Home learning w/b: 6.7.20 Year: 4

Message from Mrs Hills and Mrs Stevenson

Hello Year 4!

We hope you’ve all had a good week and that those children, who came back to school, had a good time – I really enjoyed seeing you!

For those of you staying at home, please do as much home learning as you normally do. Remember you don’t have to do everything that is on the grid – just do what you can.

For those of you who are coming into school, a reminder that we won’t be expecting you to do as much home learning as you may have been doing. On the days you are not here, the things we would really like you to focus on are maths, reading and writing. We know that you won’t be able to do more than three sessions in Writing and Maths and that is fine. Of course, if you would like to do any of the other subjects too, you can!

Thank you to those of you who have sent us pictures and messages. It’s good to know that you are keeping yourselves busy. Raisa has shared her art all about things she really likes. The Colosseum was drawn by Naomi. Ibi made a fantastic chariot. As well as dressing up as a Roman, Sofia has been baking dog biscuits and selling them to raise money for the school. My dog loved hers and she can be really fuzzy, so they must be delicious! Well done Sofia. Keep sharing your work with us. The email address to send it to is year4@lea-pri.herts.sch.uk.

Dear Y4,

It’s been lovely seeing most of you in school this week.

School is a little different at the moment, but I was happy to see how much you have been enjoying it. Those that have not been in, we are missing you and hope your all doing well. I’ve seen some lovely work that you have sent in, I’ve been so impressed with all the effort you have been putting into your home learning. Well done everyone! Continue to stay safe and well and most importantly, stay happy and positive.

Wishing you all well.Mrs Dada x

PSHEThis term we are Aiming High! This week we want you to think about whether some jobs are for men, and some are for women? Draw a quick sketch of a ballet dancer, a dentist and a teacher. Then look at your picture – have you shown a man or a woman in the role?! It is important to understand that gender does not limit what you can become in the future!

Have a go then at the job advertisement sheet at the end of the document.

Or go to the Fitter Futures website https://www.fitterfuture.com/ and have a go at the workouts. These are between 6 and 9 minutes long and can be done at any time of the day.

Both these feelings are completely normal! Divide a piece of paper and write a list for each feeling. Then talk about it to an adult.If you are in school, you will also have the chance to meet your new

HistoryMy task for this week has nothing to do with the Romans but I would like you to watch one of the episodes from BBC Iplayer Celebrity Supply Teacher. This one is based in History but is actually very topical as there is a lot on the news about how Black Lives Matters. The Historian Martin Bashir talks about an event in History which had a very big impact. Watch it and maybe you can discuss any questions you have regarding it with your parents.https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000k6hc/celebrity-supply-teacher-series-1-2-

teacher. If you are not in school, you might be able to come in for this. Even if you can’t come in, try and do the activity above and speak to an adult.
