We are finishing this week with counting in fractions. If you are feeling really unsure then keep your fractions as top heavy and don’t worry about converting them to mixed numbers. Most of you will be fine and just need to choose the most appropriate work for you. Ready is the simplest, go is the hardest.

Topic - Science
In today's lesson, you will be carrying out a fun scientific experiment. You will learn how to make your own telephones using plastic/paper cups (you can use paper if you don't have these) and string. You are going to see if you can get the vibrations (sound) to travel from one end of your string telephone to the other, observing very carefully the conditions that need to be met for it be successful. You will also learn how to write out a scientific method and then how to evaluate it. Have fun carrying out this activity and let us know how it goes and whether your telephone worked.

Remote learning - Thursday 11th February
Good morning Year 4, we hope you are all well and enjoying the lessons that we have been setting you. Mrs Kirk and I loved reading your amazing responses to the RE questions form yesterday's Lent activity as it really got some of you thinking about the things that you would be willing to give up in your life. Lots of you also wrote about the different ways you and your families help those who are less fortunate than ourselves. Well done.
Here are you lessons for today:
English
In English today, you will be writing the closing paragraph of your information text on the chocolate making process.

In the video below, you will find out what makes a really effective final paragraph and then apply that to your own piece of writing. Remember to pause the video when you are asked to and complete all the activities:
Topic - Science
In this final Science lesson for the unit on sound, you will find out all about acoustics, which is the science of sounds. Acousticians are people who study vibrations and sound, and it is their job to look at different atmospheres so they can find the perfect acoustics for the sounds that they want create. You will learn lots of new vocabulary and also find out how different materials and surfaces affect the sounds produced. Watch this video and pause the video when you are asked to:

Maths
Today we are looking at fractions greater than (bigger than) 1. These are fractions that happen when we have more that 1 whole number, just like having 1 and a half pizzas! Choose the level you feel most confident with unless your teacher has told you which to choose. Ready is easiest and go is the hardest.

You will need to use the plans that you created in the last lesson so make sure that you have them at hand. Remember, this needs to be your own work based on what you have been learning over the last few weeks. We want to see all the key features of an explanation text as well some of the other amazing writing skills that you have been practicing too, such as using a range of sentence types, fronted adverbials and technical vocabulary.

Next week, many Christians around the world will observe the season of Lent. It is special time of year for them which helps them to prepare and reflect before the celebrations of Easter. During Lent, some Christians will spend 40 days fasting, praying and remembering Jesus Christ's sacrifices and his retreat into the desert. Watch this video all about Lent and see why it is such an important event in the Christian calendar. Once you have done this, we would like you to have a go at answering the questions on the worksheet below:

In English today, you are going to plan the next three sections for your explanation texts. The final stages of the chocolate making are grinding, mixing and moulding and they conclude the whole process. You must make notes as you go because these will be used in your next lesson when you will be asked to write your own paragraphs. Please remember that the writing that you produce at the end needs to be your own and not a repetition of the one on the video.

Dear Sami,
I know you’ve been working really hard to get that trick shot right – it’s crazy right?! I wouldn’t worry if you can’t you can’t do it – it’s probably not real anyway. Did you know that these people use camera tricks and editing to make impossible things look real? It’s probably a fake.
Why don’t you ask your Dad what he thinks? He might be able to give you some tips.

Remote learning - Monday 8th February
Good morning Year 4, it's the last week of term and lots of you have been working really hard in some very challenging circumstances, so well done. We would like you to keep this up and show us what a super year group you are by continuing to impress us with your resilient and determined attitudes towards your learning. As you are so amazing, we have also added another star to our year 4 class pages called Story time, where you can either read or listen to the story, at any time of the day or evening, to help you relax and unwind. We hope you enjoy the book! Before you begin your lessons for today, click on the link below to join the rest of the school for our collective worship on the value courage:
English
In English today, we would like you to go back and edit all of the writing that you have done so far for your explanation texts. This means that you need to find all three paragraphs (opening, harvesting and roasting) and read through them carefully to check for ways that you can improve them. Editing your work includes correcting any spelling mistakes and punctuation, adding appropriate conjunctions (if you haven't already got some) and ensuring that you have a variety of sentence types - simple, compound and complex. You also need to make sure that you have used subject specific vocabulary and most importantly that it all makes sense! Watch the following video for some tips and advice on how to edit and improve your writing. Please make sure that you pause the video when you are asked and complete the tasks before attempting to edit your own version:

Maths
This week we are continuing our work on fractions specifically equivalent fractions. Remember equivalent fractions means the same value but represented in a different way. If I have 1/2 of a pizza it is the same amount of pizza as having 4/8 or 5/1 or 2/4. They are all an equivalent value of pizza!

Topic - Science
This is our last week on the unit Super Sonologists so we will be asking you today to have a look at the knowledge organisor below to see how much you have learnt. All of the information in the grid has been covered over the last few weeks either in the Science or Music lessons, which many of you have enjoyed. However, there is a video for you to watch before you study and revise this grid which is all about how the properties of materials affects sound. Once you have watched it take a good look at the grid below, or print it our if you prefer, because on Friday there will be an end of unit assessment for you all to complete.
