Buenos días year 4!  Which traffic light colour are you feeling today? Green? Yellow? Red? Or a mixture?  Remember, it’s okay not to feel okay all of the time.  And, you can always talk to someone at home about your how you feel or you can email us at year4@bgfjs.org (but remember to include your name otherwise we won’t know who it’s from!)

Here is today’s timetable:

Try the Fun-Time Extra
Can you make an illustration of all the items from your poem? Make your illustration show the details that are given by your prepositional phrases.  Practise performing your poem and then ask a grown-up to film and share your performance with somebody 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 counts too!​

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!

Here’s a puzzle.  Each picture below is worth a different single-digit value.  Use the totals in each row to work out the value of each of the pictures.
