Good morning Year 4 and Happy Mid-week! We hope you're having a fantastic week so far and continuing to work really hard.
If you are going on walks for exercise remember every time you go outside, keep 2 metres from other people. Getting outside for some exercise and fresh air is good for physical and mental health. Let us know how you get on at year4@bgfjs.org.

What to do today
1. Read a poem and think about the story.
• Read How Tortoise Got His Shell.
• What did you like about the poem? What patterns did you notice?
• Why was Zeus so angry with Tortoise? How did Zeus punish Tortoise? Do you think this was fair?
Find a grown-up and read them the poem. Can you help them to understand the story by the way that you read the poem?
2. Imagine a conversation
• Try writing a conversation between Zeus and the Tortoise in the Speech Bubbles.
• Now use the Revision Card to remind yourself about direct speech. Can you turn some of your Speech Bubble writing into sentences with direct speech? (add speech marks and reporting clauses)
3. Now for some writing
• Make a Story Plan for the story of how tortoise got his shell.
• Read your plan through and then try writing your story. Include some of your direct speech if you can.
Try the Fun-Time Extras
• Can you make an illustration of the story? You could even make a comic strip version.
• Can you perform the poem and film it to share with someone else?
• Can you perform your speech bubbles with someone else. Who will be Zeus and who will be the Tortoise? How will you show their different characters?

We have been doing lots of work on locations and maps in Geography so let's try and work on creating our own 3D maps today! Doesn't it look amazing seeing the world from up in the air?
Adding detail to a simple map or creating a map from scratch (with detail) will show us more than just shapes, numbers and letters. Give it a go! What a fantastic way to bring a map to life.
