Good morning!
I had a lovely day in school yesterday. We were busy creating some huge, colourful wings with lots of painted feathers. Hopefully they will be finished today and I will post a photo.
Here are today's suggested activities:
English –
Today is interview day! Can you write some interview questions that you might ask someone, possibly from the WWF, about your endangered animal? See if someone in your house (it could even be a teddy) is prepared to be interviewed by you. If you can, you could record it and send it to us.
Maths –
Have a go at these money problems today.
Computing -
I would like you to experiment with 2animate. I have set it as a 2do for you all. Use this program to create your own simple animations. It would be helpful to watch the tutorial before you begin.
I am looking forward to seeing your creations.
As your computing session is on Purple Mash, I haven't set you a Litz Blitz or maths activity on there (I don't want you getting square eyes!) Instead can you think of an active, learning activity. We have found an amazing rope swing hidden in the woods and every-time we use it, we shout out our times-tables with every swing! Will also likes playing a hide and seek game with his phonics cards... learning on the move!
Let me know if you think of any good ones - I may 'borrow' them!
Have a wonderful day.

Everyday object art!

I had a go at creating a piece of art using an everyday object; here's my finished sketch as promised!
Thank you for sending me some of yours, they are great. I've posted them here for us all to enjoy!

Thank you so much for sending me such amazing stories to read to Will. I can't tell you how pleased and excited he is to have lots of new bedtime books. My printer has decided to stop working so I am going to print out your stories in school tomorrow (sshhh, don't tell Miss Kelly!) I can then read them this week and I'll let you know what he thinks of them all.
It was lovely to receive so many photos of you in your school uniform - although they did make me miss you even more than I already do! I will post some of the photos from last week later on today.
Sophie and I have been enjoying our daily walks during lockdown and this weekend we decided to challenge ourselves. We walked from our house in Skelmanthorpe all the way to my Mum and Dad's house in Wooldale (to wave hello from a safe distance!). We worked out that we had walked nearly 8 miles - luckily Sophie's Daddy picked us up so we didn't have to walk home!
This week I will be working in school so I will try to answer all of your emails as soon as I get home (please don't think I'm ignoring you!)
Today's suggested activities are as follows:
English:
This week we are going to be thinking all about endangered animals. Towards the end of the week you will be hosting your own nature programme about endangered animals, which might include interviews and PowerPoints. Today we would like you to begin your research.
Click on the link here, it will take you to the World Wildlife Fund website. https://www.wwf.org.uk/
Explore the website and see what you can find out. You can make notes about the endangered animals and investigate in books or on other websites that you know.
Maths:
Please complete the sheet below. It is all about money this week!
Science:
During these strange times and different lives that we are all living at the moment, our environment is also changing. Can you think of any ways that our environment has changed during the past few months of lockdown. How are animals adapting to the new, slower paced world that we are living in?
Purple mash:
Don't forget to have a go at today's Litz Blitz and the maths activity. I have put them on your 2do lists.
Have a lovely day.
Love from Mrs Kendal and the year 4 team xx
