- Happiness Bunting: Using the stencil below or perhaps make your own outline (triangle shape.) We would like you to decorate your bunting showing what makes your truly happy. It could be a drawing of the beach, flowers and sunshine, music, photos/drawing of loved ones, sport – whatever makes you smile and your heart feel all warm and lovely!
Be creative and bright and decorate both sides.
On your return to school, please bring this with you so we can display it in our classroom.

PE
PE is extremely important to keep your body healthy but also your mind happy and healthy. How about waking your body up by doing this short workout. You could do this in between your lessons, give you a brain break and wake up your body. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALrdpsWYoJs
Enjoy!
Reading at home
Remember to read with an adult every day. Below are some questions your adults can ask you about the books you read. There is also a link to the Reading section of the website - "Must Read Books".
When you finish a book, don't forget to review it! You can present your book review in any way you wish. You could write your review on paper, or present your book review in an alternative way for example as a video. The links to those reviews are below.

A range of book reviews Watch the video from 48 seconds.
Spelling
These are the common exception words that we hope the children can spell by the end of Year 4. We have included Y2-4 so that you can work with your children on spellings relevant to them. Words sent home for homework are linked to the no nonsense spellings, which is a spelling teaching structure that we use in school.
Remember to use a range of strategies;
Look Say Cover Write CHech (LSCWrCh)
Shape doodles
Post its around the house
Snap games
Missing letters
Mnemonics e.g. because = big elephants can't always use side exits
Rhythm e.g. difficulty = Mrs D Mrs I Mrs FFI Mrs C Mrs U Mrs LTY

History Stone Age
We have just started to learn about the Stone Age and last week we look at a settlement (place where the tribe lived). We started to notice what types of jobs the tribe did.
Please load up the powerpoints to learn more about the Stone Age and in particular, the types of shelters and how they changed over time.
There is a lovely activity where we would like you draw the different types of shelters. You could either print off the sheet or draw it on your own paper.
Science: Light
You can use the activity sheets (See link below) if it helps you choosing the 1, 2 or 3 star or present the work how you would like to.

Lesson 2: Reflective Surfaces LO: To notice that light is reflected off surfaces Work through the Powerpoint presentation Reflective Surfaces. (see link below) Watch these videos. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/ztcg9j6 https://central.espresso.co.uk/espresso/modules/s2_light/mirrors_reflections/index.html https://central.espresso.co.uk/espresso/modules/s2_light/how_we_see/index.html More detailed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDRTmymuNyE
If you have a torch shine it onto different materials (Eg DVDs, tin foil, paper, different fabrics, bubble wrap, cardboard, shiny surfaces, metal) around your home to see how reflective they are and decide which would be best to use for a reflective strip on a school bag. See slide 7.
Remember some phones have torches. If you don’t have access to a torch then you could draw some labelled diagrams and write some sentences to show what you have learnt about reflective surfaces after watching the videos.

Lesson 2 Resources
Art: Cave Art
Stone Age men and women used natural sources for their ' pencils and paint'. Imagine you are alive in the 'Stone Age'. Explore your garden. What can use find to make marks and create colour? Create an 'Earth Tones Colour Palette' using all the natural sources in your garden. Eg- red from berries, green from the grass/leaves. Try crushing them to release the colour. Please do NOT put anything near your mouth, take care near thorns, nettles, brambles and wash your hands afterwards. You can complete the activity in last week's home learning too.
