Dotty six

On Tuesday afternoon, the children played a new game called Dotty Six

It was a game to play with a friend.















Can someone in Year 4 write back to explain the rules and the strategies you used?

Talk for writing

Since September we have been learning the story Little Red Riding hood off by heart. Year 4 have created some actions to help remember the story in the correct order.

This week the children  have made a story map, a story board or a story trail to record the events. Here they are, click on them for a larger view.













Take a close look, we have some amazing illustrators in Year 4. See if you can follow the story using the illustrations.

Looking at maps

As part of our "Village in India" topic we have been looking at the information contained in maps.

A map of Chembakolli

First, we played a memory game. Each team came to the front to have a good look at the map and then had to return to the table.  They had to write down information they had gathered.

Having another look


More information found

A different map of Chembakolli

Comparing this one with the large map on the board.


Everyone added colour to the tea, coffee and rice crop. What other features can be seen on the map?

Looking carefully to make sure the colours match

Next time we are going to find out if children go to school and if they do, what they learn.

Write back and tell me what you have learned so far.
