Good Morning Year 4!

Again, it has been lovely to hear from you and see what you have been up to.  Thank you for keeping in touch. Before you settle down into doing today’s work, don’t forget to look at the answers for the tasks you completed yesterday and if you did not complete the challenge for the RE task, take a look at the comparison between the Gospel’s of Matthew and Luke’s accounts of the resurrection. The differences are very interesting! As today is Wednesday, the Wednesday Word is now available online. Click here. 

We hope that you enjoy today’s work that has been set, including the science task today! See below details of things that you will need for next week’s activity. ep in contact with us by sending an email to: year4@popepaul.herts.sch.uk.

Let’s see what you have been up to:

Megan enjoyed doing the body percussion activity and wanted to share this with you:

Fabian is sharing more of his culinary successes: a birthday cake that was made for his dad and pizza making with his sister!

 

Nabira and her family are celebrating Ramadam and she has been fasting too.

William and Lola enjoyed the time work for French today.

Lola has been working hard on her contraption and art work.  She thought of two contratptions: one is a hot air balloon that helps carry your water bottle up to you if you sleep in a bunk bed saving you having to get out of bed and the second idea is a spinning wheel t hat helps decide on what chores you have to do for the day!!  I think that we could all do with these!

Keep posting everyone!

A Reminder for next week:

Next week, in our Science task, our task will be focusing on an EXPERIMENT! The experiment is about how eggshells react to different liquids.  We will be putting eggs in different liquids to see what will happen. The material that eggshells are made from is a little bit like our teeth, so it will be interesting to see what will happen! If you would like to do the experiment yourselves, you will need to be prepared. You may have these things at home or you may want to get them so that you can do the experiment.

You will need 3 eggs (you can use more), 3 liquids. Vinegar would be ideal and any 2 other liquids of your choice such as Coca-Cola, lemon juice, orange juice, milk and water. If you cannot do the experiment, don’t worry. We will be posting pictures daily, to help you keep a record of what happens over time.

Good Morning Year 4!

It has been lovely to hear from you and see what you have been up to today. We want you to share your learning with us and tell us about everything you have been doing at home on your own and/or with your family. We love to hear from you!

We hope that you have all had a chance to see the Pope Paul May Procession video. It is absolutely wonderful and quite emotional to watch! Thank you to all of you who managed to send a picture to us. Your pictures were beautiful. You can now see how it made the procession so amazing!

Let it also remind us to continue to pray to Our Lady during her special month. Try to say a decade of the Rosary when you can.

How did you get on with Day 1 of our Olympics Challenge?  Email us your personal bests!

Here’s what some of you got up to yesterday:

The Maths Fluency challenge and work on decimals got you all involved – Well done to Joseph, Darcie-Louise, Mia and William!

Joseph has also been busy cooking – baking scones(they look yum!)  and going on walks with his brother too.

Have a lovely day of learning – make sure that you get out in the fresh air when you can!

Today we honour Our Lady with our special May procession.

Bring flowers of the rarest, bring flowers of the fairest

From garden and woodland and hillside and vale;

Our full hearts are swelling, our glad voices telling

The praise of the loveliest flower of the vale.

O Mary, we crown you with blossoms today,

Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May.

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.
