| Good morning Year 4, it's the end of another week of home learning and you've all worked so hard. The Year 4 teachers wanted to say a huge thank you for continuing your learning at home and also say a huge thank you to your parents for helping you work hard at home. Remember to keep in touch using year4@bgfjs.org - put your name and class so we know who has contacted us! We also received a letter from Myesha in class 6 and it made us all smile. We also miss you all and miss being in school teaching you. Hopefully we will be back to school soon! Please do write to us via email or post. It is lovely hearing from you. |  |
Daily timetable
PE with Joe Wicks
LIVE 9:00-9:30
It's fancy dress Friday! Remember before any workout you must do your stretches to avoid any injuries and lots of water too! I love how Joe is teaching us lots of fun facts as well as these amazing exercises.

What to do today
1. Write notes about an illustration
• Look carefully at the Bird Illustration. It is from a story about Ananse.
• Make notes about what you notice. Can you spot 10 different things? Ask somebody else to test you e.g. What is the colour of the feather near the owl?
2. Make up a story
• Use the Story Summary to make up a story about Ananse and the Birds.
• Start with the second box and then think about how the story could start and how it could end.
• Use your notes from the Bird Illustration to help you with the third box.
Share your story with a grown-up. Tell them what happens and what descriptions you will include.
3. Write your story
• Write your story of Ananse and the Birds.
• Try to include sentences that use conjunctions as you do.
Try these Fun-Time Extras
• Can you read or record your story and send it to someone?
• Read another writer’s story of Ananse and the Birds. (At the end of this pack) How does it compare with yours? How is it similar? How is it different?

- Watch this short video which explores alternative spellings for the ‘i’ sound.
You will need a helper, an adult or older sibling maybe. They need to read the words to you in each column and you can spell them (without seeing the word written down). Any words that you don't spell correctly, don't worry, just try them again.
