A morning message from Alice:
Marhabaan Year 4s!  How was your weekend and how are you feeling today?  We hope you and your family are all keeping well.

Here’s a question.  How many different languages can you say ‘hello’ in?  Click on the video to see if you can remember all 15 different languages of saying hello.  Don’t be shy, sing along!   
We would love to hear from you.  So, if you would like to write to us, email us at: year4@bgfjs.org (but remember to include your name otherwise we won’t know who it’s from!).

Let’s take a look at today’s timetable:

Lesson 1: PE with Joe

2) Practise adverbials
  • Use the Revision Card (page 3) to remind yourself about adverbials.
  • Practise using adverbials by writing sentences with a fronted adverbial that could go with the months of the year.
  • Write your sentences on Month Poem Idea (page 4). Challenge yourself to write at least 6 sentences. Adverbial Ideas (page 5) and Preposition Examples (page 6) might be helpful.
Picture
3) Choose a favourite poem
  • Pick your favourite month or the month of your birthday. Can you find a poem that would match this month well? You could use one of the poems we have read, or you could search online: https://childrens.poetryarchive.org/
  • When you have found your poem, write all of it or some of it out very carefully.

Try the Fun-Time Extra
  • Can you illustrate your favourite poem?
  • Can you record yourself reading it and send the recording to someone else?

Remember to also spend 30 minutes reading books and answering questions on Active Learn Primary.  If you don't have access to a computer, remember, reading a magazine or newspaper (see below for this week's latest news) counts too!​
Active Learn Primary

Lunch: It’s time for lunch!  Try to eat a balanced meal where there are different types of food to help your body get the right amount of nutrition to work properly.  Before you eat, remember to wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds!

Lesson 4: PSHCE
Welcome back!  Did you have a lovely lunch?

To prepare ourselves for this afternoon’s learning, click on the video and practise breathing calmly – follow the instructions to breathe in and out.  Remember, breathing calmly is really useful to help us feel calm and relaxed.

Main activity:

Today, we are recognising what healthy, positive relationships are.
What do you think makes a healthy, positive relationship? Why?  How about an unhealthy relationship?  What might this look like?


  • I think a healthy relationship is... because...
  • In my opinion, an unhealthy relationship is... because...
 
Download the worksheets.  Then, cut out the pictures and decide if they should go in the column labelled healthy (positive) relationships or in the unhealthy (negative) relationships column. How do you know?  Can you think of other healthy and unhealthy relationships for each column? Write these in.

Picture

Healthy and unhealthy worksheet
Now, write a sentence to explain what a healthy (positive) friendship is.  Use one of these sentence starters and some of the vocabulary below to help you:

  • I think a healthy, positive friendship is…
  • In my opinion, a healthy, positive friendship is…
Picture

Story Time
It’s time to unwind and relax.  Let’s listen to today’s story, Grobblechops written by Elizabeth Laird and illustrated by Jenny Lucande.  Click on the video to listen to Elizabeth Laird read aloud her story.

Well done for working to the end of today's Home Learning and for putting in so much effort.  Have a well deserved break, and we shall see you tomorrow for yet another fun day of learning.  Adiós!
