Welcome back Year 4!

It has been a strange week and we have been working hard at school to make sure we can continue all our learning from home. Your parents should have received an email yesterday with your timetable and the times of your live lessons and small groups. 

Here is a quick reminder of when your live lessons are. 

Group 1: 9:00-9:30 and 11:00-11:30

Group 2: 10:00-10:30 and 12:00-12:30

If you have any questions please email me using this email address vpsyear4class@virginia.towerhamlets.sch.uk

Your lessons for today are below. 

Live Lesson 1

This would normally be our daily English lesson, as it is the first few day back and we are learning how to use Google Classroom it will be slightly different. 
Your follow up task will be on Google Classroom. 

Live Lesson 2

This would normally be our daily maths lesson, today we are going to be making sure we understand how to stay safe in a virtual classroom. 
Your follow up task will be on Google Classroom. 

Topic

This half term our topic is Stormy Weather. Normally in our first topic lesson we would look at our topic map and think about things that we already know and things that we would like to know. Today you are going to complete a virtual topic map on Google Classroom. When you have finished that, why not go to Purple Mash and create a picture of a stormy scene? A 2Do has been set for you. 

Reading

Your reading has been set up on Purple Mash, you should complete it every day. 

We will be starting the reading groups with Tom on Monday.

Spelling

We will be doing a National Oak Academy lesson each day, it is really important you continue to learn, practise and revisit your spellings during this lockdown. 

Today's spelling topic is compound words.
