Topic-Romans
This half term our topic was the Romans, which we have enjoyed a lot. A centurion (A Roman soldier) came in to school, and we even got to do a fake fight with real shields. For our school trip we went to Roman Verulamium museum and discovered the Roman market.  Next term our topic will be Mountains.

English
In English we have done a huge variety of things including:
Descriptions, letter writing, instructions and explanations and many more. In descriptions we wrote stories that had to be descriptive. For letter writing we wrote letters to apply for dream job.

In maths we have also done a variety of things including:
shapes and symmetry, coordinates, fractions and many, many more.We have learnt lots of new things like coordinates which we never knew.

Science
In science we our topic is Keeping Warm. In keeping Warm we investigated things that were thermal insulators and thermal conductors.

Since Hudnall Park, we have had a change of topic to Escape to the Country. We have been filling out our Hudnall Park books and learning a bit about the british country side and rivers. On google maps we had a look at the river lea and followed it’s journey to the thames.

 

During English we have been looking at explanation texts and we have started doing one of our own.

 

In science we have been studying living things and systematic observations.

 

It has been a great year and we have all enjoyed it!

THOMAS’ AND KERRY’S GIGANTIC BLOG

This blog is about year 4’s fantastic final day at Hudnall Park. Firstly, we packed our massive suitcases and went down stairs to have our tasty cooked breakfast. After that we went to check our mammal traps, we sadly didn’t catch anything.

 

Then, we spilt ourselves into groups and went into the woods to build dens. Ours went quit well but it wasn’t water proof.  After that, we made sculpture’s, ours was a squirrel it was outlined with sticks and we filled the body with dead beach leaves, then we covered the tail with sticks.

 

Sadly it was time to go after we had to go back to the dining room for lunch mine was a tuna sandwich. Then we had free time then got our bags and went by car to school.

DANIEL AND ALI”S AMAZING BLOG!

I liked the third day at Hudnall Park. We did den building, sculpturing and mammal trapping. I liked den building because making the dens was really fun because they looked awesome when they are finished.

 

On the third day unluckily we didn’t catch anything but on the first day we caught a mouse called Winnie.

 

When it was sculpturing time Ali and Daniel made a snake. When we got back to Hudnall Park we had snacks. After snacks we went home.

 

    

Ben and Will's mind-blowing blog

On Friday the 5^th of June 2015, we were on our last day at Hudnall Park in Little Gaddesden.

 

Before very long, we were inside the woods starting to build brilliant dens .Although many people tripped over the most memorable was Will when he fell and ripped his jeans.

 

After around half an hour, we had all finished our dens and thought about if it was waterproof, if it could fit everyone in and which was the best.

 

Will’s den built from a log going from 1 v tree to another, then adding a few over sticks and on top of them some leaves to make a waterproof barrier. Ben’s den was built from gargantuan logs leaning against a colossal tree. His group also made a fabulous cooking pot.

 

Will’s group made a bat made out of stones and twigs whilst Ben’s group made a lock ness monster out of tree trunks.

kiera's amazing blog

Hudnall Park was so much fun, all those magical memories I made. The den building was really fun, I felt relieved that I can actually make a real den. My group was Alex, Amelia, Amelie and me. We work really well together, in all we do. Are den worked out brilliantly in the end, it was so much fun and looked like it would last a long time. When we changed to are sculpture groups we made things like snakes, bats and lots more. Are group, Kerry, Willow, Amelie and me made a present.  My favourite sculpture was the bat because it gave the effect of a real bat and my favourite den was the cave man den because it looked like someone actually lived there.

Last week we went to Hudnall park in little Gaddeson for a school trip. On the third day

they headed down to the forest after doing

our mammal trapping (witch we enjoyed)

to do some sculpture making and den building.

All the dens were brilliant but not all of them

Would keep you dry at night! There was lots of materials to use for the dens and the sculptures a lot o them were gemstones witch

Were mostly used for cutting wood. Some of the sculptures were 3D but most of them were 2D. It was so fun! After that we had lunch then played some games. Finally we got are bags and said thank you to Mrs Button because without her coming we wouldn’t of been able to go.
