Morning my little team- how are you today?

What exercise have you been doing so far this week? Do you follow the same routine or do you mix it up and try lots of different things? Either is great and you have to do what works best for you. Remember the importance of exercise in keeping both your body and mind healthy and refreshed.

We finally got the ingredients to do some of the Science experiments Lola found and some of you have been sharing on Twitter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McVpXiSttnU

     It was lots of fun!

My girls have been keeping themselves busy by planning a show for us to watch. We absolutely loved it last night- they had many props and costume changes and got creative with using the TV to help them create background images and music. Their theme was 'Shipwrecked on an island' which reminded me of our guided reading extract from Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo and our book 'When the Giant Stirred'. Remember how lovely it is to disappear into your own story book each day for a little while. 

Reading: see Picture News attached or have a go at one of the comprehension activities from your pack.

Maths: Have a look at White Rose Maths Home Learning Y4     https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-4/ 

It is split into different weeks. Week 1 is all about decimals and hundredths which would be very good for you to practice. When my children do these pages at home we don't print out the 'Get the activity page' instead we just talk it through or make jottings and notes in our workbooks.

DT: Continue to find out all about healthy eating using the resources attached to Monday's blog and the links on the weekly plan 5 (which I have re-attached today) https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z4x76sg          https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/ztr3cdm

Mrs Brennan was in school yesterday and made some little friends while she was gardening so she asked me to share this with you: 

Have a great day- try to get a good balance of learning, playing, being active and relaxing,

Missing you all lots so here is another little message from me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZp__6kicHI&feature=youtu.be

Message from Mrs Powell:

Squirrels are often seen hanging on birdfeeders, trying to grab as much food as they can. Sometimes they even hang upside down while they feed! Sometimes they fall off, but they soon come back again to try to get more! Often birds can’t get to the birdfeeders because the squirrels are already feeding from them! The poor birds have to wait, even though they are hungry! Sometimes they fly away and perch in the trees, watching the squirrels feed. When the squirrels have finished, then the birds can have their turn to feed, even though the seed and nuts are really put there for them. It could be that the squirrel is trying to keep the food for itself. It could be that the bird is challenging the squirrel for the food. It could be that they are sharing!

There are times in our lives when we all find it difficult to share! Christians believe that God has given us the world and everything in it - it is a gift from God that we are all to share with each other. Christians also believe that it is good to share what we have with others. We can share our possessions, food, money, friends, talents, even our love.

Time for reflection

Let’s think about a time when someone has shared something with us. Let’s take some time to thank God for that person. Let’s also think about ways in which we could share with others during the day ahead.
