Happy Friday to my wonderful class.

You are working wonderfully. A huge pat on the back for every school job, exercise, creative activity and helpful act you have done this week. I am so proud of you. Hot Chocolate time for anyone who would like one! 

Lostock's Lockdown Memories Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggN2PNKY6fA&feature=youtu.be it's another brilliant one. Enjoy!

From next week, things are changing and  I am going to be working more days in school. (I'm really sad that it's not with my fabulous y4 class though.)  I will still look out on Twitter and for any e-mails you would like to send me (I love seeing your smiling faces and all the things you have been doing) 

BLOG Discussion: There has been an e-mail sent about the discussion part of the Blog so we will be trying that out from Monday. It will be lovely for you to be able to reply to any discussions I set up and this will also give you chance to ask any questions about the home learning work set and share any of your learning too. I  promise I will respond as quickly as I can in between teaching at school and teaching my little gang at home. I hava attached the pupil guide on how to use the Discussion Blog.

School Jobs:

English: Each Friday this half term I am going to attach a SPAG lesson to help you to recap the punctuation and grammar  learning we have already done in Y4. This week we will practise Possessive apostrophes with this lesson:   https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvwwxnb/articles/zx9ydxs

Maths: Try another Fluency Grid (attached) Remember you can make it the right level of difficulty for you by choosing a 2-digit, or 3-digit number to go in the star. I have attached a Y3 and Y4 grid for you to choose from too. 

Reading: Read Chapter 1 of Blue John   https://issuu.com/barringtonstoke/docs/blue_john_chapter_samples

Spelling: Y3/4 words column 6. Maths Frame lets you do a practise test if you want to or just keep playing the games or using our pen and paper activities.  https://spellingframe.co.uk/spelling-rule/50/32-Word-list-years-3-and-4---or--to-pre-

Making Movies: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/careers-in-film/z7yh6v4  I found this film (filmed long before corona virus) which teaches us all about how movies are made and the different jobs involved. I have attached the recording sheet but there is no need to print it. I thought some of you might be interested.

Have a lovely day despite the rain (which will be good to help our plants grow!)

Message from Mrs Powell:

Smile, it’s Summer

Scientists have discovered that colours can make us feel certain emotions:

· White makes us feel cold.

· Red makes us feel warm or angry.

· Blue makes us feel cool or peaceful.

· Orange makes us feel warm or happy.

· Green makes us feel calm and peaceful.

· Black makes us feel sad.

· Yellow makes us feel happy and full of laughter.

When the sun comes out, people often say that they feel happier. Whatever the weather is like, though, we can all make people feel happy by the way we look at them. An unknown poet said, ‘There are hundreds of languages around the world, but a smile speaks them all.’ In other words, even if we can’t speak someone’s language, we can still let them know that we care by ‘speaking’ to them with a smile.

Think about people who make you happy. Think about their faces. When you think about them, do they look sad, angry or happy? If they make us happy, they will probably be smiling in our thoughts.

How does it make you feel if someone looks angry? How does it make you feel when someone smiles at you?

Today, why not decide to smile at people so that you can bring sunshine to their lives and make them feel happy? Remember: ‘There are hundreds of languages around the world, but a smile speaks them all.’

Dear God,

Thank you for all the people who bring me happiness.

I think especially of… (pause for the children to fill in the names).

Please help me to bring happiness to others, too.

Thank you that I can create happiness by something as simple as a smile.

Amen.
