Year 4 had loads of fun in English today, making our mythical creatures come to life! We wrote some descriptions and designed our creatures yesterday, using expanded noun phrases. We then used AI technology today to make these real! We had so much fun editing and changing the images to be exactly how we imagined, some of them were so close to our own original drawings, this means our descriptions must have been brilliant! 
Year 4 been completing lots of their DT learning today around ‘Fresh Food, Good Food’. We have looked at lots of food packaging, what information is on there and how food is preserved. We then designed and created our own 3D food packaging prototypes and designed our own healthy snacks! 
we then got stuck into looking at Theseus and the Minotaur.
Wow what a fantastic day year 4 have had at Jarrow Hall! We learned so much linked to the Anglo Saxons. We first took part in some workshops learning how fabric was made from wool, how it was cleaned, brushed, spun and woven. We then recreated a battle and looked at replica weapons. During the afternoon we explored an an Anglo Saxon village, learned about the purposes of the animals and then had a story around the fire 
! What a brilliant day of learning, the children were so inquisitive and had some amazing answers to questions!
Year 4 have covered lots of RSHE today and had a day of learning around how to keep safe! We have thought about road, rail and water safety, as well as risks, hazards and dangers we might face! 
We have learned how to manage these safely and learned lots of strategies to help us in risky situations.
Year 4 have loved some interactive timetable practice today for our guided maths session! We focussed on our 6, 7, 8 and 9 times tables, with Mr Hawkins throwing us a ball to catch and answer quickly! We managed to beat the timer in reciting the times tables!

Year 4 had a fab time at Jarrow Monastery this morning. We explored the ruins and used the maps to work out which parts of the monastery were there, like the refectory, dorms and kitchen! We even learned about some of the history of the church and how it was destroyed by Vikings! We also saw the oldest stain glass window in the world!
testing eggs covered in toothpaste. We put these in vinegar overnight and made observations about what happened to the shells with and without toothpaste (with fluoride). We were very keen to see the eggs as soon as we came into school this morning! We discovered the one without toothpaste on its shell had began to dissolve/decay 
Year 4 thoroughly enjoyed their trip to the library today! We were so excited to pick our books, to bring back to school and enjoy ️
