Hello everyone!
I hope you've been having a brilliant time in this gorgeous hot weather.
Today is going to be hotter still I think, so I thought you needed some activities to cool you down!
Here we go.....
Science;
Here's a little extra Science job! Your challenge is to conduct an experiment to find out which flavour of homemade ice cube (or ice pop) is the tastiest. You may think you know which is your favourite but have you really tested it to see? Which do you predict will be the best? You could do a blind trial to see if you were correct; that means you'll need to make a selection and taste each one without looking. You could make some interesting new flavours! You might want to score them out of 10. It's up to you!
Send me a photo of you doing the experiment or send me your results!
Literacy;
As you'll be getting hot in the sun today, please could you either make your own healthy smoothie or fruit kebab.
I love smoothies and fruit kebabs so please can you write a list of instructions on how to make it.
Take care with your handwriting, spelling and punctuation!
Please take a photo to show me what you created!
Maths;
Here's a few problems for you to solve! Please can you write your calculations?
- If I made 27 orange ice cubes, 15 lemon ice cubes and 34 pineapple ice cubes, how many would I have made altogether?
- If I poured 5L 250ml water in the paddling pool and then added 3L 125mls more water how much would there be in the pool?
- I made 1L 750mls smoothie but then knocked over the jug and spilt 228mls. How much did I have then?
- Mum made a tasty pizza to eat at lunchtime in the garden. She cut it into 10 tenths. If Sophie had 2/10, Mia had 2/10, Alfie had 1/10 and Laurie had 2/10, how much would be left?
- If I made 32 tiny sandwiches and needed to share them out between 8 teachers, how many would they have each?
- If I made a 1 litre jug of juice and drank 400mls, how much would I have left?
Reading;
Make a cool den in the garden and spend a little time reading to Mum or Dad. You could put your favourite teddy/teddies in your den and read to them too. If you have a younger sister, brother or a pet they may want to listen too! Can you answer questions on your book?
Well, that's all folks!!
Enjoy your day and have lots of fun in the sun!
See you soon,
Mrs Matthews x
A big thank you!

Hello, Mrs Kendal here again. I'm just sneaking a quick blog onto your page (ssshhh, don't tell Mrs Matthews) to say a very big thank you for all of the wonderful work I have received. I can't wait to get to know you all in September.
Here are some of the Picasso pictures that you have created:

Hello again fabulous year 3!
I missed you all yesterday! I hope you enjoyed reading your blog from Mrs Kendall and had fun doing your lovely art activity.
Here are some activities for today, but please do enjoy the lovely weather and don't feel you need to do all these activities today; select what you can manage.
French:
Let's practise some of the French we worked on earlier in the year. We looked at conversational French. You can work with Mum or Dad to do some drama and have a French conversation OR you could draw 2 people with a speech bubble each and add the sentences they may say to each other (examples below). Remember to use accurate punctuation.
Here are some spellings that may help you..
Bonjour.............. (Hello)
Salut...............(Hi)
Je m'appelle............... (My name is)
J'ai cinq ans.........................(I am 5 years old)
Ca va?.....................(Are you ok?)
Ca va bien merci...............(I'm fine thank you)
Ca va mal...............(I'm not very well)
Bonsoir................(Good evening)
Au revoir....................(Goodbye)
Maths;
8 questions;
- 5 x 8
- 7 x 4
- 8 x 3
- 40 divided by 8 (remember to use the information in number 1)
- 40 divided by 5
- 24 divided by 3 (use the information in number 3)
- 453 + 128
- 726 - 282
Problem;
Here is a number sentence; 34 + 25 = 59.
Can you write any other number sentences using these numbers?
Activity;
Let's try some bar chart problems today; choose either A or B
English;
Activity;
Look back at our story, 'Mousehole Cat' or watch the video clip below. Today I'd like you to be thinking about Tom on his boat in the middle of the storm.
Can you draw Tom in his boat in the middle of the horrific storm and then write a list of exciting descriptive sentences to tell me what he would have seen, heard and how he would have felt? Use fabulous adjectives.
eg Large crashing waves towered above him.
His boat rocked wildly from side to side.
Tell me about the waves, the sky, the weather, his boat, Mowzer, his feelings etc. Think about what he saw, heard, felt. You don't need to write lots, just a few examples for each.
Here's a clip....

Geography;
I'd like you to work with Mum or Dad to search for and print out images of London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. Can you locate them on a map of UK too? Talk to Mum or Dad about any similarities or differences between them.
Please stick the images in your book; use a column for each city, but remember to label your columns.
As always, please don't think you have to complete all these activities in one day; select those activities you can manage and do go out and enjoy the lovely sunshine. We may not get a week quite as wonderful as this one!
Have a fun day!
See you soon,
Mrs Matthews
Transition Tuesday 23rd June 2020
admin on: Class 3
Good morning Class 3, Mrs Kendal here!
For the next few weeks, either Miss Watkins or I will be writing your blog every Tuesday. If you were back in school, we would be having some transition sessions which would give us the chance to get to know you and you the chance to get to know us before September. As this is not possible, I hope that we can do that through your blog instead.
The activities that I am adding to your blog are only suggestions. You may feel like doing all, some or none of them – whichever you decide is fine.
Here are my ideas for today:
All about me -
When we have a transition day in school, Miss Watkins and I love finding out about the things our new class loves doing and what makes each person unique.
Today I would love to find out a bit about you. This could be presented in a poster, a letter, photos or an email.
Before you start, here’s a bit about me - I wonder if you can work out what each picture represents?
If you would like to tell me a bit about yourself (in your chosen style) please send emails and pictures to class4@netherthongprimary.co.uk
Maths -
Are you good at solving problems? Have a go at this Maths problem. You could even use real playing cards if you have some.
Art -
Miss Watkins and I are both big fans of art (as you will find out next year); Miss Watkins happens to be rather more talented than me though!
Picasso was a very famous artist who created very weird and wonderful drawings and paintings. Here are some of his creations:
As you can see, he painted faces in rather an unusual way!
Have a go at creating your own Picasso masterpiece by playing this game:
I would love to see some of your finished masterpieces! If you can, send me a picture to class4@netherthong.primary.co.uk
I am really looking forward to getting to know you all and I hope that you have fun with some of these activities.
Have a wonderful day!
Love from Mrs Kendal and the year 4 team xx

Good morning everyone!
First, our photo gallery....
Charlie's Mousehole landscape! Archie's Sun Safety poster!
Emma's Sun Safety poster! Mia working on her Mousehole landscape!
Sophie delivering her beautiful rainbow cake to the team of paramedics at Honley Ambulance Station; what a lovely thank you Sophie!
Oscar's Mousehole storm painting! Arjeta has been working hard on her Mousehole storm too!
Well done everyone!
Now here are some activities for Monday! Remember, please don't feel you must do them all today; select those you can manage and save others for another time.
Reading;
I have set a 2Do for you on Purple Mash; select either Diamonds; 'Anna and the third leaf' chapter 1 and questions (these books are easier than Emeralds)
OR
Emeralds; 'Animal Boy' chapter 1 and questions
If you prefer a different text please do select one. Some children may find 'Fire Bolt' texts a little easier or Sapphires for a trickier book.
Literacy;
Today please could you complete the 'Root Words' activity in your grammar text book pg 36. Remember a root word is the original word to which a prefix or suffix is added.
This will help to consolidate the Purple Mash activity the children completed last week.
Maths:
8 questions;
- Subtract 200 from 456
- 453 plus 228
- 34 x 4
- 54 x 5
- Add 50 to 428
- Subtract 238 from 472
- 1/3 of 39
- How many angles in an octagon?
Problem;
If I bought 4 ice lollies costing 43p each and an ice cream costing 55p how much will I have spent all together?
Activity;
Let's try solving some problems concerning frequency tables. Have a go at either section A, B or C
Baking;
At some point this week you might want to try and bake a very tasty chocolate crispie cake with Mum or Dad as a reward for working so hard during 'lockdown'. Once you have done that, I have set a great 2Do on Purple Mash; it's a fun way to create a simple recipe for the chocolate crispie cake; you'll enjoy it! It will help you practise your computing skills too!
Print it out if you can and I can post yours on the blog!!
Have a lovely day and do enjoy your activities tomorrow; Mrs Kendall will be setting you some tasks tomorrow as she and Miss Watkins will be teaching year 4 next year! They are both so lovely! I bet you'll be doing some super activities!
I'll be back in touch on Wednesday!
Miss you all!
See you soon,
Mrs Matthews
