Good morning.  July is here:

Hot July brings cooling showers

Apricots and gillyflowers

Another of my favourite poems.  Happy memories of sitting on my Daddy's knee and reading it together.

On to today:

English:

Today and tomorrow I would love you to work on a double page spread.  You all will remember doing these fun pages.  Your topic is "Year 4!".  I would like you to think all the way back to the beginning of the year.  Can you remember some of the work that we completed, maybe the books we read and the topics that we covered?  Think about the Christmas play, any art work or Science that we have done!  Also think about the strange end to the year that we have had.  Think about all of these things and create a double page spread all about our time in year 4.  Remember that you can use photos, sketches, bubble writing and use pop outs of labels.  You can turn your page around and write in different directions, your choice.  Make it fun and colourful, and I cannot wait to read them.  Take your time and making as amazing as always.

Maths:

Here is a Countdown Number challenge.  This is a link to an education web page with a game.  You will have to select 6 numbers and a total.  Then can you create the total using only the numbers you have selected?  It might not always be possible.  You could write down how you worked it out, and don't be frightened to ask a grown up to help (or even have a go)!  You must get the nearest number that you can.

Here is the link:

Art:

I would love you to have a go at a still life drawing.  This can be lots of fun.  First of all you will need to gather a few objects.  These could be themed eg piece of fruit, shoes, cups or they can be random.  You might also consider the size of the objects, including height.  Collect maybe 3 or 4 things and try to position them together.  Then off you go.  You could use just a pencil or pen, and you can make it colourful or tonal.  You can also chose what you draw on - plain paper, coloured paper or you could be more inventive if you like.

Have some fun with your sketches and don't forget to send them in.

Finally:

A little bit of fun.  I set Teddy and Florence a challenge to see who could build the tallest house of cards!  They had lots of failed attempts and lots of fun giggling and trying different ways.  I wonder who could build the tallest one in Year 4?  Please send photos of your house of cards!

Here is Teddy and Florence's joint effort.  (Honestly!)

Love Miss Watkins and the Year 4 Team
