Good morning you lovely lot! How are you all doing? Don't forget that you can go on our Padlet page to put up any lovely activities and fun things that you are doing. I have been in school again today. It is so lovely to hear noise back in the building again, but we are all missing you.
English:
I loved your performance poetry yesterday. I thought that today you could become poets yourself. Charlie M (thank you) reminded me of another of my favourites this morning - Spike Milligan. He was a very funny man who wrote some very silly poems. Here is a link to one call Ning Nang Nong!

Today I would like you to write a poem of your own to perform. Your poem can be about anything you would like. It can be serious, emotional, funny, nonsense or silly. Write your poem down and send them in! I can't wait to read them. You will have another job with these tomorrow!
Maths:
Here are another few problems for you to work on.
Well done with all of your maths. I will post the answers tomorrow.
Here is yesterdays puzzle answer:
Science:
In Art earlier this week, you looked at columns. In Science I wondered if you could have a go at making your own columns. Can you use paper or card to build some columns. See if you can build a strong structure and can it hold any weights on top? How strong are your columns?
Some of these columns have been around for hundreds of years and more! They are so strong and decorative, you could decorate yours too.
Don't forget to keep reading everyday and let us know what you are reading. I know lots of you are reading and have finished the Harry Potter books.
Well done everyone again
Love Miss Watkins and the Year 4 Team

Hello, Class 4. I had another enjoyable day with you yesterday. Your stories are great and I was super impressed with your maths too. Lots of you sent me some thoughtful pieces of history as well. Great job! Here are some updates for you. By the way, if I have missed anyone out, please email me and let me know! Any maths, I am not putting this on the blog, as I don't want to give away the answers to anyone who hasn't done it yet, but a massive well done if you sent me this in. I know some of your found the extension difficult, but you gave it a good go!
Remember last week when I asked you to send in the most unusual photographs? Alastair has provided me with a series of them for you to look at.
Brooke has sent in her writing and her Boudica work, with a great drawing of her.
Freddie has sent in his story. I really like the way this story turns out!
James has sent in his Boudica work and his story. James thinks Boudica is a villain!
Joshua has sent his story in, with a character inspired by his real-life neighbour!
Libby sent in her story, where disaster nearly struck!
Lila has written her story. Can you guess which book inspired her story?
Orla has shared this lovely non-fiction book she is reading. It looks super interesting! Also, she has sent in her story and her history too.
Poppy S has sent in her story with lots of lovely descriptive language!
Sarah has sent her story in with a neat little way of finishing it by referring to an earlier part of the story. Also, her Boudica work and she has made a puppet theatre based on Harry Potter. A great idea!
Seb has sent in some information about the book he is reading and a picture of him with the tallest thing he could make.
Eva has sent in her Boudica poster and her story. I like how it is in first person!
Charlie S has sent in his story and his historical opinion of Boudica. Well done!
Jess has sent in her Boudica. Great work!

Happy Wednesday everyone. I must say how impressed Mr K is with you all. Obviously Mrs Kendal and myself are not at all surprised! I hope you are all keeping well and still smiling. That is most important!
English
We loved your shape poems this week. Today I would like you to become a performance artist. A lot of poems are written to be said aloud and not just read in our heads. Some poets even dance their poems. There are some very famous poets who "perform" their poems. Micheal Rosen, John Hegley and Benjamin Zephaniah. Maybe you know a few more. Below are the links to a poem performed by Benjamin Zephaniah and a "How to perform" by Michael Rosen. Have a little look at these two video clips. Then select a poem, you can find lots online with a grown up helping you or in many poetry books. I have posted one of my favourites, especially in the accent I had as a child!

Once you have selected a poem, have a go at reading it out loud to someone in your house. You could even try to learn it off by heart. You could record it and send us a little video too.
Maths
Here is another puzzle for you. I will post the answer tomorrow!
Please don't forget to keep having a go at Mathletics and TT Rockstars.
Art
Today this will link with your English and poetry. Your shape poems were wonderful, so I would like you to use the poem you have been performing today, to create or inspire a piece of art work. It could be an image from the poem or a picture that makes you think of the poem. You can paint or draw it, it is totally your choice. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Let your imaginations go wild!
Thanks and have fun!
Love Miss Watkins and the Year 4 team.

Hi Class 4, thank you for all your amazing work today. The Internet in school has been super slow this afternoon, and I am struggling to upload all the photographs of your work. So, I will do this tomorrow. Keep an eye out for your work!
Mr. K
A super start to the week!
