Good morning, Year 4. Here are some more learning tasks for you to complete at home. I hope you enjoyed learning about the Ancient Egyptian gods at home yesterday. If you complete today’s tasks and want any extra challenges, you can play extra games on Sumdog and Times Tables Rockstars, as well as reading your reading book and practising your spellings. ENGLISH Collective Nouns Recap Task: In our English lessons, we have been learning about different noun types. One area we have worked on is collective nouns. This collective nouns wordsearch task will give you a chance to find out some collective nouns, e.g. the name for a group of camels, then see if you can find these in the wordsearch grid. You could write the answers to these down in your blue book. Perhaps you could try to find a few more unusual collective nouns to add to the list. If I were King or Queen for the day … In our history work, we have been learning about King Tutankhamun who became king when he was aged only nine. Can you imagine what that would be like? Your task is to imagine that you could be King or Queen for the day. What would you do? What would you wear? What would you spend your day doing if you could choose to do anything at all? Would you make any new rules for your subjects to follow? Here are some sentence starters to help you write about your ideas: When I wake up on my day as king/queen, the first thing I will do is… For my royal breakfast, I will have… I would spend my morning… and … For lunch as king/queen, I would choose…with … because… In the afternoon, I would … A new rule that I would give people is… because … I might take a trip to… where I would… To round off my day as a ruler, I would … I will look forward to hearing your excellent ideas! MATHS We’ve been working on place value in class, thinking about how we can partition numbers. For example, we know that we can split the number 2387 into 2 thousands, 3 hundreds, 8 tens and 7 ones. In class, we have used counters and base ten equipment to help us show our understanding of this. Today, I would like you to watch the video below and complete the worksheet by putting the answers in your book. Some of the questions may be a bit tricky, so just try your best. I will also put some similar questions on Sumdog if you would like to do some extra practice on there. AFTERNOON TASKS: SCIENCE AND FRENCH Science We will soon be starting a unit of work learning about electricity. To prepare for that, have a look around your home and see how many items you can find that are powered by electricity. Draw the items you have found in your book and, as a challenge, see if you can group them into items that are battery-powered and those that use mains electricity. French In French, we have been revising colours and numbers, and learning how to introduce ourselves. On the Language Angels website, you can use the log-in below to access songs and games to help you practise your skills. Have fun! https://www.languageangels.com/schools/ Username: Year4StAlbans24 Password: French We’ll look forward to seeing your work when we’re back together in school. Have a great day and a lovely weekend. Mrs Gosling and Mr Gibson

We have been working really hard in Year 1 to make sure we are wonderful writers. We have done lots of activities to focus on or fine motor skills and we have been putting letters together to form words. We are now putting words together to make sentences.

In maths we have been placing numbers to 10 on a number line. We know that 5 is half of 10 and that we must place it in the middle of our number line when we start at 0 and end at 10.

We have been using the Glockenspiels to play along to our song, ‘Shapes’.

On Friday we went to the gym and played some parachute games. We listened really well and sat in the circle to wait for our instructions. We loved the different parachute games and worked together as team to keep the balls from falling through the hole. The best part was playing ‘mushroom’ and getting to go underneath!

Please find below some links and activities of learning we have covered these last few weeks in school. You can watch the videos and complete the activity in your purple homework book. Some activities will be online only. Phonics: Watch the video and write 'm' in your book: Phonics: Watch the video and write ‘a’ in your book Phonics: Watch the video and write ‘s’ in your book Maths: We have been matching and making sets of objects. You could play a game of pairs, mix your socks up and make matching pairs, make sets of objects in your house e.g. knives, forks spoons. PSHE: We have been reading stories about our feelings and what makes us feel different ways. Talk about how you are feeling. You could draw/make a picture of one of the characters from one of the stories to show how you are feeling. You could draw things which make you feel different ways e.g. being with my friends makes me happy, broken toys make me angry.

Over the past few weeks we have been reading stories base on feelings, we have read ‘The Colour Monster’ and ‘Lucy’s Blue Day’ and talked about how each feeling has a colour linked to it. Every day our teachers check on how we are feeling. Here we are show different emotions on our faces, and talking about what makes us feel different ways. Some of us said, “It makes me happy when i get hugs.” “I like it when I play with my friends.” “It makes me sad when people snatch toys.” “I don’t like it when people fight” “I am calm when I am in my bed.” “My mammy loves me.”

This week we met our buddies and had playtime together!

We all did really well to get changed into our P.E. kits on our own. We needed a little bit of help, when our clothes were inside out or we put our shoes on the wrong feet. We all stayed next to our drawers and put our uniforms ready for after P.E. In our P.E. lesson we talked about staying safe in the gym and finding our own space, that meant not standing close to, or, touching our friends. We learnt some new games, Ambulance, Doctors and Fire fighters. In Ambulance, we learnt to move around the room by listening to different instructions. Doctors was like stuck in the mud, we were caught by the ‘bug’ in red and the ‘doctors’ in green had to make us better so we could join back in. In fire fighters, we started in our fire station hoop, we moved around in our fire engines and then climbed the ladders, crawled under the smoke and put the fire out using our hoses.

When we are in our outside area we are developing our gross motor skills. We made our own assault course, painted the fence and wall using coloured water and mixed potions!

We used all of our autumnal collections to make some autumnal artwork inspired by Andy Goldsworthy.
