Year 4 – Friday 27th March
Good Morning Year 4!
We hope you had a lovely day yesterday. Lots of you completed our survey by voting for your favourite topic and there has been a clear winner – Mythical Creatures! Your teachers have already started thinking about some exciting lessons which link to this topic for next week’s learning.
Big Cats, Superheroes and Inventions also proved very popular so we will also try and include some creative ideas linked to these topics during the Easter Holidays.
Today we have a TTRockstars battle with Year 3 between 9am and 3pm. Let’s see if we can retain our victory from last week, gaining as many correct answers as possible! Good luck!
Here is a link to a worship which you might like to use today as a family or at some point over the weekend: https://www.stmarksprimary.net/category/worship
We hope you have a lovely day today and enjoy your weekend. Remember to stay safe and follow government guidelines.
Mrs Tunnicliffe, Miss Goddard, Mrs Happy & Miss Hardy

Presentation – Please remember to do your very best work. Handwriting and presentation are as important at home as they are in school. You can complete your work in a book or if you need lined or squared paper you can get it here.
Note for parents: Hopefully your children will enjoy working through these activities and can do independently. We completely understand it may be difficult to complete all these tasks due to other family commitments or you are working from home, so please do not worry; complete what you can with your child.

Maths – Times Tables and Maths Game
Usually on a Friday you do your times tables challenge so below are links to the Big Maths ultimate challenge or the Big Maths Step 15 challenge. If you are able to print them off, you can use them and set yourself a timer to see how quickly you can complete them in.
Here is a maths game for today – Strike It Out. See if you can play against different people in your house. Are you able to cross out all of the numbers in one game? For extra information and a tutorial click this link: https://nrich.maths.org/6589/index
English & Spellings
Friday is traditionally spelling test day. Well done for all your hard work on Spelling Shed this week.
Ask someone at home to test you on this week’s spellings: caught, laughter, daughter, naughtiest, naughty, taught. For those of you with pink words: kind, mind, behind, climb, child, find.
Parents/carers: At school we tend to say the word, say the word in a sentence and then repeat the word.
Your spellings for the week ahead are below and they will go live on Spelling Shed at 12 noon.
Thank you to those who have been sending in work from your fairground writing. Today’s English is also below and encourages you to write (and maybe record!) your own Newsround bulletin, reporting on the grand opening of your new theme park ride – have fun!
Topic – Art & Design
Over the last few days, you have been thinking about a new fairground ride and today we would like you to create some eye-catching lettering. In the video tutorial, Miss Goddard will teach you some new lettering techniques such as choosing colours, fonts, word shapes, shading, blending and using patterns to make your work look professional! Really think about the theme of your ride and how your lettering can represent that theme through the techniques which you use. We would love to see some of your artwork when you have finished.
