Friday here in Netherthong Primary School! I hope that you are all well. There has been quite a lot of rain this week, which is good for the plants and grass in my garden, but not so good for getting outside. Hopefully next week it will be a little drier! For those of you that spotted my little tease - Teddy and Florence did not build that house of cards! Theirs was, disappointingly, much smaller and kept getting knocked down by the dogs!! There was a lot of giggling though, which as you know is one of my favourite sounds!
English:
Yesterday I set you the challenge of creating a wonderful double page spread all about Year 4. Please be finishing those off if you haven't already. I cannot wait to find out what you remember from Year 4.
If you would like another activity here we go:
Can you make a list of words that are amazing, to use in your writing. Use these headings and see how many words you can add into your list. You might find a dictionary or thesaurus might help you. I have given you a few examples too:
Sad
sorrow
serious
Happy
merry
delighted
Silly
foolish
crazy
Scary
frightening
eerie
Surprise
amaze
shock
If you like, you can add your own headings too. You can then use this list of words to help with your writing.
Maths:
I wonder if someone can help you with this maths game? If not you can play by yourself. It is called First to 100.
You will need a pack of playing cards and some paper. Here are your instructions:
Have a bit of fun with this and see who wins! If you are playing be yourself, play it a couple of times and see if you have less goes to get to 100 each time.
History:
We should have been learning all about Pompeii in school this week. So here are lots of facts about the events of 79 AD:
Have a read through the facts and then if you could make a fact file about Pompeii that would be great. You can write it on a sheet of paper or you could put it into your books. Or, as some of you are so good in front of the camera, you could record yourself explaining some facts about Pompeii.
Here is a great little website which you can explore that will tell you more. Ask a grown up to help you.

Again, what a great week. We are looking forward to seeing as many as possible in school on the last week. Don't forget to book a slot.
I will post your photos onto the blog before Monday.
Keep safe and keep smiling
Love Miss Watkins and the Year 4 Team
