Good Morning!
Did you all clap for our Key Workers last night at 8pm?
If you forgot then you can join in next week.
Yesterday, you found out all about Marie Curie (answers can be found in the English section of Home Learning).
So today and over the weekend we would like you to research and make a fact file about another female scientist or inventor.
Here are some links for some suggestions or you can find a scientist of your own:

(Ligaya, you have some in the book you showed me I think!)
Make a one page poster/fact file and after the Easter 'break' we will be sharing details of how you can send it to us so that we can share your work on this page.
Thursday 2nd April
Good Morning!
I hope you found lots of words within MERMAID!
Today's activities are:
1) Emoji Maths Codebreaker (there are 3 going from easier to harder)
2) Marie Curie reading comprehension
3) One page (or a double page spread) from your CGP SPAG book
You could also try to get in another random act of kindness today.
Wednesday 1st April

Tuesday 31st March
A very good morning Year 4.
Can you believe that it is the last day of March already?
Yesterday, I used two idioms in my daily message: killing two birds with one stone
and jog your memory
Today, write five sentences using each of the idioms (so ten sentences in total)
Monday 30th March
Good morning 
We hope that you had a lovely weekend and that you managed to keep yourselves busy at home.
Did you make and send a card to someone in Collingwood Nursing Home? If you did, you killed two birds with one stone, fulfilling a Random Act of Kindness which will make another person feel happier, and less lonely.
When we were learning about the different time zones around the world, we also learned about Daylight Savings Time (DST). We would like you to write a fact file explaining what is and why we do it. Remember, use sub headings to organise your information.
Click on the following link to watch an informative video which should jog your memory!
Friday 27th March
Good Morning Year 4!
For your task today and over the weekend we would like you to write a letter to our local care home.
Many elderly people living in care homes can often feel lonely, especially now that their families cannot visit them. The staff at these care homes are working hard to help the residents with their daily needs but also to keep their spirits up during this time.
So we thought a letter to a worker or resident at Collingwood Nursing Home could really help.
There are some templates in the English section if you want some help or you can create your own.
The address to post your letter to is:
Collingwood Court Care Home
Nelson’s Row
Clapham, London
SW4 7JR
Why not include a drawing with your letter?
Thursday 26th March
Good Morning!
We hope you have been able to enjoy the sunshine either by going in your garden or enjoying a (socially distanced!) walk.
Try this Spring themed crossword to start your day.
Did you find them all? See the answers below:

Did you manage to find all of the idioms? Write at least seven sentences, using each of them (they have been underlined in red).
Monday 23rd March 2020
Good morning Year 4! We hope that you have all had a lovely weekend and are safe and well.
During this time at home, we thought it would be helpful and greatly appreciated by your parents/guardians to endeavour to complete a random act of kindness every day (at home of course) - good luck!
We also know how creative you all are, so have a go at some of these lego challenges.
