Hi everyone.  Friday is here again.  It does creep around quickly!  I hope that you have had a good week.  Let's hope that the rain goes away and lets us have a little sunshine over the weekend.  I wonder what types of things you get up to in the rain?  I always love a jigsaw or a board game.  Racing raindrops down the window is always rather silly too!

English:

Today's job with your poetry is to perform the poem you wrote on Thursday.  Remember how the poets performed their poems with lots of expression and even some movement, which you could do if you feel like it. It might be fun if you dressed up or had a few props too.  Then get the video camera running and record your performance for us.  Unfortunately, we cannot post videos onto the blog, but we might hopefully be able to get some on the website in the future.

Maths:

Today we are going to have a times tables session.  Have a go at speed tables and then get on TT Rockstars.  I have set a battle for you.  Boys versus girls again, sorry it is the only way that I can split you up fairly!

Here are the answers for yesterdays puzzles:

Art

Has anyone heard of Nicéphore Niépce or Ibn al-Havtham?  These people are some of the amazing inventors who helped to invent very early versions of cameras, including the Camera Obscura.  If you fancy a little research project you could have a little look at the history of cameras and who has been involved in developing them into the amazing cameras we have today.  Here are a few examples of photography over the years, sometimes it tells a story and sometimes is is wonderfully artistic.

                               

History of photography - Wikipedia                         

I would like you to turn into a photographer today.  You can decide what topic you want to photograph.  It could be a photograph of something from nature or it could be a still life of a group of objects that you have gathered together.  You could have people in it or even animals.  I will look forwards to seeing your photographs.  I wonder who will be the next Dorothea Lange, David Bailey or Peter Essick?

Well done again and I am really looking forward to hearing from you.

Love Miss Watkins and the Year 4 Team
