VE Day

On the 8th May, we will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of VE Day. We thought that it would be a great idea if you could still celebrate this at home.

Here are some ideas of what you could do:
Design a teacup t-h-321-ks2-ve-day-teacup-design-activity_ver_2
Design/create a medal t3-h-123-design-a-ve-day-medal-activity-sheet_ver_1
Decorate your house using bunting t-t-2548139-union-jack-template-display-bunting_ver_1

If you would like to explain this event to your child, here is a document that explains what VE Day is. t2-t-1578-ve-day-75th-anniversary-information-powerpoint-_ver_2

It would be lovely to see anything that you do to celebrate this occasion. Please send any pictures to the school email address so that these can be put onto the newsletter.

Year 4 Activities Update

Hi everyone,

We hope you are well and keeping safe with your families.

Below are some links to some resources and activities that the children can complete at home.

English – these resources look at the Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar that the children learn in Year 4.

Spring English Activity Booklet

 

Maths – There are a variety of Maths activities, from different units of work, that your child can complete.

Year 4 Spring-Themed Maths Activity Booklet

 

Science – During the Summer term, our Science topic is Animals including Humans and below we have attached some work based on the Digestive system (we will add some other topics on this unit of work soon). We suggest reading and completing the comprehension first and learn about the digestive system. This will then help you to understand the other two activities.

Digestive system comprehension

Digestive system cut and stick

Digestive system investigation

 

History – In History, during the summer term, our topic is Tudors. We have attached some resources linked to this subject (again, we will add more soon). We hope you have fun completing these!

Terrible Tudors Reading Comprehension

Tudor Shield – Make your own

Tudor Shield template

If you really enjoyed creating your own Tudor shield, why don’t you create your own shield using cardboard and paper mache if you feel adventurous. Please send any pictures to the school email address – we look forward to seeing them and hearing from you.

Take care

Our thank you message

Some of the children, who were in school during the first week of Easter, have created a video with a thank you message and a reminder to have faith. They used chalk to write words of thanks and decorate images of hope. Enjoy!

Keep Singing!

Hi Everyone

Did you know singing is good for your mental and physical health? You all know how much I love to sing! Well now the Sing Up website we use in my assemblies has released some resources to keep us all singing.

Have a go at the Song of the Week – One moment, one people. There is a video to help you and you can download lyrics too.

https://www.singup.org/singupathome/song-of-the-week

Make sure you also check out ‘Sing Up at Home’ where you will find a range of fun playlists and resources to keep you singing. There are even sign language videos.

https://www.singup.org/singupathome

We will be using some of these songs in assembly when we get back to school.

Have fun and keep singing

New Online Learning Resources

Hello everyone

I hope you all had a really good Easter and have not eaten too much chocolate!

As we begin the Summer Term we will begin looking at new topics. This term we will be finding out about the Tudors for our History topic and the digestive system and teeth in science.

To help support you there have been some super new resources released today. BBC Bitesize are producing weekly timetables and activities so make sure you check them out.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/tags/z63tt39/year-4-lessons/1

Please focus on the English and Maths resources, but have a go at the music and wellbeing.

The Oak Academy have also produced some fantastic resources. Not all of the foundation lessons are relevant so again focus on the English and Maths.

https://www.thenational.academy/online-classroom/year-4/#schedule

Check out the Henry VIII lessons as well – they are great. You will need paper, a pen/pencil and a ruler.

https://www.thenational.academy/year-4/foundation/henry-viii-year-4-wk1-1/#

Have fun!
