Well, it was another gloriously sunny day yesterday. I hope that you all managed to get outside into the fresh air for a little while. We certainly did - cricket and cycling again for us! It is wonderful to hear from you all. It is great that so many of you are being worn out first thing with Joe Wicks or getting mums to join in with your work too. Keep it up!
Active Learning - Why not start the day with another Joe Wicks session. We are loving them, but I do ache a little bit afterwards! You could also have a go at Oti's dance class, or make up a few activities of your own. I know that Orla has been doing some Gymnastics practice.
English - I have enjoyed reading the Little Paper Boat stories so far. If you haven't finished them, make sure that you do. Remember that we love twist at the end!
Here is a Litz Blitz for you to have a go at:
1. Add a prefix to this root word: happy
2. Add the correct punctuation: I am enjoying the sunshine said Chloe
3. Can you alter this sentence to add a contraction - I will be working hard today.
4. Can you write a suffix onto this root word - care
5. Can you add a noun phrase - The tree in the wood.
6. Write a sentence with a preposition.
7. Write a sentence that uses commas in a list.
8. Write a list of words that could describe the sunshine.
If you have finished your story, have a go at writing an example of the following types of sentences:
- an exclamation sentence
- a question
- a command
- a statement
Try to make these complex sentences.
Maths - Have a go at some data handling today. Can you create a table of the activities that you have been doing - sports, arts, writing, maths, etc. Once you have gathered the information try to turn this into a block graph. You could then ask someone in your house some questions about the graph e.g. Which has been the most popular activity? How many time have I completed an art activity etc.
Science - Have a think about some of the food that you eat. Create a table of the types of food and whether they are a solid, a liquid or even a gas! Also identify which food items change state when you apply a force to them (heat or cool). Are there any foods that are gases?
You could also have a little bit of time reading your book. If the sun stays shining you could sit outside to do this.
You are being amazing and it sounds like home schooling is going well. We are all missing you and can't wait to get back to normal. Don't forget to get outside into your garden, whilst the sun is shining where you can, keep safe and have fun.
Year 4 Team
