Weekly Bulletin Year 4B and 4S Date: WB 13/07/20

Message Dear 4B and 4S, We hope you are all well. It’s nearly the summer holidays! Are you excited? We hope that you have lots of exciting things planned with your family. Remember, stay safe and wash your hands often! We can’t wait to hear all of your stories of what you have been up to. For our final bulletin, we will be looking at the water cycle! The water cycle is very important because it is how water reaches plants, animals and us! Rivers are part of the water cycle which shows us just how important they are! This week, we will also be reading the book ‘Mr Stink‘ by David Walliams, looking at endangered rhinos in Science and learning about position and direction in maths. Take Care. We can’t wait to see you all again in September! Mrs Brady and Miss Shreeve x x

Lesson 2 – Complete a Symmetric Figure

LO: To be able to recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things. Rhinoceros are one of the most endangered animals in the world. Unfortunately, there are only five species of rhino left on the planet.

Rhinos are often hunted by poachers for their horns. In some countries, Rhino horns are in demand as people want to use them to create daggers or use them as medicine.

Read the following sections to learn about why rhinos are endangered:

tion

Thankfully, over the last 10 years people have been trying to fight the poachers and stop them from killing the rhinos and stealing their horns. One of the ways that they have achieved this is by painting their horns pink!! This means that the horns are no longer worth anything and therefore the rhinos are not killed!

Task

Research six endangered species and find out the following:

How many are there Left in the world?

ART /DESIGN Geography

Art This week, our art lesson will be based on our Science topic. Richard Symonds is a well known artist. Not only does he produce fantastic pieces of art but he has also been actively involved with raising large sums of money and awareness for wildlife through the sale and auction of his original paintings, drawings and limited edition prints. In 2006, Richard hit the headlines when he completed his first life-size oil painting of an African bull elephant called “Tembo”. It sold for a staggering $100,000.00 to a private collector with a large donation from the sale going directly to The Born Free Foundation!! Here is a picture of one of his drawings:

RIVERS – Water Cycle LO: To be able to use appropriate geographical vocabulary related to the topic.

The water cycle is the continuous journey water takes from the sea, to the sky, to the land and back to the sea.

The movement of water around our planet is vital to life as it supports plants and animals. Powered by the Sun, the water cycle is happening all the time around us.

Watch the following videos about the water cycle to help you with your understanding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5gFI3pMvoI
