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!

Can you name devices that contain computers? Comment below in the comments box.

An example is an alarm. Devices that contain a computer need to be instructed what to do. We have to program their next steps. This is called algorithms. We are going to be creating our very own set of instructions (algorithms) using a software called Scratch. Don’t worry if you haven’t used Scratch before!

Click here to visit Scratch and get creating! Watch the tutorial video on the page to learn how to get started.
Below are some examples of games that children like you have made from scratch in Scratch! Have a click on the links and try playing the games. Which do you like the best?

Ice cream game
Cactus creator
Firework Creator
Among Us ‘Hoverboard Platformer’

Your task for today is to just become familiar with the software.

Can you find the different sprites?
