Year 4 started gathering data to add to a database we made using Purple Mash.

If you still haven't added your information maybe you could complete it over half term.

Fractions and a maths game

To help us understand fractions we used numicon again yesterday in maths. What can you remember?

What did we find out?
Think about our investigation to find out if half was more or less than 2 quarters. Was this always the case?

Here is the game we played in the ICT suite

Can you tell me what you think?

Hello Year 4, here is a link to a beta game http://www.purplemash.com/labs/members/programs/2diy3d/ by Purple Mash, one of the fab things I saw at BETT 

Will you have a play and let me know what you think.

This is what my game looked like.

First add the walls apples and the monsters, next set the timer and how many lives the player has, finally click the green play button. Have fun.

Here are some Y6's in ICT Tuesday having a go.

Some Y4 animators having a go too,

Working in the ICT suite

Yesterday the children made Top Trumps cards using textease. The children had to follow a set of steps to achieve their learning target.

Here they are,

After that we had a look at our "quadblogging" partner schools. Mr Fryer and Mrs Stephenson both have some interesting things and children left comments.

Word clouds

Mr Walls told me you all really enjoyed experimenting with worditout today in ICT

Here is a cloud I made just by copying the text on the first page of our blog.

Why don't you have a go and print some out.
