Good Morning Class 4
Happy Tuesday everyone. 
I've got a joke for you this morning...
'What's a banana peel's favourite type of shoe?'
(Scroll to the bottom of the page for the answer.)
It was really lovely to hear from you all yesterday; I enjoyed hearing about your Easter holidays in your postcards. There were lots of Easter egg hunts, outdoor activities and exercise...just what I like to hear! 
These are your tasks for today. Remember, you can do the tasks in any order, and you don't have to do everything if you don't have time. 
PE:
Have a look at the below link. There are lots of ideas for different PE type activities that you could do at home; give one a go!

I have set you an activity each. There is one for the Year 5s and one for the Year 6s. There is a lesson for you to go through and then there are questions to answer at the end. I will then be able to see how you've got on. If you have any problems with your login details, please let me know.
Reading task: 
For your reading task today, I would like you to read for 30 minutes. You should use your reading book for AR. Remember, when you complete a book, you can still do your AR quiz as you normally would at school. Follow the link below:

Spelling task:
I would like you to choose 5 words from the appropriate spelling list. I would then like you to write a synonym and an antonym of each word. I would also like you to write a sentence to explain the meaning of each word.
-Year 5 and 6 common exception words.doc-
-2nd 100 high frequency words .pdf-
Writing task:
For your English task today, I would like you to write a letter to someone who is the same age as you but who lives in another country, like a pen pal. You can choose the country that they come from; if I was doing this, I would choose Australia. I want you to introduce yourself and then tell them some interesting information about you and your life. You should then go on to ask them about their lives. Think about what you would find the most interesting about life in a different country and ask them about it. Remember to write in paragraphs and be engaging! You can do this in your exercise books or on a computer.
Being kind...
I would like you to do something kind and helpful today. It could be to tidy your bedroom or to make sandwiches for everyone to have for lunch or help your sibling with something they can't do. Do something kind to make someone else feel happy.
Learning project:
The focus for this week's project is 'viewpoints.'
Your learning aims to provide you with opportunities for you to learn more about different viewpoints. Learning may focus on physical viewpoints in terms of what you can see outside of the window at home, what others can see looking into your home and then progress onto personal viewpoints and of others.
This afternoon, you can either carry on with the project you started yesterday or you can choose a different one to do.
● Viewpoints and Mood - Look into a room in your home and think about how it makes you feel. You can then either draw something linked to how you feel when looking in the room or draw an object from the room and then colour, shade or paint it in a colour that reflects your current mood.
● North Yorkshire Views- Fountains Abbey, The White Horse and Whitby Abbey are just some of the famous viewpoints within North Yorkshire. You can choose a North Yorkshire viewpoint and use Google Earth or Google Maps to create an accurate scaled map of the location of the landmark. You may wish to identify all of the viewpoints on your map.
● Viewpoints from Around the World - You can research famous viewpoints from around the world (e.g. The Eiffel Tower). You can draw what you think you would see from this viewpoint. After this, you can design and create a miniature scale of the landmarks that give these viewpoints. I would then like you to evaluate your creation.
● A change in Viewpoints- How did Martin Luther King and Rosa Park’s actions and views shape society today? Compare and contrast viewpoints from then and now on people’s race, culture and religion. How has this improved society’s attitudes towards those who are different to ourselves?
● Debate- Is good more powerful than evil? Is it worse to fail at something or never attempt it in the first place? Is it more important to be liked or respected? I'd like you to choose a question to answer, write a speech and use real-life examples to justify your opinion
Have a great day everyone, and I look forward to seeing how you get on today.
Take care
Mrs Barker
