Good morning! 

We have been making the most of the sunny weather by spending lots of time in the garden and getting lots of jobs done. My husband is running out of things to jet-wash and I try not to stand still for too long outside in case he decides to jet-wash me! I hope that you are all managing to get lots of fresh air and exercise too. 

Here are today's suggested activities: 

English: 

Have a go at a Litz Blitz today. You will find one in your 2do list on Purple Mash.

Today I would like you to start a project on your favourite animal. This is your project so you can present it however you would like. Perhaps you could make a booklet with a front cover, diagrams and lots of interesting information or a fact-file with a picture in the middle and information around the outside. If you like using the computer, then a PowerPoint presentation would be another idea. 

As this is a project, I would not expect it to be completed all at once - you can keep adding to it over the week. 

Maths: 

Lots of you managed to complete yesterday's daily 8 questions on Purple Mash, well done. There is another one in your 2do list for today. 

Yesterday you had a go at solving addition and subtraction calculations. Today I would like you to practise using the inverse. 

In maths, we use the inverse to check our answers. The inverse is an operation that reverses the effect of another operation. 

Have a go at the questions below: 

                    

Topic: 

Can you invent a new creature by combining different body parts of other animals. For example your new creature could have the ears of an elephant, the teeth of a crocodile, the body of a chicken, the tail of a fox and the feet of a camel! 

Draw what your new creature looks like.

If you are feeling super creative today, you could raid the recycling bin and build a model of your new creature. Don't forget to give it a name. 

   

 Have a wonderful day.

Love from the year 4 team xx
