Good morning! 

Well done to all of you for getting back into your work yesterday. As I was in school, I had completely forgotten it was an inset day (the days and weeks seem to be merging into one).

We enjoyed playing out in the sunshine and having tiddlywink races across the hall yesterday - after we had finished our blog work of course! 

A big well done to Ella for adopting a tiger and writing a wonderful information leaflet all about this amazing animal. 

     

It looks as though we all need to be extra nice to Freddie when we see him... I think he's won the lottery! 

Here are today's suggested activities: 

Reading: 

Wow! So many of you had a go at the reading task I set yesterday: it's still in your Purple Mash 2do list until the end of the week if you didn't get chance. 

Continue to read your own books please. 

English: 

You did a super recap on apostrophes yesterday. We'll stick with the SPAG (spelling, punctuation and grammar) theme today. Have a go at the following: 

      

  

Maths: 

Have a look at these examples of short division (the bus stop method). We have used this method in class, so refresh your memory.

                        

Now have a go at these calculations (ignore the yellow numbers): 

    

Computing: 

When learning from home, we are all using the internet a lot more for research and help with school work - but how do we know that what we are reading is the truth? 

Have a think about how we can use the internet safely to find out information that is correct. 

Some computer programs have Easter Eggs hidden within them and I'm not talking about the tasty, chocolate kind brought by a giant bunny! 

Easter Eggs in computer land are jokes and hidden messages placed inside everyday programs.

Search for the following in Google and have a bit of fun: 

  • Askew (and click on the first result)
  • do a barrel roll (and click on the first result)
  • elgoog (and click on the first result)
  • zerg rush (can you defeat the o's?)
  • atari breakout (then click images and choose the first one)

I hope that 'wowed' you as much as it did me! 

Chocolate quiz results: 

Did you have a go at yesterday's chocolate quiz? If so, here are the answers: 

Hope you all have another lovely day. 

Love from Mrs Kendal and the year 4 team xx
