Year 4 Friday 15th January

Today’s welcome video includes a special mention about Hillstone Star!

As our bubble closed yesterday, we didn’t get a chance to announce our Hillstone Star of the week for the children who attended school every day! This person has achieved a Hillstone Star by Miss Furlong for her Grace Darling entry and the letter. This person is Jessica Burns! I loved your diary entry too! It felt very Grace Darling herself 🙂

Good morning Year 4! Miss Furlong and Miss Aluriya are both very happy to see you on virtual school. Please make sure you are keeping up with your school work by completing the lessons and activities that we have set for you today. We will be keeping a register so make sure you leave a comment to let us know that you’re here. We would love to see the work that you complete too. There are 3 ways you can send us work:
1) Tweet it @hillstoneps
2) Email it to year4@hillstone.org.uk
3) Submit it here
Please make sure your name is on any photos that you send us.
Most importantly, make sure to stay safe! Have a great day!

9:00-9:10

Let’s start the day off with some early morning work! So, put your thinking hats on Year 4. Below is a picture of several things combined together – a couple of Maths, Geography, English questions, etc. These questions might be topics we may have not covered in lessons yet but that’s okay! Just give it a good go – you might learn something new! Again, if you need any support, please comment below. Make sure you have left a comment to let us know you’re here too!
