Good morning Year 4! Happy Friday! Thank you for coming on to virtual school today. Miss Furlong and Miss Aluriya would like you to log in into virtual school every day to access the learning. It is crucial that we maintain a routine that is as close as possible to a normal school day during the next two weeks. New learning will be available each weekday and we ask that you leave us a comment (questions or messages) you have for your teacher. These will be answered daily so don’t hesitate to comment should you need any support or just want to check-in. Any work that you do, remember to tweet it @hillstoneps. Most importantly, make sure to stay safe! Have a great day!

9:00-9:10

Let’s the start the day off with some early morning work! So, put your thinking hats on Year 4.

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!

Spend some time on TT Rock Stars. At 12:00 Miss Furlong will post the name for the arena mode room to join if you want to play a game at the same time as her and other year 4 children. Check back here and the comments section at 12:00 for more details!

It’s Friday, which is Rock Stars leaderboard day! Have a look at the leaderboards below for 4A and 4F. Have you got in to the top 10 this week?

It was very close – big well done to Mudasir and Gabe, the year 4 champions this week!

13:30-13:40


13:40 – 15:00

Friday afternoon is art afternoon! Take a look at your tasks for today.

  1. Have a go at drawing the Taj Mahal.

2. Mandalas are often seen in Indian art. They often look different but are made up of a circle with different shapes on the inside. This is quite a simple one but perhaps you could find some pictures of different designs and see if you can make one that is completely your own.

3. If you want more of a challenge, this drawing of a 3D map of India looks amazing but you only really need a pencil, some crayons and some shading skills!

If you would like more ideas for things you could create, just ask in the comments!
