Good morning everyone!
Hope you all had a great day yesterday doing exciting activities for Mrs Kendall and Miss Watkins.
Before I give you your activities for today, here's a brief photo gallery! I've had so many wonderful photos sent this week; thank you so much everyone for your AMAZING hard work!
Max's chocolate crispie slices; yum!! Laurie's ice cube science!
Here's Laurie's geography too; comparing capital cities in the UK.
Here are your activities for today! Remember not to worry about struggling to complete everything if time is tricky; just select what you can do!
Maths;
8 questions;
- If it is 3:20, what time will it be in 30 minutes? (don't forget to count in 5s)
- If it's 4:25, what time will it be in 30 minutes?
- I have 8 angles, what shape am I?
- I have 5 sides, what shape am I?
- 342 - 8
- 654 - 5
- 35 x 5
- 655 divided by 5 (remember 'bus stop')
Problem;
If all the apples that come to school come in bags of 8, how many do I have if 6 bags arrive? If 2 are badly bruised, how many apples are left?
Activity;
I have set a revision 2Do on Purple Mash for you; it's adding ones to 3 digit numbers. You'll need a piece of paper and a pencil as you'll need to calculate your answers (you may need to use columns).
French;
Today I'd like you to begin to learn the days of the week. Here is a list of them and their English translations. Please could you copy both the French and the English and then cut them out, mix them up and try and match them. Perhaps you could use different colours for each day of the week; so both the French and the English Monday could be red, for example...
NB The 'i' at the end of the days = 'ee' sound
Monday = Lundi (pronounced lurndee)
Tuesday = Mardi (pronounced mardee)
Wednesday = Mercredi (pronounced mecredee)
Thursday = Jeudi (pronounced jurdee)
Friday = Vendredi (pronounced ventradee)
Saturday = Samedi (pronounced (samdee)
Sunday = Dimanche (pronounced deemornsh)
English;
Look back at our story of the 'Mousehole Cat'. Here's the link......
You could watch the videos again if you like;
Think carefully about the character Tom; he's the old man that owns Mowzer. Please can you draw a large colourful picture of Tom and label him with adjectives and descriptive phrases that depict his character.
History; (local history)
Many of you will have visited Castle Hill and certainly all of you will have seen it from a distance, but do you know anything about its history?
Please could you take your time and create a lovely detailed picture of Castle Hill; you can use paints, pastels, crayons or just a pencil. It is entirely up to you. You might decide to use Cezanne's style of painting!
Could you then try and find out as much information as you can about the history of Castle Hill. I'd like you to carefully write out individual captions of non-fiction information about Castle Hill's history and add these to your drawing/painting.
Reading;
After a busy day spend some lovely quiet 1 to 1 reading time with Mum or Dad
or you can read your next chapter on Purple Mash- it is up to you (there is a 2Do ready for you if you like).
Have a great day and remember to send me some of your photos; they're always great to see!
See you very, very soon!!

Transition Tuesday - 30.6.2020
admin on: Class 3
Well, what a treat for me! It is Transition Tuesday! Mrs Kendal and myself are so excited for September and all it will bring. I am especially excited to have you as a class, I have know you all since you began back in Reception! Mrs Kendal is just as excited! We will have such a fun year, as both Mrs K and myself love to have some fun, and a little hard work too! What a shame that we can not get together in person before the end of the year, but will do our best to make our Transition Tuesdays fun. I loved the work that you completed last week. Picasso is one of my favourite artists, and I am sure you will all remember how much I love art! Your All about Me posters and Math's were super too. So on to this week, and please remember that these are only guideline of suggested activities, but it would be so lovely to hear from you all.
English:
So I know you always used to love a challenge. Let's hope you still do. Last week was National Literacy Week and there was a short writing challenge set. The challenge asked 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. This is trickier than it sounds!
Please click on the link below:
Maths:
Here is a Countdown Number challenge. Again 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:
Last week you learnt all about Picasso's wonderful painting - The Weeping Woman, and created some fantastic art work of your own. Today, I would love for you to become "graffiti" artists. You are going to create your name in large, bubble print letters, and then think about Picasso and his amazing use of colour and shapes. Be bold and have fun with them. You can use your favourite colours, add patterns or even use pictures inside the letters to help give us even more of an idea about you, what you love and what makes you, you! Here are a few examples:
I can't wait to see them! If we get enough we might find a wall in the Year 4 classroom for them.
We are all really looking forward to hearing from you all. I can't wait to see what you get up to!
Don't forget to email us on class4@netherthongprimary.co.uk
Keep smiling and keep safe.
Love Miss Watkins and the Year 4 Team
