Good morning year 4!

Another beautiful day is here. I hope you are all going to go outside and enjoy the sunshine again .

I hope you are all enjoying your books and making sure you take time to read every day. Some of you may have finished your first book and be ready to complete your book reviews.

Make sure you are trying to complete at least 2pages of your maths and english booklets each day and keep an eye on Purple Mash for new activities that I have been setting. Today I have set you an art activity on Purple Mash, you need to complete the 2Do My Mosaic 1 and create an interesting Roman themed mosaic. Make sure that once you have finished that you remember to save your work.

Have any of you started a piece of writing while you have been off? In your pack there are some picture prompts to help inspire you to write a fantastic story! Remember to re-read what you are writing and try to edit your work as you go.

I can't believe the scores some of you have managed to achieve on times tables rock stars - keep up the amazing work! A big well done to Bronagh who was yesterday's times tables super star!

If anyone is interested in animals and would love a virtual trip to the zoo as we can't go in person at the moment, Chester Zoo is live streaming a tour of the zoo today starting at 10am. You will need to ask a parent to help you find it as it is being streamed on Facebook. Here are the details:
