30 May 2020
Good Morning Class 4
Happy Tuesday everyone. 
We all made it through Monday!
Year 6s, you're back in school today for the first time in a long time! I am really sad not to be with you, but I know you're in very capable hands. Speaking of which, it was Mrs Lewis's birthday yesterday...I think you should sing to her!
I hope you all really enjoy being back together and seeing your friends, even if it isn't quite what we're used to. I hope to see you all very soon.
Year 5s, and any Year 6s at home, we'll carry on as normal.
I think we need a joke! Here we go...
'What is brown, hairy and wears sunglasses?'
(Scroll to the bottom of the page for the answer. )
Time for the results of yesterday's tt rockstars boys v girls challenge. Who do you think won?
It was...the girls! Well done girls! It was very close so well done to you too boys. You've won one each now! 
These are your tasks for today. Remember, you can do the tasks in any order, and you don't have to do everything if you don't have time. 
PE:
Have a look at the below link. There are lots of ideas for different PE type activities that you could do at home; give one a go!

Reading task:
As you know, reading is the activity that I believe is the most important. I really hope that you are all reading every day.
As usual, I would like you to read for 30 minutes today. Remember that for this reading time, you should be reading a book in your ZPD range so that we are continuing to develop your reading skills. If you have run out of books, then visit the enrichment page on this website, and read the 'what can I read next?' article.
When you complete a book, you can still do your AR quiz as you normally would at school. Follow the link below:

I have set you an activity for today. Year 5s yours is about fractions. Year 6s, I have set you one incase you weren't all in school and it's about multiplying fractions. Remember to go through the lesson before you do the questions. If you find it difficult, you can go back to the lesson and have another go at the questions. I will be checking how you're getting on as the day goes on.
Spelling task:
For your spelling task today, I would like you to complete the below wordsearch. It focuses on words ending in -cial or -tial. Do you know the meaning of these words? If you don't - could you find out?
You will need to click on the link, then click on spelling tiles and then choose word search.

Being kind...
Can you make someone in your family a lovely, healthy snack today. I'm sure they'll really appreciate it.
Learning project:
The focus for this week's project is 'sport'.
The projects this week aim to provide opportunities for you to learn more about sports and games. Learning may focus on the history of sport, sporting-heroes, physical challenges and performances.
Choose one of these projects to start this afternoon. 
● Sport Genius - Research about sporting history and see how many different facts you can find out about sports from the past. Create your own sporting trivia quiz which you can test out on members of your household. Or you could place different sporting events from the last 100 years onto a timeline.
● Sporting Heroes - Select your favourite sporting star. Then you should draw a portrait of them in the style of the famous pop artist Roy Lichtenstein using felt tip pens or paint - you may need to research him first! Please send me you creation so I can share them all.
● Name that Sport - You could create an orienteering map of your home/garden. At each location you will need to create a question relating to a sport e.g. Which sport has the most rules? The answers can then be recorded on an orienteering sheet. Can you create an answer that begins with the letter of the next location? You can test it out on a family member.
● Beat It! - Begin by measuring your resting heart rate by counting how many beats in a minute. Then carry out an exercise e.g. running, skipping, star jumps etc. for 3 minutes. Once you have completed this you should carry out a recovery activity e.g. walking or sitting and see how long it takes for your heart rate to go back to normal. Repeat this with different recovery exercises to see which is the most effective at getting your heart rate back to normal the quickest. Can you create a way of showing your results?
● Anyone Can Be a Champion! - This activity is all about exploring the diversity of sport. You should research the history of the Paralympics. Discuss why we have the Paralympics. You should create a poster which presents the importance of the Paralympics and the range of different sports there are.
That's it from me today. Remember you can send me any of the work you have done through the Purple Mash email or the class email class4@gfschools.co.uk
