Spellings

We may not be in school to complete our weekly spelling tests, but don’t let that stop you from practising them! You can test yourself or get your family members on-board and test one-another!

Attached are the spelling lists for each year group and a ‘Spelling Menu’ which suggests lots of fun ways that you could practise them. Be creative! We’d love to see how many different, imaginative ways you can find to help you to learn them.

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all doing well and looking after your families.

During World Book Week, remember how you tried to guess my favourite book?

Well – here it is ‘The Magic Faraway Tree’ by Enid Blyton.

In the story, three children (Joe, Bessie and Fanny) discover a magical tree in the woods near there house. In the tree they meet many magical characters and get to visit fantasy lands where they have amazing adventures. Some of the lands they visit are: Land of Topsy-Turvy, Land of Goodies, Land of Take What you Want and the Land of Do as you Please. I am sure you can imagine the fun you could have in these places.

Your Task

I would like you to imagine your own fantasy land. Be as imaginative and creative as you can. Perhaps you would like a land of sweets and cakes, rainbows and unicorns or a football themed land. Then I would like you to:

  1. Paint/draw/make your land – be as creative as you can.
  2. Write a description of the land.
  3. Write a story about an adventure that could happen in your land.

Remember to share your pictures and stories on twitter or email them to school so I can see your wonderful creations.

Good luck and have fun!

Year 4 – White Rose Maths: Week 1

Hi all,

I have attached links to White Rose Week 1 lessons. They are looking at decimals and the link they have to fractions. Year 4 children looked at this at the start of Spring 2 so it would be great for them to complete to reinforce what they have already learnt.
