Dear Year 4

We really hope you all had a good Easter and maybe a break from school work.

 

New tasks will be put up on Spellzone and Mymaths, so please make sure you do them. If you have any tasks you haven't done, you can still have a go, even if the date has passed.

We have noticed that quite a few people have not been using Bugclub, please log on and read some of the books and answer the quizzes to help improve your comprehension. It is important that you finish the book and do the quiz, or Bugclub will not let you move onto the next colour band.  Don't forget there is work on Bugclub, Spellzone and Mymaths....We know that you are probably doing other work at home but we would like to see that you have all logged on to these during this week please. Any problems with log in details just email us:

Stay safe and well

English

Look at the resource below, it is several weeks worth of work, so remember you are only doing week 1 this week!

It is based around a book 'The Bolds Go Wild', you can find chapter one on page 16 of the booklet. It is a good idea to read page 1 and 2 of the booklet before you start, so you know a bit more about what you will need to do. 

 

This week you will :

read the first chapter

write a diary entry

answer some grammar questions

practise some spelling words

 

 

Science and Art

 

Have fun with some chocolate while you learn about reversible and non reversible changes. Can you remember the three states of matter? Some materials can change from one to state to another and back again.  We would love you to send us some pictures of your ideas. 

 

Topic

 

Do some research, to find out how chocolate is made and where cocoa beans come from and maybe a little about Fairtrade. You decide how to present your findings

.

Here are some ideas but you don't need to do them all!

 

You could:

• colour a world map, to show where cocoa beans come from
• create a poster to show each step of the chocolate making process
• make a powerpoint 
• make a miniature book about how chocolate is made
