You might choose to write your poem about your highlights of Year 4, how you feel about moving on to Year 5 or even about home learning during lockdown. Question to think about: What is the purpose of a poem? What different types of poem do you know? What features do you think you’d find in a poem? What is the structure of a poem? WATCH: today’s teacher video on Class Dojo. Task: Read through the different poems you have been given below. Decide what kind of poem each example is. Use the feature checklist (attached below) to find and tick off the different features within the poems given.

WATCH: Today’s video on class dojo. Today’s end of term activity is all about using your maths skills to solve: The Mystery of the Super Snack! Read the introduction below: Rosie and Toby have been busy in their lab researching the best snack to eat before their class quiz night to ensure they are at their very best to tackle the quiz questions. After weeks of testing, they thought they had found the perfect snack. Unfortunately, members of a rival quiz team have stolen their work! The sneaky suspects have left a series of clues for Toby and Rosie to solve if they are to get their results back before the quiz night! Can you help Toby and Rosie solve the problems and find the clues to rediscover the super snack in time for the quiz? The clues are described below but you will need to scroll down to the bottom of this document to see them in more detail and get a clearer look!

Art Learning Objective: To create a piece of art using everyday objects. Drawings can turn 3D by using any household or everyday object and drawing around them on plain paper to bring them to life. You will be amazed at what you can use to create artwork! For example, pencil-sharpenings can be turned into parachutes… Pasta can be turned into hair…

Label the features you have found on the poems themselves by underlining and drawing an arrow. If you can’t print them off, write an example of each feature next to your checklist. Challenge: Write a definition for each different poem type. For example, what makes a Haiku a Haiku and what makes a rhyming poem a rhyming poem? Spellings:

Here are the potential suspects and some important information about them: Clue 1:

Or pots and pans can become flowers!

Today, we want to see what items you can use to create your own artwork! Remember to place your chosen item on plain paper and draw round it to bring it to life!

Answer the questions about the bar chart below and colour in the boxes below that hold the correct answers. Use the words in those chosen boxes to form a sentence and work out the clue.

1) How many portions of carrots were served? 2) How many more portions of broccoli were served than

cauliflower? 3) How many fewer portions of cabbage were served than

beans? 4) How many portions of sweetcorn and cabbage were served

altogether? 5) How many portions of carrots and beans were served

altogether?

CLUE 1 is……………………………………………………………………………………… Clue 2:

Check if these maths calculations are right or wrong and tick the correct column. If there are more right than wrong, the snack is high in fibre. If there are more wrong than right, the snack is low in fibre. CLUE 2 is……………………………………………………………………………………… Clue 3: How many of these fractions are equivalent to 0.5 (a half)?

If the number of fractions equal to 0.5 is less than 15: The snack is a good source of vitamin C. If the number of fractions equal to 0.5 is more than 15: The snack is not a good source of vitamin C. CLUE 3 is……………………………………………………………………………………… Clue 4: Sort the numbers into the correct box.

Some numbers will belong in more than one box so you can write them twice. The box with the most numbers will give you a clue about the calorie content in a 100g portion of the super snack.

Having solved all the clues and looking at the table of suspects, I know the super snack is…

Tuesday Lesson 2: approx. length 1 hour Learning objective: To plan my poem. Today, you are going to plan your poem. You will think about the theme for each stanza as well as the poetry features you will include within your poem. First you will need to decide what the theme of your poem is going to be.

Computing. Learning Objective: To create a poster about internet safety. During lockdown, people have been spending a lot more time at home and this means a lot more time on the internet! When we are on this internet, whether this means searching google, playing games or chatting to friends over the internet, it is incredibly important we stay safe! Just like you might wear a helmet when riding your bike to keep safe when you are outside, it is just as important to stay safe when you are inside on the internet. There are lots of ways we can do this… Today we want you to research the rule for staying safe online and present these in your own way. Here are some ideas:

1) You might create a top tip poster!

2) You might record a news report

informing children of your safety tips.

about staying safe online.

If you don’t have access to the internet to complete your research, use the information given at the bottom of this document to include in your work.

Each card can only be used once but it may not be necessary to use all the cards. You may multiply, divide, add or subtract to get as close to the number as possible!

R.E. Learning Objective: To research a chosen Religious Festival. At school, we learn about many different religions and how they all celebrate different festivals and events that are special to them. This week in R.E. we want you to choose one religious festival or event you are intrigued by, want to find more about or perhaps have not heard of before… For example: Diwali – Hinduism Hanukkah – Judaism Ramadan – Islam Lent – Christianity Vaisakhi – Sikhism Wesak – Buddhism Once you have chosen your festival, we want you to create an advert for this event! For example, if you chose Christmas, you would include information about the reason why it is celebrated, to commemorate Jesus’ birth, and you would encourage people to join in the celebrations by telling them it is a lovely time to spend time with your family. You will need to research your chosen festival first. Then create your advert as a poster, leaflet or even a TV advert! (If you don’t have access to the internet, use the resources at the bottom of this document.)

Your advert will need to be eye-catching and engaging and will need to include all the information the participants and festival-celebrations will need to know about.

Friday PE Bouncing & Catching For this game you will need a large ball (football, basketball) and a small ball (tennis ball, ping pong) Challenge 1 To bounce the large ball with 1 hand while holding the small ball in the other. Challenge 2 To alternate the hand you bounce the large ball with while you swap the smaller ball from hand to hand. Challenge 3 To alternate the hand you bounce the large ball with while you throw the smaller ball from hand to hand.
