Good Morning Class 4 
Happy Friday everyone! 
It's Friday again, already!
A Friday joke for you...this made me smile...
'What do you call a boomerang that won't come back?'
Scroll to the bottom for the answer (if you don't already know it!).

Excellent work again today everyone. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your Spring poems; they really made me smile. Super work on mymaths too - lots of you are really getting into the activities and are doing really well. Keep it up!
Remember if you have problems logging in, let me know as all of your logins work and so I might just need to clarify something.
I look forward to seeing what you all do today.
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!

Reading task: 
We all know how important reading is to us. If there was one thing I would definitely like you to do each day, it would be reading. It is so important that we keep this going while we're all at home.
So once again, your reading task is 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.

I have set you another activity today. 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.
Then could you spend 15 minutes on sumdog please.

Spelling task: 
Please can you choose 5 words at random from the appropriate spelling list below. Please choose words that you haven't used before. I would like you to find out the meaning of your 5 words so that you fully understand them, and then I would like you to write a short tale or story that includes these 5 words. You need to use them in the correct context so that your tale makes sense.
I have set up a 2do task on Purple Mash for this if you would like to do it on there, or you can do it in your exercise book. Please underline the 5 spellings (or write them in a different colour) and draw me a picture that links to the tale/story. Remember, it doesn't have to be long, but it has to make sense and you have to use the words in the correct context.

Writing task:
Here is a picture...its title is 'Wilderness'. Have a look at it closely.
Using this image as inspiration, can you draw an ultimate survival hero for one of the following environments? Think carefully about what they are wearing and what equipment they will carry.
Jungle
Desert island
Arctic
You can write these in your exercise books.
Being kind...
Do something nice today. It could be anything, anything at all. You're all really lovely people so I know you'll be able to think of something nice to do. I'd love to hear some of the things you've been doing.
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. Remember to send me any work that you would like to share; I love seeing it all.
Have a really lovely weekend with your families. Have fun and take care!
Sending lots of love,
Mrs Barker
