Happy Wednesday everyone. I must say how impressed Mr K is with you all. Obviously Mrs Kendal and myself are not at all surprised! I hope you are all keeping well and still smiling. That is most important!
English
We loved your shape poems this week. Today I would like you to become a performance artist. A lot of poems are written to be said aloud and not just read in our heads. Some poets even dance their poems. There are some very famous poets who "perform" their poems. Micheal Rosen, John Hegley and Benjamin Zephaniah. Maybe you know a few more. Below are the links to a poem performed by Benjamin Zephaniah and a "How to perform" by Michael Rosen. Have a little look at these two video clips. Then select a poem, you can find lots online with a grown up helping you or in many poetry books. I have posted one of my favourites, especially in the accent I had as a child!

Once you have selected a poem, have a go at reading it out loud to someone in your house. You could even try to learn it off by heart. You could record it and send us a little video too.
Maths
Here is another puzzle for you. I will post the answer tomorrow!
Please don't forget to keep having a go at Mathletics and TT Rockstars.
Art
Today this will link with your English and poetry. Your shape poems were wonderful, so I would like you to use the poem you have been performing today, to create or inspire a piece of art work. It could be an image from the poem or a picture that makes you think of the poem. You can paint or draw it, it is totally your choice. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Let your imaginations go wild!
Thanks and have fun!
Love Miss Watkins and the Year 4 team.
