Who spotted the rainbow yesterday evening? It was a good one!

We are into May and the month of Mary. Thank you to those who have sent me their flower photo/clip. Remember, you have until 12noon today to send in your photo / 2 second clip of you holding up a flower. It would be lovely if all of you could be ‘present’ in your last May Procession. Listen to Mikey explaining why we honour Mary:

Toni has sent me her bluebell drawing:

And Evie has been busy putting together a powerpoint about the pandemic and making strawberries dipped in chocolate!

Here’s what I’ve got for you today:

Prayer	Visit https://www.loyolapress.com/3-minute-retreats-daily-online-prayer/ and click on ‘Start your retreat’ for a short daily reflection.
PE	Stay fit and healthy by checking in with The Body Coach each morning at 9.00 at https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1
Spelling	Ask a family member to dictate the following passage to you, writing it into your handwriting book. Remember to think about correct punctuation, as well as spelling. Last year, climate change activists protested on the streets of London for weeks at a time. Their aim was to influence the government and world leaders into acting in the best interests of the environment, which is facing its greatest challenge ever as sea levels rise and biodiversity suffers. Images were broadcast onto our televisions of protesters being arrested and charged with criminal damage after they had gone to the extreme measures of chaining themselves to factories and spray-painting public buildings. Although many people object to the disruption that the activists caused, others say that their efforts will have long-term benefits for the planet.

Good Morning Year 4!

We come to the end of another busy week of learning and from your emails you have all been working hard at your learning and developing your skills in many other different areas. Well done!

Remember that we need your photo for our Virtual May Procession by 12 o’clock today.

Here are some of the lovely emails that you have sent:

Mia wanted to share a great milestone – she has had her hamster 🐹 Chip since Christmas and she finally managed to get him to play in her arms happily! Mia has spoken about Chip in class…well done Mia!

Lottie has been busy baking, making some great shortbread biscuits that certainly stand out because of her unique decorating!

Fabian has been busy helping his mum make polish dumplings (pierogi) filled with meat and vegetables and making different styles with cheese and potatoes (called ruskie).

Darcie-Louise and Phoebe drew their own ‘wow’ images as part of their morning prayer.

Nicola worked hard on her decimal work:

Sandro, William, Fabian and Phoebe sent in images of their contraptions: Can you guess what their contraption does?

Yesterday I had a problem uploading William’s poem about his chosen animal but the problem has been resolved! Click here to watch him perform it.

Have a great day of learning.
