4T have shown great collaboration in reading this week. Working in teams, they answered a series of questions by reading an information text about the Roman army. We then used these questions to do a quiz quiz trade activity to see what information we had remembered. We were also able to use what we’d learnt to label the armour of a Roman soldier.

The results are in
4T have been excitedly monitoring our eggs as part of science experiment about the affect of different drinks on teeth. Surprisingly, we found that the eggshell with the most damage was the one in Diet Coke. Most of us had predicted that coke would be the worst. We found that water and milk are the best drinks for our teeth.
ACE Scientists
4T have been ACE Scientists this week to investigate the effect of different types of drinks on teeth. We set up an experiment using eggs, as the shell is similar to tooth enamel. We put the eggs is milk, water, Diet Coke and coke. We have written predictions about which will drink will affect the shell the most and the least. We have been monitoring the experiment throughout the week and will have the final results next week.
Fantastic learning
We have had another fantastic week of learning in 4T. In English we have learnt an exciting warning tale called ‘Keep off the tracks’. I was very impressed with how well everyone joined in with the actions. In Maths, we learnt how to represent numbers to 10,000. As Scientists, we investigated the different types of teeth and what they could tell us about whether an animal is a carnivore, herbivore or omnivore. 4T also showed me there brilliant debating skills in RE, where we were discussing what the term to ‘fish for people’ meant in relation to the story of Jesus calling his first disciples.
An amazing first week…
The children have been working incredibly hard in many different subject areas. In our English sessions, we have been learning ‘The Book’ by Michael Rosen. The children’s enthusiasm and ability to learn the poem so quickly has been amazing and they have enjoyed performing it to each other. Within our Maths learning we have been looking at place value by using base ten to create 3-digit numbers.
A couple of key things for next week: P.E. will take place on Tuesdays so the children will be able to come into school wearing their P.E. kits. Reading scheme books were given out this week and we will be expecting the children to read at least three times every week.
