Good morning Class 4!
How did we end up in July already? What a strange year we are having.
Brooke has had some very special visitors this week – six, yes six stray cats have arrived in her garden (a mum with five kittens), looking for a place to stay. Keep us updated Brooke!
We are very proud of Jessica this week. She has earned herself a Blue Peter badge by sending in her VE day poem. Well done Jessica, what a great achievement.
Lots of you have been busy in the kitchen, baking some delicious bread. Well done to all of you.
Here are today’s suggested activities:
English:
Can you make a silly speech?
Below is a list of topics that I am sure you don’t agree with. Pretend that you do and give lots of reasons why you agree with them. Try and speak for at least one minute on each topic.
When you have delivered your speeches, you can pick two or three topics to write down all of the reasons you gave (or film one if you prefer). Don’t forget, be persuasive! Try and make people really believe what you are saying.
- Reasons why I love homework.
- Reasons why I love having holes in my socks.
- Reasons why I love smelly feet.
- Reasons why I love my mobile phone/tablet running out of battery.
- Reasons why I love raw onions.
- Reasons why I love rainy days.
- Reasons why I love everyone forgetting my birthday.
- Reasons why I love people with loud voices.
- Reasons why I love getting the same present twice on my birthday.
- Reasons why I love sitting in front of people who talk and kick my seat in the cinema.
Maths:
You could pick actual ties out of a bag (if there are enough in your house that you are allowed to use) or you could cut up the tie pictures and pull them out of a bag without looking. It's your investigation, so you decide.
History:
The Roman army was the largest and meanest fighting force in the ancient world.

If you are feeling creative today, you could have a go at building a Roman catapult. Here are the instructions:
If you want to go even bigger...
Just for fun:
Using the letters in the word HOLIDAY make as many four-letter words as you can without repeating any letters within each word.
There are 11 words to find – I wonder if you’ll get them all!
Have a wonderful day!
Love from Mrs Kendal and the year 4 team xx
