We have reached the end of our core text, Kensuke's Kingdom. An emotional roller-coaster of a book with an equally emotional ending (I won't give it away but do ask your child to explain why it is both happy and sad). The children have written their last piece of work based on this book which documented the change in the relationship between our two main characters. Read more to find out about other learning from this week and to get a hint of what we will be writing about next week...

Year 4 have learned how to make sushi this week as part of our final day focusing on Japan.

Michael, the hero of our class book Kensuke's Kingdom, has fallen overboard and is now washed up on an island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. How will he survive? Year 4 could give him some advice with the survival guides they have written this week.

The children in Year 4 have been working scientifically and have set up an investigation which they hope will allow them to draw some conclusions on what happens to our teeth if we don't look after them properly.

Even though we have not had a direct geography lesson this week, find out how we have been using our other lessons and targets to learn more about this fascinating country.

The snow has thawed in Narnia and Father Christmas has visited Peter, Susan and Lucy so the White Witch's magic must be weakening. It looks like Year 4 will be able to celebrate Christmas!
