Ideas for Reading this term:
- Continue with the reading response task sheet! (see bingo sheet aattached) - If you can, make a note of the tasks you've completed with evidence (or stick it into your home learning book) and you can still recieved the housepoints for each row you have completeled!
- Remember the 100 reads is a great starting point and the following website is also a great place for recommended reads: https://schoolreadinglist.co.uk/reading-lists-for-ks2-school-pupils/suggested-reading-list-for-year-4-pupils-ks2-age-8-9/
- Why not set yourself your own reading challenge - How many books can you complete until we return back to school! Keep a log of all the books you have read; you could even give them a review or marks out of 10!
Feel free to carry on with this P.E project!
Remember: use the song: 'The Aquarium' taken from the musical suite 'The Carnival of the Animals' written by Saint Saens and choreograph your own dance to match the music!
When you have done this, why not send us a video of your dance or feature it on Mr Webster's blog! We'd love to see it!
Can you choreograph your own dance to go with this piece of music?
- Think of ways in which sea creatures move and how you could create similar movements with your own body.
- Listen carefully to the different parts of the piece of music - How might you move? Will you repeat part of your routine?
- Could you hold a balance for part of the dance?
- Try to count the beats of the music as you move and move with the beats.
- Perform your dance to your family - or send us a video of your dances! (Mr Webster's Blog)
Have Fun!
