Good morning everyone!

Let's hope it's another sunny day!

Thank you so very much for all the wonderful photos you have sent; you have all been working so hard. Keep a look out on the blog later today as I'll post more of them. They're too good to miss!

Here's today's activities, but do remember to just select activities if there are too many for you; stay happy and have lots of fun!

P.E. Join Joe Wicks on You Tube once again for his Friday workout! Alternatively, try making another fabulous assault course. Can you improve on your last one?

Spelling and handwriting;

I have noticed quite a few of you are forgetting to join your writing!! I know it's probably the heat of the warm weather!! However, I'd really like you to practise it as you are all fabulous at joining. There should be a collection of handwriting sheets in your pack; choose one and have a go in your exercise book. Take your time!

Spelling;

Please could you work really hard at trying to learn as many of the year 3/4 common exception words as you can; try just a few each day and write the words you're working on 4 times if you can. Use different coloured felt pens if it helps too. Here's a link to a mat that will include those words for years 1, 2, 3 and 4 so you can practise easier ones too!

Literacy;

Have you heard of 'Anne Frank's Diary'? She wrote a diary during the 2nd World War and it is really famous today. I'd really like you all to write a diary for today (so we all write about our experiences during lockdown on the same day). I'll do one too! Write a diary of everything you do today and add some pictures/photos. You might want to handwrite it or you could complete it on the computer. You might also decide to tell us if you were able to stay up to clap for the NHS last night too. Try and include all those things that are really different to normal. Have a go and present it in any way you like; keep it exciting and colourful too!

Maths:

1. Keep practising 'Times tables Rockstars'; it will get easier and easier!!

2. Today I'd like you to complete two activities on 'Mathletics'; these are in the Geometry section; one is a shape sorting activity and one is an activity on right angles. If you have already done one of these please have another go. Keep searching for right angles, acute angles and obtuse angles around the home too!

Science

1. Remember, a few weeks ago I asked you to plant either 3 sunflower seeds or 3 beans and label them A, B, C. One was to have sunlight and water, the next sunlight but no water and the final one water but no sunlight. If you did this, did you create a table to display your results? You needed to compare the growth of the 3 plants; you could do this by counting leaves and measuring the height every week. What findings did you get? If you didn't get chance before, perhaps set it up during the holiday. Keep noting your results. Lets see who grows the biggest sunflower or the tallest bean plant!!

2. SHADOWS; can you find out why a shadow is formed? During the sunny weather keep looking for shadows and work out what causes them. You then have a challenge; 'To find out which material makes the best shadow'. You may want to try clear plastic, coloured plastic, glass, cardboard, wood, paper or some other materials. Create a little experiment of your own (with Mum or Dad helping) to find out which works the best. How will you know? Will it be darker or longer? You might want to make shadow puppets to help you decide!

Let me know how you do your experiment and what you find out!

Well, that's all folks!!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a brilliant week's holiday; relax, have fun and enjoy this lovely sunshine.

Take care and stay safe and happy!

See you soon!

Mrs Matthews
