Good morning everyone.  Goodness it was warm yesterday!  I was in school and during playtime we tried desperately to find some shade.  It was tricky!

English

Hi, I am wondering if you are all breaded out by now!  I think Netherthong smells even more delightful than usual with all of the bread that has been baked!  Well done all of you bakers.

Today I have a speedy challenge for you.  Click on the blue writing below and it will take you to a link on BBC Bitesize.

Writing Challenge - 24/7

The challenge asks you to write a story.  There are a few rules that you have to follow.  You are only to use 24 words and it must only take you 7 minutes!  The story must also begin "One Day..."  Not many rules to follow, but you must stick to them.  The link has a few videos to help you plan what you will write.  Obviously this is to only take you 7 minutes, so you might like to do more than one.  You could do a few and create a 24/7 book!  I will look forward to reading your stories.

Maths

Don't forget that today is the last day for your TT Rockstars tournament.  You are amazing me and it has run really closely so far.  I will announce the winners later.

Here is a challenge for you:

Nine squares, with sides lengths of 1, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15 and 18 cm can be fitted together with no gaps and no overlaps, to form a rectangle.

What are the dimensions of the rectangle?

There are different ways that you could tackle this.  You could use squared paper, cut out the actual squares to play around with or you might find a way with the numbers and sums?

Here are some images of a few attempts:

Give it a go!

Art

The Romans were well known for their art work.  They loved to adorn things with their work.  One way they are remembered is by their mosaics.  These have been found on walls and floors and are made from small coloured tiles, pieces of glass or stones.  They help to tell stories sometimes or are just images and patterns that look pretty.  Here are some examples of incredibly old mosaics:

I would love for you to have a go at creating a mosaic of your own.  You could do a pattern or a picture.  It is up to you, as are the materials that you use.  You could paint it or use natural materials or you could use small squares of paper.

Other

If you have not already, it would be lovely to have a video of you baking some bread or cooking something else.  You could pretend to be TV Chef!

Have a wonderful weekend.  Keep safe and keep smiling.

Love Miss W and the Year 4 Team
