Hello Class 4, Mr. K here again! I've got some more work for you today. A big thank you to everyone who sent me in their work yesterday. I really enjoyed reading them. If I haven't got back to you yet, I promise I will as soon as possible! 

Writing

Remember those Guides to Year 5 that my class wrote for you? I would love it if you could write a letter to a Year 5 pupil with some questions about Year 5.

This is how I would like you to structure the letter:

• Start it with 'Dear Year 5 Pupil'  (or, if you know someone in my class, you can write to them directly.
• Tell them who you are, and what you have done in Year 4. Explain what you enjoyed about Year 4.
• Write what you think Year 5 will be like, and then finish with a couple of questions for them.

It doesn't have to be a long letter at all, just a couple of paragraphs.

I will then send these on to some Year 5 pupils, who will reply to you over the next few days. 

Reading

I am super interested to know what books you have been reading this year. Sarah has already told me she has read the Harry Potter series. 

So I would love it if you could send in a picture of the book your reading and tell me a little bit about it.

Maths

Usually, when I get a new class, I check how they are with the written methods for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Today, I would like to see how you find the written column method for addition. Some of you may find this work slightly easy, which is fine. I think it is important to recap the methods involved in maths before we move on to other things.

So, here are 10 addition questions. I would like you to lay them out using the written method you have been taught, and keep the work nice and neat. If you want, you could send in a photo of your work, so I can see how neat it is! Top tip: make sure you line up the columns correctly, using place value to help you. 

1.) 625 + 312

2.) 674 + 219

3.) 884 + 389

4.) 5,983 + 487

5.) 419 + 2761

6.) 5093 + 2967

7.) 7054 + 2093

8.) 456.32 + 492.16        Yes that is a decimal! Just line up the columns correctly as normal, and make sure you put the decimal in your answer.

9.) 56.43 + 21.86

10.) Jeff travels 5493 metres on his bike one day. The next day he rides a further 3921 metres. How many metres has he ridden altogether?  For a bonus point, can you tell me how much that is in kilometres? 

Art

I have heard that this class like art! So I thought I would give you a little art project this afternoon.

On this link, there is a video about Henri Rousseau, a French artist that we are learning about next year. He painted lots of pictures of the jungle, even though he had NEVER been! He had to use his imagination to help him.

Today, I would like you to create a piece of art which involves a place you've never been to. It could be a desert, or the bottom of the ocean, or a jungle like Rousseau did. There are some more videos on there with tips on how to create different pieces of art. I recommend you watch these before you decide.

I'm looking forward to seeing your works of art! I will post them on the blog later this week.

PE

Try to stay active in whatever way you can. How many steps can you get to today?

Thanks,

Mr. K
