Good morning Class 4.

I hope you all had a lovely day yesterday and managed to get some of the work done. Don't forget, I would love to see what you have been up to, so please send photos or files to our class email address: class4@netherthongprimary.co.uk. 

Here are the suggested activities for today: 

Active time - 

If you didn't manage to catch the Joe Wicks PE session yesterday, please try today. I followed the routine with my children and it was a great start to the morning! Please follow the link to join in the fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz0go1pTda8

English - 

Over the next couple of days I would like you to use your imagination and picture a little paper boat being released onto a river. 

Using what we now know about the path a river takes, plan and write the story of the little boat and its journey.                                             

You will need to think about the places that the boat will travel through, the things it will pass and the dangers it will face. You can decide whether your boat makes it all the way to the sea, gets stuck along the way or maybe something happens to it on its travels.

Be as creative as I know you are! 

Try and include the following targets in your writing? 

A) I can use a range of different openers.

B) I can use noun phrases (eg biting cold wind).

C) I can make appropriate noun or pronoun choices.

D) I can use commas after fronted adverbials (eg Later that day, he heard bad news).

E) I can write in paragraphs. 

Maths - 

We are gong to spend a few days thinking about weight. 

Have a look in your kitchen cupboards (with an adult), can you find anything that weighs 1kg? Have a good feel of the object then try to estimate the weight of other items.

Write down the name of the item, your estimate and the actual weight. 

Why not challenge a family member to see who can get the closest estimate! 

Computing - 

Over the last few weeks we have done lots of work on the logo section of Purplemash. 

See if you can use your new skills to create a picture. Try and use the repeat function if you can. 

Have a great day! 

Mrs Kendal, Miss Watkins, Mrs Scott and Miss Kewley.
