Good morning children. How are you this wonderful Friday morning? We hope that you are feeling wide awake and ready for today’s super learning. Be a Bobby Bee and be enthusiastic about all of your learning today. Are you ready to get busy?
How are you doing with your reading? Are you ready to quiz? Are you nearly at 100% of your reading target yet? Keep trying and you will get there. Well done to Max, who achieved his target yesterday. We will pop your bird on the rainbow.
Remember when you quiz, make sure that you check back in your book as you quiz to find the evidence to go with your answers.
Here is the video marking yesterday’s fluency. Today’s fluency is set for you on purple Mash, watch this first for help with how to do it.
Today we are going to start Times Table Rockstars - very exciting! This is a times tables game which other classes in school have been loving. A small group of Year3 have used it in school before, but for most of us it is new (including me!) I can’t wait to be a rockstar! A small group have already been given their username and password and you stuck them in your little green reading record book. If you weren’t in that group or you have left this book in school we are sending out an individual email to you with your details.
Today I would like you to log in (try to do this yourself children so you get fast at it) and have an explore of it. We will be using the gig, the garage and the arena sections.
Please watch my video on how to use it. Enjoy!
Watch the video below to complete today’s learning all about the Iron Man.
I have included a copy of chapter 5 for you on the button below the video so that you can refer to the text for the different activities. Enjoy!!
Today we are going to be sorting living things using different criteria. Watch the video and complete the learning. When you have done the learning please can you take a photo and pop it onto the 2Do on Purple Mash? Thank you. Have fun!!

Maths
Multiplying larger 2 digit numbers. Year 4, it is really important that you are not just writing the answers down as some of you did yesterday. You need to practise the methods that I teach you so that you will be ready for year 5. Please watch the video carefully so you know exactly what to do.
RE - Jesus teaches us about heaven.
PE - This week can you invent your own Hiit session?
Hiit stands for High Intensity Training.
This means you need to pick exercises that will really get your heart beating fast.
You should do them for 30 seconds and then have a 30 second rest before going onto your next exercise.
Choose some good music - and off you go!
Put your favourite move on our class blog - ‘Moves’ and we may do it tomorrow in our class council ZOOM meeting!
There may already be some good moves on there from other children which you can pinch for your Hiit today!
Happy Thursday and Happy Birthday to a very special young lady from our class today. We all hope that you have a lovely birthday - we are sending you birthday wishes for a lovely day.
Keep reading and getting closer to your target. You are doing so well with your reading targets. We hope that a few more of you will manage to reach your targets before the end of the half term (the end of next week) Keep trying - you CAN do it.
Today’s maths lesson is in two parts as I had to dash back to class to teach. Please make sure you watch and complete both parts.
It’s spelling today. Watch the video below to learn all about this week’s spelling rule. Adding -es to words ending in y with a consonant before the y. Change the y to an i and add -es.
Don’t forget to take your spelling quiz on Purple Mash.
Click on the button below the video for your new spellings to learn for next week.
All of the spelling activities for this week are set on 2Dos on Purple Mash (There are 3 of them).
We have finished our computing unit now, it’s been great fun and you have worked incredibly hard. Well done. Please continue down the page to French.
Recap on this video of Madame Jefferson teaching you ‘The Days of the week’ (‘Les jours de la semaine’ in French) and then play this matching game (see the button below the video). Can you play it a few times and beat your time as you get better at matching the French with the English?

Maths
Today we are going to learn a formal written method for multiplication! Please can I ask parents that we do not teach them the shortened version of this - the way we were taught at school! This will come - but it is definitely best left until Year 5 when children will be super confident with what is happening to the numbers by then.
History. Ancient Egypt
Watch the videos below to make an amazing discovery!!!!!!
