Pretty as a picture.

This week in computing, we used the iPads to draw pictures using a package called Brushes, it is slightly easier to drawer than using the mouse pad but we had lots of new functions to learn.

Warwick castle

This week we are going to be finding out information about Warwick castle. Can you use books or the internet at home to find out information about Warwick castle and come into school and wow your teacher with what you have found out!!

Could you research…

Who ordered Warwick castle to be built?
When was it first built?
Who lived there last?
What are the main features of the castle?

Capacity

Today we have been learning to measure and record the capacity of a container using litres. We poured 1 litre of water into a container and recorded whether it held more than, less than or equal to 1 litre of water.

Can you measure the capacity of containers at home using a litre bottle or jug?

Thank you from Year 4

Today in our computing lesson we borrowed our younger brothers and sisters to test the games we had written. It was really helpful as we got to see if they were easy to use, and how we would need to improve our games next time.

We are picture book authors.

Today in computing we have started to use a paint package to try and draw our own illustrations for our book of Traditional Tales. It is very tricky because we have to press a button and move the mousepad. We also had to remember when to use fill and when to draw.

We will really need to practise retelling the stories so we know them really well.

1B are writing Little Red Riding Hood
1G are writing Goldilocks
And 1A are writing Jack and the beanstalk.

Discovering division

This week we have started to learn how to divide objects by grouping them into equal amounts. Today we solved castle problems by dividing the castle objects into given groups and counting how many groups altogether.

Can you have a go at home?

Words and pictures

In computing we have started to use PowerPoint to show off the amazing pictures we have found. We pictures into the slide and added words. The. We had to save it for next week.

Today in computing I am setting you a picture challenge! Using the picture website from last week can you find me some animals.
