Welcome to Southwark Bridge Class

Hello Year Four!

Welcome to another week of home learning! We are nearly at the end of the school year. It has been a truly difficult time but you have impressed and amazed us with the depth of your learning over the past few months. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

English- A lighthearted start to this week. We are looking at some really cheesy jokes (my favourite kind!) Year 4 Week 16 Day 1

You then get a chance to write some jokes of your own and design your own joke book. The below video helps with instructions  for writing the perfect joke

This one gives top joke writing tips

We look forward to reading your amazing jokes!

Day 2-Another fun day. You need someone to work with for this. If nobody is available right now, why not come back to this lesson later on?

You get to create strange creatures, sentences and stories. Should be a fun game to play! Year 4 Week 16 Day 2

Day 3- Probably my favourite day so far! You get to learn all about dragons and write me a dragon quiz. Can’t wait! Year 4 Week 16 Day 3

Day 4-Today is a day for learning about and solving crosswords. Year 4 Week 16 Day 4

Day 5- A day based on Roald Dahl’s revolting recipes. I look forward to seeing your great, revolting recipes Year 4 Week 16 Day 5

If you need the sheets for this, please contact your teacher via Class Dojo.

Latin- A tough lesson this week as we increase our skills and work towards increasingly tough translation! A recap of how we show possession in English and then we begin to learn how to recognise possession in Latin. All answers to the exercises are shown on later slides so you can check how well you have done. Good luck! Latin possession

Music- Continuing our singing at Out of the Ark. Choose songs to learn and ractise

History- Over the last term, we have learned a lot about Egyptian religion, mummification and the pyramids, hieroglyphics and lots more. This week, I would like you to think about what daily life would be like for an average child like yourself. You can find some information here to add to what you have already learned

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zg87xnb/articles/zr4s8xs

and I would like you to write an account of your day as a diary entry or draw and write a comic strip version of your day.

If you want to test your knowledge of Ancient Egypt, you can take some fun quizzes here

https://www.historyforkids.net/quiz.html

Good luck!

Science- Watch the video showing a series of experiments showing the effects of different drinks on teeth. Can you write a conclusion for what you have found out.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zh2kjxs

Science/creative- Look at the patient leaflet designed by Colgate to teach children about keeping their teeth healthy. Could you design your own leaflet to teach your younger brother or sister or someone in year one or Reception at school.

I.C.T-For our last Digital Literacy lesson learn all about whether sources of information you find on the internet are reliable. Watch and read the information on the website below and create a top tips poster for how to find reliable information when using the internet to research.

History- Last week, we learned about pyramids which was where the Egyptians buried their dead. Archaeologists can tell who is buried in the tomb and what time period it came from by looking for a cartouche. A cartouche is a name plate which only the most important Egyptian citizens had.

 

These cartouches belonged to Ramases III

 

 

 

 

 

 

Read the information about cartouches here the-egyptian-cartouche-powerpoint

Then why not have a go at designing your own cartouche?

This website provides some ideas and information to help you

I look forward to seeing your cartouches on Class Dojo!

Science-Now we have finished our electricity learning. Let’s learn about digestion. I hope you enjoyed trying the practical demonstrations to help you understand digestion. Please upload any photos you took to Class Dojo. If you like practical ways to help your understanding, try this week’s digestive system investigation to help you understand how the digestive system works.

ks2-digestive-sytem-investigation

Watch the following video clips and answer the questions. Then, look at the picture of the human body and if you can print, cut and stick the organs in the correct places with the description of their purpose. If you can’t print it off. Draw your own body with the main organs of the digestion system with explanation labels.
