Happy Thursday everyone!  As always, you amaze me!  Such fantastic bread and those aqueducts would impress even the Romans!

Wow, it was hot yesterday and today is looking to be another hot day!  In light of that, I don't want to closet you up indoors, unless you are avoiding the sunshine!  I found that I tried to hide a little yesterday and even Teddy and Florence were too hot for the waterside!

Anyway on to today, and please remember these are always only suggestions of ideas for you.  Please feel free to tweak them and use them as you wish!

English

Bake off, or should I say bread off has been fantastic this week.  We made some flat bread for lunch and then filled it with brie, rocket and cranberry for me, chicken rocket and sweet chilli sauce for Ted and Florence went for a simple ham and cucumber.  Yummy all around.  Today I would like you to have a think about what you would have as a filling if you made a sandwich with your bread.  Imagine you own a sandwich shop, what would you have on the menu?  Think about the types of bread and the types of fillings that you include.  Can you write a menu for your shop?  You could give your sandwiches fun names and you could add descriptions of the sandwiches for us to read too.  These descriptions will help us to decide which sandwich to order from you!  I look forward to see what you come up with!

Maths

Can I start by reminding you about TT Rockstars?

It is close!  Come on guys, one last push!

I would like you to add prices to your sandwich menu.  Then can you use these prices to create some worded problems of your own, based on your menu.  They can be as tricky as you like.  You could ask how much the bill would be if I bought 2 chicken sandwiches and 1 ham and lettuce sandwich.  Or it could be that a bus load of tourists have come to eat your sandwiches and to make things simple they have ordered 32 ham sandwiches costing £2.50 each.  How much would they spend?  See how many different types of problems you can come up with.  

PE

We should all be enjoying cricket both in school and out of school at the moment and the weather is perfect for it!  I know a few local clubs have started a few nets.  The last time we had some cricket coaching in school, you amazed me with your skills.  Today, see if you can remember some of those skills.  Can you remember the "windmill" arm action?  Have a go at bowling a ball across your garden/drive or wherever else is safe.  If you have someone to help you, you could try some bowling and batting skills.  If you fancy a challenge (and you could get someone to video you), try the wheelie bin challenge.  See if you can bowl a ball into a marked place (possibly a wheelie bin, but could be a bucket!) or you could try hitting a ball to a target.  We would love to see your attempts.  Andy Murray had a go with a tennis racket and tennis ball last week!  He was not very good and did not get one in.  I wonder if Joe Root, Heather Knight or Ben Stokes would manage it?

Well done again, and don't forget to enjoy the hot weather, but as the song goes "Wear sunscreen"!

Love Miss Watkins and the Year 4 Team
