Class Novel Now that you are all up and running with Microsoft Teams, we have uploaded recordings of us reading our Class Novel. You will find them in Class Materials Class Novel – Charlotte’s Web. This week, you will find Chapters 19 - 22 uploaded to Microsoft Teams. Please make sure you are listening. If you have your own copies, please read along.

Key points and good vocabulary As a way of keeping track of what is happening in the story, after each chapter it is a good idea to bullet point the key events of that chapter. You could also pick out your favourite word(s) or new word(s) that you have learnt from that chapter and write down the definition. If you have a copy of the book at home, you might like to do this on post-it notes and stick them inside the book for each chapter. Remember, when summarising you need just the key points – it shouldn’t be too long or too detailed.

Year Four Monday 22nd June 2020 English, Poetry

If Cats had Flavoured Fur

If cats had flavoured fur

it’d surely make all those

time-consuming grooming sessions

much more enjoyable.

Take my cat, Jessie, for example –

she’s a tortoiseshell:

white, ginger and brown.

Currently, each patch of fur

must taste the same: furry.

Boring.

Now

if cats had flavoured fur

the white bits could taste of, say,

milk instead – mmm!

Far more pleasurable for her.

Nice cold, ice cold milk.

Refreshing.

If cats had flavoured fur

Jessie’s ginger bits would have to taste of

ginger.

I don’t know if Jessie likes

ginger.

Or if cats in general like

ginger.

But they’d have to taste of ginger.

It’s my poem, so end of.

If cats had flavoured fur

what could Jessie’s brown bits be?

Sausages? Possibly.

Chicken skin? Hmm.

Both a bit rich for Jessie’s simple tastes,

I imagine.

How about biscuits? Cat biscuits. Yes!

She likes those.

Crunchy cat biscuits

cracking on her back teeth.

Sorted.

Milk, ginger and cat biscuits.

I’m pretty certain she’d like that.

Yes,

surely she’d prefer

to be a cat

with flavoured fur.

Matt Goodfellow

Year Four Tuesday 23rd June 2020 PSHE, Charlotte’s Web - Friendship

Year Four Wednesday 17th June 2020

One of the main themes throughout Charlotte’s Web is friendship.

The book looks at lots of different friendships between the

characters but the main one is Charlotte and Wilbur’s friendship.

Charlotte saves Wilbur’s life by writing positive adjectives about

Wilbur in her web above his pigpen.

She writes:

Some pig

Terrific

Radiant

These are all qualities that describe how wonderful Wilbur is.

Activity 1

1. Think about what you believe

to be the most important

quality in a friend.

2. Choose one word to describe

this quality and write it in the

web (right) just like Charlotte

did.

3. Using the lines underneath

the web, explain why you

think this is the most important

quality to have in a friend.

Activity 2

Think of one way of showing this quality to someone

else today! This could be a family member at home

or someone further away.

e.g. If your word is kindness find one way of doing

an act of kindness for somebody else!

If Giraffes had Flavoured Fur

If giraffes had flavoured fur

it would surely cause a stir.

It would make their tasteless grooming

rather delightfully booming.

I wonder what life is like as a giraffe?

It looks like a barrel of laughs.

Their fur wouldn’t taste at all mild,

since a giraffe is rather wild.

Now, what would taste of yellow?

Surely it could not be marshmallow

Bananas are rather sweet

Yes, I think they would go down a treat!

Now, what would taste of brown?

Bread? But I think that might make them frown.

How about chocolate? Yummy!

They would like that in their tummy.

A deliciously tasting snack

with just a lick of their back.

Surely, they would prefer

to be a giraffe with flavored fur.

Using the WAGOLL below and your rhyming couplets from yesterday, you

are going to write your own poem based on the animal you designed with

flavoured fur.

As you can see from the WAGOLL, you are going to be writing the poem

using rhyming couplets.

A rhyming couplet is a pair of lines that rhyme.

Write 5 verses

(or more if you

want a challenge!)

TASK 1

In Y3 and Y4 you have learnt about different faiths: Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and

Sikhism, You have learnt about some of the beliefs and values people have that belong

to these faiths and how they behave in their daily lives because they belong to a faith.

Last term, we were learning about the religion Sikhism. The Sikh community of men and

women is known as the Khalsa which means the 'Community of the Pure'.

In order to become a Sikh and join the Khalsa, people need to follow the Five Ks.

Can you remember the video we watched about the 5 Ks that Sikhs always wear to

show their faith? Watch the following video to remind yourself about these.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z3sb9j6

If you are a Sikh, is it enough to wear the Five Ks or do you have to show you

believe in the Sikh values through your actions?

Only one of the Five Ks is visible (can be seen) by the outside world, the others

are hidden under clothes. Why do Sikhs wear them if others can’t see them?

Year Four Wednesday 24nd June 2020 RE – What does it mean to belong?

Sikhism

TASK 3: On the next page is a Knowledge Organiser but some of the information is

missing. Can you fill in the gaps? Use the information on this page and from the video to

help you.

TASK 2

You can use the following link to learn more

about being a Sikh or read the information on

this sheet

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zsjpyrd/

articles/zkjpkmn

What do Sikhs believe?

Sikhs believe in one God who guides and

protects them. They believe everyone is equal

before God. Sikhs believe that your actions are

important and you should lead a good life.

They believe the way to do this is:

Keep God in your heart and mind at all

times

Live honestly and work hard

Treat everyone equally

Be generous to those less fortunate

than you

Serve others

Guru Nanak

Guru Nanak is the founder of Sikhism. Guru

means ‘Teacher’.Sikhism is still based on his

teachings and those of the nine Sikh Gurus who

followed him.

What is the Sikh holy book?

The Sikh holy book is called the Guru Granth Sahib.

The tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, said that after

him there would be no other living gurus. Instead,

Sikhs could look at their holy book for guidance.

This is why Sikhs call their holy book a Guru.

The Guru Granth Sahib is a collection of lessons

from the ten gurus as well as Sikh, Hindu and

Muslim saints. It is written in Punjabi and is greatly

respected by all Sikhs as the living word of God. It is

kept on a raised platform under a canopy in the

Sikh place of worship. All Sikhs take off their shoes

when they are near it.

Where do Sikhs worship?

The Sikh place of worship is called a Gurdwara which

means 'Gateway to the Guru'. A Gurdwara is any

building where the Guru Granth Sahib is kept.

In the UK, Sikhs usually go to the Gurdwara on Sundays.

During the services they listen to teachings based on

the Guru Granth Sahib. They also chant and say

prayers from the gurus. These are called Keertan.

The Langar

The service ends in a langar (a shared meal). Everyone

is welcome to share the meal.

Thursday 25th June 2020 Science – Grouping living things

Lays eggs Does not lay eggs

Birds

birds

All living organisms share the MRS NERG

characteristics. This is how we know they

are alive!

Living things have lots of other

similarities, and many differences too.

We can use these similarities and

differences to sort the living things into

groups.

Here the organisms have been sorted

into two groups. We have used a

diagram to represent these groups.

Plants Animals

We have asked questions to see if it is a

plant or an animal. We sometimes call

this a criteria, which means a rule that

we use to decide something.

Activity One

From the list of animals, sort them into four groups below on the Carroll

Diagram.

Activity Two

From the list of animals, group them sort them into three groups below on the Venn

diagram.

Lays eggs Can fly

Activity Three

Choose a way to sort animals

into groups. Label your groups.

You could use a Carroll diagram

or a Venn diagram.

Here are some criteria ideas to

group your animals:

Plant or animal.

Lives in the desert or does

not live in the desert.

Has legs or does not have

legs.

Lives on the land or lives in

the water.

Year Four Friday 26th June 2020 English, SPaG – Prefixes

SPaG – Prefixes

A prefix is added to the beginning of a word to make a new word.

Most prefixes are added to the beginning of root words without any changes in spelling.

Like this:

Prefix Root Word Prefix + Root Word

dis- connect disconnect

mis- take mistake

un- cover uncover

It is important to understand the definitions of prefixes because they help us figure out the meanings of any new words we come across.

Prefix Meaning

dis- It means ‘not’ or ‘the opposite of’.

mis- It means ‘wrong’ or ‘false’.

un- It means ‘not’.

Think about the different words which can be created through adding these prefixes.

Write four different words which can be created through adding the prefix dis-. They must be spelt correctly. a)________________ b)________________ c)________________ d)________________

Write four different words which can be created through adding the prefix mis-. They must be spelt correctly. a)________________ b)________________ c)________________ d)________________ Think about the different words which can be created through adding the prefix un-, write four below. They must be spelt correctly. a)________________ b)________________ c)________________ d)________________ Draw a line to match each prefix to the correct root word so that it makes a new word.

Un appear

Dis tidy

Mis popular

un behave

Using the words that you have created above, write one sentence for each word.

A photo montage is a collage made from photos.

The artist takes several images - on a theme - and arranges them to

form a picture.

Your challenge is to create your own photo montage story.

1. First decide on your theme or subject:

Portraits work really well for this so maybe you could use family member – maybe even your pet! You could show them playing a board game, a game outside or even splashing in the paddling pool!

Or your theme could be your garden, a walk that you go on or something completely different that you have thought of…

2. Collect your selection of images:

If you have access to a phone or tablet, take lots of photos of your subject. Take photos from different angles. Don’t worry if they move – it all adds to the effect

3. Create your montage:

Using an app such as PicCollage (lots of you know how to use this from school)

select, crop and arrange your photos to create your very own montage. Try out

different arrangements until you find the one you like best.

Famous examples have been created by the artist David Hockney - a significant British artist who uses photo

montage in some of his work. Hockney refers to his photo collages as “Joiners” because he joins lots of smaller

images together. He realised that the collection of images tells a story because it shows time passing as people or

objects move.

No worries if you haven’t got the Tech!

An alternative method is to draw and paint your own collection of

images and then stick them onto a background. Cubist artists such as

Picasso were doing this long before Hockney!

Try drawing your subject from different angles, for example a face

looking straight at you and then looking to the side (this is called a

profile). Cut them up and mix them up on your page.

Use pencil, paint, felt tips, crayons – whatever you like. You could

even cut images out of a magazine.

Don’t worry if your finished picture looks a bit strange – it’s all about having a go at something new.

We can’t wait to see some of your work so please share it either on Twitter (by tagging @GorseyBank or your

group’s Feed) , on Microsoft Teams or by emailing it to [email protected]
