Good Morning Class 4
Morning all, I hope you all had a good Monday yesterday? The weather is supposed to be really nice today, so make sure you get outside and enjoy it if possible. 
If you are able to listen to BBC Radio York this afternoon then Maya is going to be on there at 2pm talking about how she's made cakes for the staff at Ripon hospital.
I have included a clip below of me reading you a story...have a listen to find out more.
Who do we think won the ttrockstars battle yesterday? It was 2-2 at the beginning of the day, and by the end, it was 3-2 to the boys! Well done boys! Not many of you took part yesterday; well done to those who did. 
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!

Maths task:
I have set you a task on the mymaths website today. Your task is about converting measures. Remember to go through the lesson first and then have a go at the activities. If you find it difficult, you can go back to the lesson, and you can have as many goes as you like at the activity.
Please login using your details to complete the activity. You can follow the below link:

Spelling task:
Today, I would like you to choose 10 words that link in some way to our weekly theme, space.
I would then like you to create a glossary for these words to explain the meaning of the words clearly.
Writing task:
I would like you to imagine that you are a news reporter, reporting on the alien visit that you described yesterday.
I would like you to write a newspaper report about the event.

I have attached an outline for a newspaper report if you would like to write or type on to it.

Reading task:
As you know, reading is the activity that I believe is the most important. I really hope that you are all reading every day.
As usual, I would like you to read for 30 minutes today. Remember if you have run out of books, then visit the enrichment page on this website, and read the 'what can I read next?' article.
When you complete a book, you can still do your AR quiz as you normally would at school. Follow the link below:

Learning project:
The focus for this week's project is 'space'.
The projects this week aim to provide opportunities for you to learn more about space. Learning may focus on our Solar System, the Sun and the Moon. It could look at life in outer space from the view of an astronaut and travelling through space.
This afternoon, you can either carry on with the project you started yesterday or start a new one.
● Moon Moves - For this task you should research the importance of the Moon to life on Earth. You could research the movement of the Moon relative to the Earth and create a model of the Earth, Moon and Sun. The link below might help.

● Through Space and Time- You should research space exploration history and create a timeline of how people have travelled into space. Think about when the first rocket was launched? When did the first man travel to space? How about the first woman? What other significant events can you add to your timeline?
● Connect the Dots- Can you examine the different life stages of a star, and explore the names and shapes of some famous constellations. Then you should create a poster displaying the different constellations which can be used to teach others. Try to make it as creative as possible. The link below might help.

● Dancing into Space- Have a listen to Holst’s 'The Planets' (at the below link). You should select a planet and decide what you think that planet would be like. Can you create a dance/ set of movements to go with the music which will portray this. Take a video of your dance to share with your family and have a go at self-evaluating whilst watching the video.

● Mission to Space- Can you research the different components of a spacecraft and using your understanding of this, design your own spacecraft. Think carefully about what it needs to include in order for astronauts to survive in space. Can you make a small scale model using resources from around the home?

Have a super day, and I hope to hear from you.
Missing you all
