester, a busy city

Full of people

Friends and foes

Dotted around like landmarks on a map

Each leading different lives in different way

 

I come from the smell of cookies baking

The sweet scent wafting through the kitchen door

As the cookies turn golden and crisp

While the oven heats up

 

I come from the joy of finishing an amazing book

Silently reading somewhere in a corner

As the words come to life

And I get lost in worlds of my own…

 

I come from Florida full of adventure and magic

Where all your dreams come true

A swimming pool for a back garden

A theme park

Two water parks

Ice cream for breakfast…

Roller coasters everyday

Waves so powerful, they could knock you out

 

I come from part Scottish and part English

And wearing my first kilt at a wedding…

I come from a loving, fantastic family

Who love getting muddy and dirty

Going for walks with the dog

And getting sprayed by him

 

I come from hot holidays in Spain

And yummy, sugary doughnuts on the beach

I come from water fights with my sisters

And the smell of the roast dinner on Christmas Eve

I come from Trick or Treating around the streets on Halloween

And getting up early on Easter morning

Looking around for Easter eggs

 

I come from giggling and kindness

And spending time with my family

On special occasions

I come from popcorn and the cinema

Candy floss, the colour of the rainbow

Melting in my mouth…

I come from the library

And books scattered in a messy pile

Beside my desk

'Ancient Greek Theatre Mask' inspired clay work, by Mrs Hover

Date: 15th Feb 2017 @ 8:13pm

After researching and looking at different theatre masks from Ancient Greece, the children drew several of their favourite designs in their sketchbooks. Next, they chose one design and created a more detailed charcoal drawing, which they then sculpted out of clay.

All of Year 4's clay work is currently displayed in the space in front of the main entrance door.

Children's Mental Health Week 2017 - Year 4, by Mrs Hover

Date: 10th Feb 2017 @ 6:37am

On Tuesday, Year 4 began by creating mind-maps based on everything they knew about different feelings.  We then played 'Feelings Bingo' and discovered that there were lots more feelings that we hadn't thought about.  As we ticked off our Bingo cards, the children gave thought-provoking examples of when people might feel happy, excited, OK, proud, lonely, angry, grumpy, scared...

Next, we read one of Mrs Hover's favourite books, 'The Tear Thief' by Carol Ann Duffy.  (The Tear Thief takes away children's tears and, in doing so lessens the causes of them). 

We discussed why the children were crying and what could have helped them feel better.

"The tears were jewels inside the darkness of the sack clinking and chinking and winking.  Tears of rage were red and glowed like rubies.  Tears of envy or jealousy were as green as emeralds.  Tears of self-pity were turqoise.  Scared tears were white like moonstones and guilty tears were amber."

Finally, we worked in friendship groups acting out scenarios based on 'not so good feelings' and discussed what could have been said or done to make the characters feel better.
