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!

Do you have somewhere to write…?

Before you start, we know we’re going to be away from school for a little while, so it would be a good idea to make sure you have a place to keep all of your virtual school work. Your homework book would be ideal to use. If you don’t have access to this (for example, you’ve left it at school), you could find another notebook that is only used for school work. Try to keep this book nice and neat just like you would with your learning and maths journals.

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!

9:10-10:00

The audio below is the feedback for the first maths lesson.

For today’s lesson, you are going to be drawing your own line graph. You will be carrying out a simple science experiment and then drawing a graph of your results. Watch the video below. You will need to follow along with the video as you draw your line graph. Pause it whenever you need to make sure you are keeping up with the steps.

Well done for completing your line graph! Make sure you take a photo of it and send it to us here or at year4@hillstone.org.uk.

Now you need to answer the following questions, using your own line graph:

  1. When was you pulse the highest? Before exercise, 0 minutes after or 5 minutes after?
  2. When was your pulse the lowest?
  3. What is the difference between your pulse before exercise and 0 minutes after exercise? (Do the biggest number take away the smallest number).

Our new topic this term is ‘Light and Sound’. We are going to be writing a newspaper report on a short film ‘Lighthouse’.

The audio below is the feedback for the writing lesson which should help you for today’s lesson.

In a newspaper report, we use formal and informal phrases. Can you give me some examples of formal and informal phrases? Comment below in the comments box.

Which of these phrases are formal and informal. Sort them into two categories.

Here is an example of a newspaper report. Miss Furlong and I expect the same from you too!

I have provided some help below to get you started on your newspaper report.

Your task by the end of the lesson is to write a newspaper report based on what happened to the lighthouse keeper in the short film.
