Fabulous Friday For Fun Friends!
I hope that you have all had a good week. We cannot wait to see so many of you on Wednesday, it will be such a long awaited treat for us! I also hope that you enjoyed Virtual Sports Day yesterday. There was lots of fun in school and the noise of children giggling and bouncing around was great!
On to today:
English:
How are your tongues? I hope that you can get your mouths around this:
A pale pink proud peacock pompously preened its pretty plumage.
or how about this one:
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
or
She sells sea shells on the sea shore. The shells she sells are seas shells for sure.
What do you notice about them all? Are they easy to say?
I thought that you could have a little bit of fun and have a go at writing your own tongue twisters. If you click on this link there are a few key things that might help you.
You can chose what you write about and you could do more than one. If you like, you could video yourself saying your tongue twister. I can't wait to give them a go!
Maths:
I discovered the Guardians of Mathematica this week (BBC Bitesize). I thought that you lovely lot would enjoy it too, if you have not already discovered it! There are lots of different maths games and problems for you to solve. You get to travel around a map to different mathematical areas. See what you can do. You could take a screen shot or take a photo of some of your activities. Here is the link:
Have fun.
History:
We have been learning all about the Romans this half term, even though it has been remotely! It is famously known that the Romans invented lots of different things that we still use today. This is a link to the English Heritage site.
It shows you examples of the different Roman inventions that we still use today. Can you then write a list of the inventions, and any more you know of or can find out about and maybe draw some images of the inventions too. You will be amazed by some of them!
Have fun today and don't forget to send in your results from Sports Day. We hope to be able to announce the results next week.
Well done one and all and see most of you next week!
Love Miss Watkins and the Year 4 Team

Thank you again one and all

Sports Day 9th July 2020
admin on: Class 4
It was so good to catch up with Mrs Kendal! We are both as excited as each other to see you all next week. We have a few plans in place, but we are just keen to see you.
So it is a slightly different sports day than last year, which was baking hot and in the sunshine if I haven't got my years muddled up! We have an exciting set of activities for you and cannot wait to see your photos please and for your results to be sent in. Please don't forget to send these in by Friday 10th! So here is a reminder of what was sent out on the newsletter.
Here is a form for you to collate your results on and then send them in:
Please feel free to create your own version, but these are the results that you to send in.
Here are the links to the above files if they are of use.
Please keep your fingers crossed for a dry day. Teddy has done his sports day today - in the lounge!
You could rope others in your house to join you. Send us photos and enjoy.

Good morning!
I hope you have all had a good start to the week. Today Miss Watkins and I are getting together in school (within a safe distance of course) to decide what we are going to do when we all meet up next Wednesday - we are so excited!
Here are some of the photos from this week so far:
Orla has some new additions to the family - very cute and super cuddly!
Charlie engineered a safety device for his egg, based on a zorbing ball, before launching it off his balcony....the egg survived! Well done Charlie.
Poppy designed some new shoes with a dog theme in mind. Unfortunately, you'll have to work a bit harder Poppy if you want a puppy - it's still a no from Mum and Dad! 10 out of 10 for effort though.
Sarah decided to feed her egg to a hungry crocodile before dropping it from a great height! The plan worked and the egg survived (well, until Daniel ate it for lunch). Good engineering you two!
Sarah couldn't decide which pair to shoes to write about so she combined them all together and went on a great adventure! Super work, well done.
Super lockdown poetry by Ella and Lila - well done girls!
What a wonderful piece of writing about a pair of space boots Ella - what an adventure you could have whilst wearing those! Making paper aeroplanes and finding out about all of the forces acting on them is great science. Looks like you had fun playing in the river too.
Here are your suggested activities for the day:
PE:
Tomorrow will be our virtual sports day. In preparation for this, can you design yourself a warm-up routine? Think about the different muscles that you will need to stretch.
English:
The year 2020 has certainly been one that we won’t be forgetting in a hurry! If someone had told us last year that a virus would spread throughout the world and send the whole country into months of lockdown, we would have thought they were mad.
For the task today, I would like you to imagine that 2021 is going to be even crazier! Can you think of something that could happen (the wilder the better) and write about it? Maybe it could involve aliens, robots or extreme weather – I know how imaginative you are so get your thinking caps on!
Maths:
Combination locks need a code to be unlocked.
Can you solve these puzzles to work out the codes for the two locks?
- The second number is double the first number.
- The first number is the number of sides a semi-circle has.
- All the numbers are even.
- The second number is 50% of the last number.
- The third number is between the second and last number.
- The last number is the biggest and is three times the first number.
- The third number is the only even number.
- The first and second numbers add up to half of 4.
- The third number is one-tenth of 20.
Now have a go at making your own puzzle for someone else to solve.
Art:
Sophie and Will have been improving their drawing skills at home using the online tutorials by Rob Biddulph, an amazing illustrator.

Please send a photo of your drawings - they would look great on our blog!
Enjoy the rest of your week.
Love from Mrs Kendal and the year 4 team xx
