Welcome to Summer Term Week 3. I hope you had a lovely weekend.
I was very impressed to hear about how many of you are learning to cook and bake at home. We were inspired to make our own pizzas on Friday for tea. Yum Yum Yum! I wonder if you could help with the cooking or baking this week or even make someone in your house a lovely Greek salad like we made in class.
Review: Last week some of you loved the game and book review task. I have received the first one via e-mail so here it is.... Well done! Beautifully presented too!
School Jobs:
Maths: ISeeMaths - This week has been our favourite so far because it is all about shape puzzles. I think lots of you will really like it. It is the Y3/4 lesson for Monday 30th March. http://www.iseemaths.com/lessons34/
Lola and Amelie just made their own little jottings to go with the lesson. No printing needed.
Reading and History: VE Day.This Friday (8th May) is VE Day. Lots of people are celebrating by making bunting and flags, choosing food for a special picnic or meal, making posters. Have a look at the links to find out more about VE day and for ideas of some activities you might like to do.

Art: Have a look at this Frottage lesson from the Oak National Academy which is all about textures. Amelie and Lola really enjoyed it last week and I have seen a few posts on Twitter from different children in school.

This is what ours looked like at the end:
Spellings: This week's spellings are attached with an idea for an interesting way to practice them. (Great for handwriting practice too!)
Remember there is another Home School work pack available for Y4. If you would like one printing, please just e-mail or phone school to arrange for this to be done then you can pick it up in the entrance.
Stay safe, Stay home and be respectful today.
Missing you lots,

Message from Mrs Powell:
Good morning! This week we are going to think about V.E day. I’m going to tell you little stories that my Granny Peggy told me; she lived in London during the war and my Grandad was an RAF pilot. First of all, I want you to think about a day you will always remember, happy or sad. A birthday, a family event, something you shared with friends. Is there a special food that reminds you of that day? My niece Edith is now 3 and I was lucky enough to visit her in hospital when she was a few hours old. I remember that gorgeous feeling, how hot the hospital was and helping my sister eat the chocolate I had brought for her! What special memory do you have? What reminds you of that? Some memorable days are happy and some are sad. Each of us will have our own experiences and our own reactions to them. There are as many different sorts of memorable days as there are different sorts of people.
