I hope you all managed to enjoy a little bit of the sunshine yesterday.
Thank you for posting comments and sending emails - they really do brighten up our day.
Your suggested activities for today are as follows:
Active time -
Get yourselves up and moving. I'm really enjoying the Joe Wicks PE lessons at 9am but there are lots more options to try. I've posted some links below:

If you fancy doing something a little different, you could always plan your own routine instead. Remember the warm ups you created in PE? Your ideas were great!
English -
I hope your little paper boat stories are coming on nicely. Don't forget to plan, write and edit your own work just as we do in class.
Well done Jessica for emailing me your work - you have made a wonderful start!
Below is a Litz Blitz for you to have a go at. I'll post the answers tomorrow:
1) A or an? _____ exciting party.

6) Rewrite these words as a contraction: we would

Maths -
I have assigned you some work on Mathletics all about grams, kilograms and converting between the two.
James, Eva and Sarah did some wonderful work yesterday estimating the weight of objects - thank you for sharing it with us.
Art -
This painting is called The Great Wave by Hokusai.
Study the painting (you may need to search on the internet for a larger version). What can you see? Are there any clues to tell you more about the artist? Is it old or modern?
Could you create your own artwork inspired by this picture? Your picture could be pencil drawn, coloured, painted or even a collage.
You know we like to see how creative you can be! Don't forget to send pictures of your finished work.
Have a lovely day.

Good morning Class 4.
I hope you all had a lovely day yesterday and managed to get some of the work done. Don't forget, I would love to see what you have been up to, so please send photos or files to our class email address: class4@netherthongprimary.co.uk.
Here are the suggested activities for today:
Active time -
If you didn't manage to catch the Joe Wicks PE session yesterday, please try today. I followed the routine with my children and it was a great start to the morning! Please follow the link to join in the fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz0go1pTda8
English -
Over the next couple of days I would like you to use your imagination and picture a little paper boat being released onto a river.
Using what we now know about the path a river takes, plan and write the story of the little boat and its journey.
You will need to think about the places that the boat will travel through, the things it will pass and the dangers it will face. You can decide whether your boat makes it all the way to the sea, gets stuck along the way or maybe something happens to it on its travels.
Be as creative as I know you are!
Try and include the following targets in your writing?
A) I can use a range of different openers.
B) I can use noun phrases (eg biting cold wind).
C) I can make appropriate noun or pronoun choices.
D) I can use commas after fronted adverbials (eg Later that day, he heard bad news).
E) I can write in paragraphs.
Maths -
We are gong to spend a few days thinking about weight.
Have a look in your kitchen cupboards (with an adult), can you find anything that weighs 1kg? Have a good feel of the object then try to estimate the weight of other items.
Write down the name of the item, your estimate and the actual weight.
Why not challenge a family member to see who can get the closest estimate!
Computing -
Over the last few weeks we have done lots of work on the logo section of Purplemash.
See if you can use your new skills to create a picture. Try and use the repeat function if you can.
Have a great day!
Mrs Kendal, Miss Watkins, Mrs Scott and Miss Kewley.
Monday - Day one 23.3.2020

Good morning everyone,
What a gloriously sunny weekend we have had. As usual, we will start our day with a chat. What have you been up to over the weekend. As the sun had been shining, we have spent most of it outside in the garden, chopping trees, playing and painting fences!
How does a quick PE lesson to begin with sound? Let's get our brains and bodies woken up! Joe Wicks is holding love PE lessons at 9am every morning on his YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ.
You will find lot of other physical activities that you can dip in and out of too.
Once you have done some PE, let's move on to do some Literacy.
This morning we would like you to read a chapter of the book you are reading at home. Can you then draw a picture of your favourite character from the story? Don't forget to write the name of the book and the character. Then write a clear description of the character and explain why it is your favourite, making sure that you use noun phrases, conjunctions, good punctuation and neat handwriting. We can't wait to hear which books you are reading.
We also wondered if you would like to write a little diary entry for each day. Just a couple of sentences about what is going on in your lives or the news would be great and an amazing record of this strange time for the future!
Ok - now take a break. It is playtime!
Maths - Begin by going on https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button. This is a fun online game to help with times tables. Once you have had a go with the tables game (challenge yourself with them), have a go at a speed table. Don't forget you only get 5 minutes and please let us know your times!
After that can you create your own times tables flash cards (for all the tables up to 12). You will find these helpful, and you can make up lots of games using them!
LUNCHTIME - no need for bands today! DO you think your lunch would be a green or brown band?
Topic- As we have been learning about rivers this half term, we would like you to pick a river from anywhere in the world. Draw a clear diagram of the whole river and make sure it is clearly labelled.
End of the day - Have a go at a couple of GoNoodles - https://www.gonoodle.com/ These are really fun dance activities we do at school. You can set up your own log on. It is free!
We know this is tricky to do at home and we don't want to make it too stressful for everyone concerned - both adults and children. Please feel free to be in touch, we can't wait to hear from you, send us news of what you are doing and how your work is going. You can email and comment on the blog.
Keep going! Don't forget that we all know how amazing you are.
Keep safe!
Miss Watkins, Mrs Kendal, Mrs Kewley and Mrs Scott
