Over the last two weeks, we have been writing a variety of character and setting descriptions. We used our senses to help us write descriptions and included similes to make it more interesting. Some of us used personification and onomatopoeia.

Eric Joyner – Art Gallery
We have been studying an American artist called Eric Joyner. He draws and paints pictures containing robots. Eric Joyner always includes a doughnut, cupcake or yum yum in his drawings. We created our own drawings, using his style.
Internet Research – Roman Shields
During ICT, we searched the internet for different Roman shield designs. When we found one we liked, we used Paint to draw the design. Here are some of our designs.
Music – The Planet Suite
This week we listened to the same songs again but this time we thought about words we could use to describe the songs.
Take a look at the words we used.
Internet Research – Roman Weapons
Today we used a website to find out all about 3 of the main weapons used by the Romans.
Read our work to find out about the weapons.
Children in Need
For the last few weeks, the whole school has been bringing in 1p coins to help raise money for Children in Need. Today we all counted our 1p coins.
In year 3/4, we raised the following amounts:
Saturn Class – £31.56
Earth Class – £17.73
Neptune Clas – £17. 61
As a school, we raised over £200 by collecting 1p coins!
After our money had been counted, children from each class across the school went into the hall and made pictures out of the coins.
Here are some images to show the pictures we made.
Science Investigation
Creating a Clay Dragon
We have had an amazing time making our clay dragons with Louise. We used lots of utensils to create a range of effects on our dragons. Some of us made 3D dragons and some of us made square shaped pots with dragons wrapped around them. We will have our clay dragons back in approximately two weeks, after they have been fired in the kiln.
Here are some photographs of us creating our clay models and holding our final creations.
Information Text – Komodo Dragons
This week we have been writing an information text (non-chronological report) on komodo dragons. We worked in pairs to write the paragraphs but decided independently how to present our work.
Here are some examples.
Dragon Dancing
In PE we have been creating sequences of dance moves to represent dragons.
