Monday 22nd June- Reading

Reading for pleasure

Activity: Characters

Choose a book that you have read recently. Think about the characters in the story.

Your task today is to think of a new character for the book. They could be friends

with the main character, someone who shows up for only a short amount of time or,

perhaps, a new villain to the story.

In the space below, draw your new character and describe their appearance and

personality. Also, try to tell me a little bit about their back story. Why do they act and

behave the way they do? What things have happened to get them to the point they

are at? Remember to tell me which story they are going in to.


Monday 22nd June – Writing

Activity 1: Creative write Comic strip.

Using the character and back story that you’ve created, I would like you to create a

short comic strip about their adventures. Remember, a comic is a series of pictures

with words explaining each panel. They sometimes include speech bubbles too.

Topic Year 4

Lightning and static electricity are examples of electricity occurring naturally but for us to use electricity

to power appliances, we need to make it. Coal, oil and natural gases are fossil fuels which, when burnt can

generate electricity. Wind power and solar energy can also produce electricity. What do you use electricty

for at home?

The Big Question

What would life be like without electricity?

Select one or more activity from the menu below:

Use your knowledge of electricity to solve the

crossword clues!

This is Nikola Tesla. Like Edison, he is known for his

work with electricity. In fact, they used to work

together. Can you find out some of the things that

Mr Tesla discovered?

Renewable energy is becoming more important as

we start to run out of fuel to create electrical energy.

Complete the sorting activity about the advantages

and disadvantages of renewable energy.

Sometimes, the electricity we use isn’t essential. This

means that we don’t need to use electricity. Keep a

record of all the times you use electricity in one day

and fill out the table to decide if it’s essential or non-

essential.

When completed, take a photo and email it to your teacher:
