vendredi le troisieme avril
Hi everyone, nearly there!
There are some great scores on the Sumdog competition, so please keep going as it’s the last day!
For all of our focused learning today, I have gone with an Easter 🐣 theme.
Spellings for today are: Easter, resurrection, Jesus, tomb, Sunday, spring, chocolate and risen. Why not make up some moves or a rap to help you remember the letters? Look at this link for inspiration, it is so funny!!
or you could make up a wordsearch using https://thewordsearch.com/maker
I have started one off in this photo.
Your literacy task is also about Easter. Read the passage very carefully.
Please write in your jotter – I can explain some Easter facts. Please remember to write in full answers so that the information makes sense.
1. What was Jesus made to carry on Good Friday?
2. Who gathered to greet Jesus and his disciples on Palm Sunday.
3. Who nailed Jesus to the cross on Good Friday?
4. Who discovered that Jesus’ tomb was empty?
5. Why was Jesus’ tomb guarded by a Roman soldier?
6. How might Jesus’ family and friends have felt on Easter Sunday? Imagine that you are one of these people. Please write a paragraph describing the scene, the atmosphere and what people might have said to one another. Research online any artwork, and names of people to help. This picture is good for the setting and look at how the people are standing. What are they saying?
Numeracy today is also Easter themed🐰.
Here is a revision of co-ordinates where you work out the grid reference and it shows you a letter. You use the letters to answer the riddle – which made me chuckle 😄.
In your jotter please write- I can apply my knowledge of grid references to discover a message.
To help you practise compass directions and co-ordinates, this is a game which I found very useful. It involves creating a path in a rainforest.

I hope that you have a safe and relaxing Easter 🐣 break. Keep washing your hands and helping out at home and I’ll be back on the Blog after the holidays.
Best wishes and lots of love to you and your families. X

Bonjour et salut! 
This link takes you straight to someone reading chapters 6 and 7 of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. You can then click on the following chapters so that you can hear and read more of the story.
For your spelling practice, please ask someone to test you on column 2 of your spelling wall.
Literacy – I can identify different types of sentences.
This link is a super visual to help you think about different types of sentences.
Look carefully at the different types of sentences and explain to someone their differences.
2. Make these statements into questions by changing them a little e.g. Jo copies Kim’s work – Does Jo copy Kim’s work?
- Pete’s book is very messy.
- Mrs Saunders shouted at Beth.
- The dragon was long and thin.
- Andrea will finish on time.
- There are no such things as unicorns. (Careful with this one).
Follow the instructions below to complete the sequencing and exclamations practice.
Here is another link to help you learn your times tables. I love the reggae beat music – have fun learning!
Here are some Easter Maths word problems for you to solve. In your jotter write – I can use the correct sum to solve word problems. Write out any working to show how you calculated the answer. I have done the first one for you. Remember to put in any signs e.g. £ or p for money, g for grams etc.
Have fun with this super Easter multiplication game.

Like Sam in the maths problem, if you have any chocolate and suitable cereal at home – cornflakes, krispies, shredded wheat, etc – maybe you could make some Easter nests too!
Exciting new site!!
For anyone interested in Harry Potter, a new site has been launched! It contains all sorts of different activities – why not take a peek?

Morning everyone! 
So, we are at April 1st. Have a look at some facts about this special day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBDK95V38S0
There is a good free spelling game on Spellzone under Spring week 2 called Egg Hunt, which is based on homophones and should wake you up!

The Literacy focus is reading and comprehension, with a variety of of questions for you to answer – making you think and make links. Read the passage carefully and make sure that you understand what each character is saying.
I can answer questions in detail
Read over your answers to make sure that they make sense.
I know that some of you have been taking part in Activelearn and Sumdog activities. Please remember that we are in a competition this week all about Place Value on Sumdog with P4! We need as many of you as possible joining in, so that we have a chance of being the winners . Come on, we can do it!! 
Now for your numeracy warm up! If you find a particular question tricky, you could always research the answer.
I can subtract 4 digits with exchange using the formal method
Choose 10 sums from the choice below, remember that I have already shown you how to do number 8 😁.
Today in France, Poisson d’avril is usually celebrated. Do a little bit of online research to find out more about how the day is celebrated and see if you catch anyone out at home.
Here is a link to a colouring page for 2 fish. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/79/e6/1b/79e61b5eac4cf12dfa8c7d8d622ccaa5.jpg
