Welcome to our last week before the half term break! I hope you are all doing well. It has been a very long term - let's hope for some light at the end of the tunnel early next term! I have loved receiving your photos and videos, either via email or on Class Dojo, and I can't wait to get some more this week. Here are your lessons:

Week Beginning Monday 8th February

This week's Maths lessons for Year 3 and for Year 4 continue to be on fractions. Although these lessons aren't from the same unit as last week's lesson, you will remember a lot of the terminology from last week and from in school when doing them. Remember, if you are in Year 3 and want an extra challenge - feel free to try the Year 4 lessons! 

Finished your Maths lesson for the day and want a bit of an extra challenge? Try one of these ideas:

• Browse through the Oak Academy website for Maths in a higher year group!
• Use this website to create your own times tables challenge sheet. How quickly can you do it?
• Try out this week's two Maths challenges here and here.

Week Beginning Monday 8th February

This week, there is again lessons for both Year 3 and Year 4. The Year 3 lessons begin a new unit - on 'Into The Forest' by Anthony Browne. The Year 4 lessons continue to look at the poem 'The Jabberwocky' by Lewis Carroll, building on last week's lessons. Click the links to find your daily English lessons.

Finished your English lesson for the day and after an extra challenge? Try one of these ideas:

Week Beginning Monday 8th February

Our topic lessons this week will follow on from the Geography done in the previous week. Instead of looking at the countries of the UK, we will be learning about South America, and comparing some of the physical and human features there to our knowledge of the UK.

Week Beginning Monday 8th February

In addition to the above activities, below you will find links to three lessons on a new Science topic, focusing on the Rock Cycle.

This week, we will continue to look at the Christian Story of Creation. 

Watch the story on You Tube and/or read it in the Bible. You will find the story in the book of Genesis, Chapter 1, and Chapter 2, verses 1-17. You could also read it HERE.

Then, represent the story in your own way. You might...

• Create a cartoon strip
• Re-write the story in your own words
• Draw or paint a scene from the story
• Create a shoebox diorama of an important part of the story
• Make some puppets and ask an adult to film a puppet show of the story that you narrate
• Come up with your own idea!

Whilst you are away from school, keep fit and active by undertaking some of these challenges. Send me information on your performance! You can also log in to Fitter Future and complete the suggested Daily Timetable - one workout each day - or choose any from their extensive list of workouts. You will need your username and password to access Fitter Future. If you don't remember it, you can email me and I will send it to you.

Remember, there are links and ideas for lots of additional activities on our main Learning Projects page, which you can get to by clicking here.
