This week's Wonderful Writer of the Week is Maryam A! Maryam has consistenly shown excellent presentation in her writing work. This week, I was particularly impressed with her advert. She was able to use the skills modelled in the example such as, rhetorical questions and imperative verbs.
Star Scientist (WB 01.03.21)
This week's Star Scientist is Luqman. This is because Luqman completed the set Geography task which links to our Science. He got an excellent score on the quiz and was able to label the water cycle correctly.
Our challenge was to design a new front cover for our class reader, 'Ice Cat' by Linda Newbury. Year 4 did a fantastic job! Mrs Clayton also did her own front cover for 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' by J.K Rowling.

Wonderful Writer of the Week (WB 22.02.21)
This week's Wonderful Writer of the Week is N'talayah! I was very impressed with her cold task. Her handwriting and presentation were beautiful and I was pleased to see she had structured the letter clearly using paragraphs.
Star Scientist (WB 22.02.21)
This week's Star Scientist is Riley. This is because Riley completed the set science tasks and demonstrated his understanding on this week's live session. He was able to confidently explain what happens to the particles in a liquid when they become a solid. He told the class how the particles inside my container would have become more tightly packed and moved closer together as they froze to create a solid - my ice sculpture!
On the live session today, I set you a challenge for world book day next week. Write a letter to your favourite author. Here are the details if you would like to take part. You can see a letter I wrote to J.K.Rowling when I was your age!
