Good morning! 

I just want to start by saying a huge well done to Mrs Barker for completing the Netherthong Race for Life challenge yesterday and a big thank you to everyone who has donated money towards such a fantastic cause. 

Today's suggested activities are as follows: 

English: 

After completing your plan and draft version, you are  now ready to create your final story book. You can choose whether your book is hand-written or created using a computer programme (Powerpoint, Publisher or Word). Think carefully about the layout of your book. You can write in different styles, making some of the words bigger or colourful (think Tom Gates). Each page should also be illustrated (Will loves looking at the pictures in books). 

When your story is complete, add a front cover and a blurb. 

I am looking forward to receiving your finished stories. 

Maths: 

Can you conduct your own mathematical investigation? 

Test a partner's reaction time by recording how fast they can grasp a ruler (or similar object) when you drop it between their fingers (if you use a timer on a smartphone, you can record the milliseconds).Repeat 5 times and record the results. Think about what method would be best for recording your data. 

Choose one of these theories: 

  • The older you are the slower your reactions.
  • Your reactions will get better over time.
  • Girls will be quicker than boys.
  • Boys will be quicker than girls.
  • If you are left handed your reaction speed will be quicker with your left hand.
  • If you are right handed your reaction speed will be quicker with your right hand. 

Design an investigation to test your theory. 

When you have recorded your results display your findings in a graph (think carefully about the type of graph you choose). Make sure you label your axes and give your graph a title.   

Art: 

Can you create a piece of artwork using everyday objects? 

Here are some examples:

   

I'm going to have a go at this today - maybe I'll share my work with you (if you promise not to laugh!). 

Purple Mash: 

Have a look at your 2do list. It's great to see so many of you completing the tasks on there. 

Have a lovely day. 

Love from Mrs Kendal and the year 4 team xx
