How is the week going for you? Why not let us know on Purple Mash?

There's a new post from Ruth and the challenge is to see if everyone from Year 4 can write a comment on it!

English - Writing

So far this week we’ve thought lots about the Zepler 2016.

Today’s task is to create your own new mode of transport.

You can draw a diagram of it or write a description of it. 

Here are a few things to think about before you start.

• How is your form of transport going to move?
  
• Will it use road,  water, air or rails?
• Is it a form of transport for one person (like a bike), a few people (like a car) or lots of people (like a train, bus or aeroplane)?
• How is different to current types of transport? 
  

English - Reading

How are you getting on with our new story? Today we are going to read (listen to) Chapter 4. 

When you have finished, draw a picture of your favourite scene from the chapter. 

Maths

We’ve learnt about squares, rectangles, rhombuses and parallelograms. Today we get to our final two quadrilaterals they are a trapezium and a kite.

Have a look at the diagrams below to learn about their properties.

Now that you've learnt about the properties of all six different quadrilaterals, your task is to guess which shape is being described from the clues below. 

• I have 4 right angles but my sides are not all equal. What am I?
• I have 1 pair of parallel lines. What am I?
• All of my sides are equal and I have 2 acute angles. What am I?
• My adjacent sides are of equal length and I have 1 pair of equal angles. What am I?
• All of my sides and angles are equal. What am I?

CHALLENGE: Which shape didn’t have a clue? Can you create a clue for it?

CHILLI CHALLENGE: Can you fill in the table with the correct quadrilateral in each box? You can only use each quadrilateral once.  Which quadrilateral doesn’t fit in any box? Why?

ICT

How did you get on with the coding last week. You should have now learnt a bit about some of the most famous coders in history. Maybe you could be the next Tim Berners-Lee or Ada Lovelace.

We’re going to continue with our coding on Purple Mash today.

Remember, it is important to have a good growth mindset. It was great to get questions from some of you last week to help you understand what to do. Don't forget that you can always use Purple Mash to get in contact with us. 

Don't forget...

• Write us a letter to tell us what you have been doing to keep active.
• Check back here later on to see this week's special mention and good learning. There are lots of amazing things to share. 
• Keep in contact with us on Purple Mash. 

Keep working hard, doing your best and being helpful.
