Listen to Alice's Monday message...
Buenos días Year 4s!  How are you feeling this morning?  A little tired or raring to go with today’s learning?
Picture
Remember, if you would like to say hello or send in your fabulous learning for us to read, email us at: year4@bgfjs.org (but remember to include your name otherwise we won’t know who it’s from!)
Here’s a challenge for this week.  Download the sheet and see how many well-being activities (things that make you feel physically and mentally good) you can tick-off.  You can play this with siblings, friends or grown-ups (P.S. If you don’t have a furry friend, you can change this to something or someone else!).

As well as doing Home Learning every day, there is also additional learning on the BBC if you wish to challenge and stretch your brain muscle.  To do some extra learning, click on this link: BBC Bitesize 7-9 Year Olds.

Last week, we divided by 10.  Today, we are learning to divide by 100.

Remember:
  • When you divide by 1 the answer stays the same. 21 ÷ 1 = 21
  • When you divide by 10, the number becomes 10 times smaller and all the digits move one place to the right. 210 ÷ 10 = 21.  Another way of thinking of it is: how many 10s are hiding in that number?
  • So, what do you think happens when we divide by 100?  Yes, the number becomes 100 times smaller and all the digits move two places to the right. 2100 ÷ 100 = 21.  Another way of thinking of it is: how many 100s are hiding in that number?

Lesson 4: PSHCE
Welcome back!

Let’s take a moment to reflect on the day you’ve had.  What went well for you today?  What didn’t go so well?  What might you need to improve on for tomorrow?  Click on the video and practise breathing calmly – breath in through your nose, hold for 3 seconds, then breath out of your mouth, hold for 3 seconds.  Then, repeat.  Remember, breathing calmly helps us to feel calm and relaxed so we are ready to learn.

Main activity:
Picture
“I dare you!” Have you ever heard anyone say this before?  What do you think it means?

I think it might mean… because…

Meaning of 'I dare you'
Look at the following scenarios.  Which do you think are dares?  Why?
Picture
Scenarios that are dares
Now, let’s think about these questions:

  • If a person being dared felt really uncomfortable who could they talk to about it?
            I think they could talk to… because…
 
  • If you saw someone being dared to do something what could you do to help?
            In my opinion, I could… because…
 
Remember, if you are ever unsure of what to do, always tell a trusted adult.

You can stand up for yourself by being assertive.  Can you remember what that word assertive means?  That’s right, being able to stand up for yourself in a way that is honest and fair without being aggressive.


Story Time
It’s time to unwind and relax.  Let’s listen to today’s story, Sulwe written by actress Lupita Nyong'o and illustrated by Vashti Harrison (illustrator of the Little Leaders books). Click on the video to listen to Lupita Nyong'o read her story.

Well done for working through to the end of today's Home Learning.  Take a well deserved break.  Enjoy the rest of your day and we shall see you tomorrow for yet another fun day of learning. Adiós!
