Arguments and debates

We have recently been studying the language of persuasion by looking at advertisements in class. We also designed our own brochures for an imaginary Roman Museum.














And then we wrote a persuasive letter to Santa and that produced some very funny but persuasive arguments why we should get more presents this year.

But today was a thriller as we had our very first class debate between Maria H and Raul. The debate was titled 'Basketball is the best sport in the world' and Maria argued against whilst Raul argued for. They had 1 minute each to argue their points in front of the class who listened to every word and also watched the timer carefully! At the end of their minutes the class voted for the one who delivered the best argument and was in their opinion the most persuasive.

So well done Maria in winning the first 4C class debate.

Google Earth - Maps and Mapping

This half term we are studying Maps and Mapping in Geography. Maps are used to find out where we are on the earth and mapping is a skill we learn to draw maps.

For many years maps and an atlas have been the only things we could use to find out where we were on Earth or where we wanted to go.

Over the last couple of years however, Google were busy creating 'Google Earth' and if you install this on your home computer you can use it to do all sorts of amazing things. We are using it in class along with our maps and atlas books to learn about Maps and Mapping and it is very useful indeed.

Google Earth is not just a map of the Earth but a visual map as it has street level views, photos of monuments and buildings and even a flight simulator mode. So ask your parents if you can install it on your home computer and then try to find these places using it.

Volvo Ocean Race Game

It's been 30 days since we set sail on our virtual voyage around the world and a lot has happened in the race. Our boat 'four sea' set sail in fine winds but then got jammed in by lots of other boats as we all tried to sail through the straights of Gibraltar. Once on the open sea however we made up lots of time and gained lots of places in the rankings. 

But disaster struck. 

During our half term break no one could keep an eye on our boat's heading and when we arrived back in school we discovered that we had wrecked our boat off the Venezuelan coast! Thankfully this is a virtual game so all we had to do was point ourselves in the right direction and set sail again. We have lost a lot of places but we are still sailing and have just gained over 100 places today due to the very strong South Atlantic winds.

Keep checking back to see how we fair in this amazing virtual race.

Our class assembly

It's that time of year when our class has a chance to shine on stage and dazzle the audience with their acting skills. Yes, it's our turn for the class assembly this Friday 14th November at a little after half past two.

So make sure you tell your mum, dad, granny, grandad, uncle, aunty, cousins, friends and let everyone know that 4C's class assembly will have them 'roman' around through history ;)

4º visit to Osorio

Yesterday the whole of 4º visited Osorio for the day. It was a wonderful day as the weather was in our favour and it only rained very lightly for a couple of minutes.

Osorio is a beautiful nature park in the

mountains between Teror and Arucas.

It is filled with trees and plants, open fields, walks, caves, trails into woods and there is also a farm with many types of farm animals.

We had a very enjoyable day out as we ate our lunch there surrounded by trees and birds singing.
