Year 4 – Tuesday 31st March
Good Morning Year 4!
We hope that you are well on this Tuesday morning. Thank you so much for sending us your Mythical Creatures. Your creativity has been amazing and we have really enjoyed seeing such a wide variety. If you haven’t had a chance to share your creature with us, please do as we love hearing from you.
Today you will have the opportunity to include your mythical creature in your writing. You also have a very special treat as Miss Stonehouse has made you a very special Year 4 French video. It goes live at 8am today and you will need to use the normal video password to watch it.
Have a lovely day and keep in touch,
Mrs Tunnicliffe, Miss Hardy, Mrs Happy and Miss Goddard

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.

Maths – Tenths as Decimals
We hope that you enjoyed your first White Rose maths lesson yesterday. Today’s lesson will help you to link your understanding of tenths as decimals. Remember every fraction can be written as an equivalent decimal!

English – Using Rhyme to Describe
I am sure many of you know the story of the Gruffalo very but have a listen to the book again and focus on the descriptions the mouse gives of the Gruffalo. How does he describe him? What do you notice about rhyming?

Once you have listened to the story, we want you to re-write the part of the book where the Gruffalo is being described. The description will have to fit your Mythical Creature. As well as that, your challenge is to ensure that your description follows the same rhyming pattern.
Open the document to see the original description and then an example using ‘The Giant Prickalo’ before you have a go at your own.
Topic – Creating a New Front Cover
As you are re-writing ‘The Gruffalo’, you will also need to recreate the front cover so that it has a new title and also features a picture of your Mythical Creature! Watch the Youtube video below where you will be shown how you can draw this by hand and also talked through some other ways to recreate your book front cover.
Remember – it’s really helpful if your Mythical Creature ends in the ‘o’ sound as it will make your story rhyme. For example – Gruffalo, Prickalo, Unitigo, Rabbito etc.
Below are some example front covers which have been created in different ways to inspire your work:
