Year 4 English: Descriptive Writing
The Boy and the Elephant, created by Freya Blackwood, has been an engaging text for Year 4 to explore this week. The book is completely wordless, but the detailed illustrations are able to tell an emotive and inspiring story.
Students were tasked with writing descriptive paragraphs based on one of the pages from the text, and a selection of their work can be viewed below. By adding ambitious vocabulary and descriptive phrases, Year 4 were able to demonstrate their impressive writing skills:
Year 2 Maths: Conservation of Area
Do you know what the conservation of area means? If not, come and ask the mathematicians in Year 2 and they can explain it to you! Year 2 used MAB blocks as uniform, informal units to investigate whether the area of a shape would change if they rearranged the shape.
By calculating the area of a piece of A5 paper using MAB blocks, they were then able to create a new shape by cutting their paper and sticking it back together in a different orientation.
To our surprise, even though the shape looked completely different, the area had not changed!!
