I had a go at creating a piece of art using an everyday object; here's my finished sketch as promised!
Thank you for sending me some of yours, they are great. I've posted them here for us all to enjoy!

Thank you so much for sending me such amazing stories to read to Will. I can't tell you how pleased and excited he is to have lots of new bedtime books. My printer has decided to stop working so I am going to print out your stories in school tomorrow (sshhh, don't tell Miss Kelly!) I can then read them this week and I'll let you know what he thinks of them all.
It was lovely to receive so many photos of you in your school uniform - although they did make me miss you even more than I already do! I will post some of the photos from last week later on today.
Sophie and I have been enjoying our daily walks during lockdown and this weekend we decided to challenge ourselves. We walked from our house in Skelmanthorpe all the way to my Mum and Dad's house in Wooldale (to wave hello from a safe distance!). We worked out that we had walked nearly 8 miles - luckily Sophie's Daddy picked us up so we didn't have to walk home!
This week I will be working in school so I will try to answer all of your emails as soon as I get home (please don't think I'm ignoring you!)
Today's suggested activities are as follows:
English:
This week we are going to be thinking all about endangered animals. Towards the end of the week you will be hosting your own nature programme about endangered animals, which might include interviews and PowerPoints. Today we would like you to begin your research.
Click on the link here, it will take you to the World Wildlife Fund website. https://www.wwf.org.uk/
Explore the website and see what you can find out. You can make notes about the endangered animals and investigate in books or on other websites that you know.
Maths:
Please complete the sheet below. It is all about money this week!
Science:
During these strange times and different lives that we are all living at the moment, our environment is also changing. Can you think of any ways that our environment has changed during the past few months of lockdown. How are animals adapting to the new, slower paced world that we are living in?
Purple mash:
Don't forget to have a go at today's Litz Blitz and the maths activity. I have put them on your 2do lists.
Have a lovely day.
Love from Mrs Kendal and the year 4 team xx

Friday - 15th May 2020 - Uniform Day
admin on: Class 4
Another Friday is upon us. And the sun is due to shine all weekend despite some colder days. Mrs Kendal and I have been in school this week. It has been strange to be in school and not see all of you. We do miss you. I hope you are enjoying the tasks that we are setting you. Please always remember that they are only guides and suggestions for you to work on.
Just a quick reminder that today is Uniform Day so please send a picture of you in your uniform. I wonder if it still fits!
(By sending in a photo, you consent to it being used within school and on the website.)
English
You know how much I love my dogs! Here they are:
Valerie is the black one and Margret it the light brown one!
Have a go at this comprehension:
Maths
Shall we do a little more measuring? Please have a go at the following.
French
Have a think about some of the animals that you have looked at in Science over the past few weeks. You could think about any animals that you spot whilst you are on your walks around our lovely countryside. Try to find out how you would say the name of the animal in French. You could say it and record your voice or you could write the words down.
RE
We should be learning all about Guru's and Sikhism. See if you can find 4 facts about Guru's and the Sikh religion. You could write some facts down or draw some images about the religion.
Well done again and enjoy every minute of your weekend.
Love Miss W and the Year 4 Team

Good morning one and all,
Well it looks like a lot of you really enjoyed your VE Day celebrations. We certainly did. We could hear singing ringing out around our village. It was as if Vera Lynn was singing on our village green. There was even a man playing his big band (Glen Miller) music on a trumpet. We managed to go for our walk, which was glorious. We saw all sorts of birds, lots of sheep and lambs, cows and calves, a handful of people and even an old American car in a hidden field!
I spoke to Mum about how Auntie Sadie had celebrated VE Day back in 1945 and apparently, she wasn’t allowed to go, as she had school the next day, but she does remember lots of parties going on around near her house. My Dad also mentioned that his Grandfather had been on holiday once and he had loved Winston Churchill, so he decided to go and look at the house he lived in. When he arrived, a policeman told him that Churchill was walking around. He appeared behind him. My Great-Grandfather then called out and Winston Churchill gave him his famous Victory sign. I will put up some of your fabulous photos later today.
Can I also remind you about the words photo? We have had a few back, but would love some more.
Anyway, on to today, both Miss Watkins and Mrs Kendal are in school with Key Workers children today, so we might not be able to reply to your emails as speedily as usual!
English
I would like you to have a think about the stories that you have been writing for Mrs Kendal’s William. You can also think about a book that you are reading too. Can you pick out at least 10 words that you feel are powerful? Write these words out in your neatest handwriting. See this as a vocabulary and handwriting task please. If you would like to extend this task, you could use a thesaurus (there are some good ones online to be used with parental guidance) to find new words.
Maths
You have all been looking at symmetry this week. I thought that we move onto measurement of length. Have a go at these three sheets all about measuring length.
You can draw your own lines for the first task (above) if you prefer
Geography
Have a think about settlements again. You have looked at both close to home and a further away settlement. I would like you to begin to think about a totally new settlement. You are going to think about what a completely new town, village or city would need. Can you remember our work on Salts Mill? Can you draw a map of a new settlement, including all of the features that you would need and some that you would like? You can include a key to help identify the features. Make sure that you consider both physical and human features.
British Values
Have a think about the four key British Values - Democracy, Rule of Law, Respect and Tolerance and Individual Liberty. Can you create a poster to explain what these different values mean.
Hope you all keep safe and well. We still are not sure what will be happening over the next few weeks, just keep well and keep smiling.
Love Miss W and the Year 4 Team
