Science - Investigation
Last week, we made parachutes out of: white bin liners, wool, sellotape and a cube. If you are able to, have a go at making three different sized parachutes at home (draw three squares with measurements of 30cm, 20cm and 10cm for the surface area). Then cut twelve pieces of string/wool with a length of 15cm.
Investigation
Our question: If we change the surface area of the material what will happen to the amount of time?
Now you have your parachutes at the ready - it's time for the investigation!
Last lesson, we discussed how we could make it a fair test - ensure this is carried out fairly in the following ways:
1. Drop the parachutes from the same height (stand on a chair - make sure you are safe and supervised by an adult!)
2.Make sure the same person (of the same height) drops the parachute - arm stretched out horizontally and straight.
3. Drop each parachute - at least 3 times to see if the timings are similar. Record the slowest recording of each parachute drop.
Time
You will need a stop watch and another person to time the drops of the 3 parachutes.
Recording your time results
Use the table of results in the file below.

Topic
Today we are going to hear an inspiring story about a group of farmers who are working together to farm cocoa in a forest-friendly way. We're going to be thinking about Fairtrade not just from the point of view of improving people's lives, but also about how it can help the planet.
Think about the following questions:
What do you think is meant by forest friendly farming?
What do you think farming looks like that is not forest friendly?
Why do you think this type of farming might be important?
Discuss the reasons for the global importance of forests. There's loads of info online, for example this page of the Rainforest Concern website.
The video below is about a country called Sierra Leone. Before you watch it, find Sierra Leone on a map. You can use the whizzy map here if you'd like. Can you find out: What is the capital city? What is the climate? What countries does it border? How far is it from the capital city of Sierra Leone to Shrewsbury? (Use the measuring tool).
Watch this video called 'Guardians of the Rainforest' about the cocoa farmers of Ngoleagorbu.
On the worksheet, take notes or draw pictures to remind you of what you are told about each section: working together, farming sustainably and protecting the rainforest.
You will have to pause the video and even re-watch some sections to get as much information as you can!

So, to reiterate what you have just learnt about the moon phases in the information above, on Curriculum Visions...
Although the Moon is always a roughly spherical shape, we see the part that is lit up by the Sun. Depending on the Moon’s position in its orbit of Earth, we see a different amount
of the lit-up part.

Task 3
Now, watch the video below. I suggest you watch it all the way through the first time, but then watch it again and make notes. You will most probably want to stop and start the video as you write down your facts.
**Watch this video for an explanation.**
Below are some more useful websites to gain as much information as you can about the phases of the Moon, before you continue onto today's activity:
Task 4 - Activity
Match the names of the phases of the moon to each diagram. You could cut out and stick into your books or you could draw and label them.

Plenary
The Moon's orbit isn’t flat, it’s slightly tilted. Most of the time, this tilt means that when the moon is positioned between the Sun and Earth, we see a new moon. However, sometimes, depending on where we are on the planet, the Moon can block out the light from the Sun as it passes between it and Earth. Look at some pictures of some solar eclipses and watch a video:

Science Homework
Class 4, I would like you to observe the Moon each night - starting from tonight, and keep a running log in the form of a 'Moon Diary', so that when the sheet is completed you can bring them into school and we can discuss the phases of the moon on certain nights.
*It's important that you remember to fill in the date of commencement (when you started e.g. tonight: 2.3.21; the time each night MUST be the same and then the date for each night's observation. Really try hard not to miss any nights. Click on the file below for your Moon Diary log sheet.
As well as keeping a log, by colouring the moon shape each shape, try and name the phase of the moon, so that you become familiar with them.

RE
WALT: know and understand the term ‘not to judge a book by its cover’.
Last lesson, we learnt that the word 'Gospel' means 'Good News'. The New Testament is based on four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, which are stories based on the life of Jesus.
Question
Have you ever heard of this saying...
"Don't judge a book by its cover?"
"Don't judge a book by its cover?"
Discuss with someone, what you think this might mean.
Usually, I would demonstrate in class this activity for an introduction to the lesson, however, given the present circumstances I won't be able to carry this out - nevertheless, I will explain the activity instead! Please read below...
Remove the bottom panel from a tin of fruit and empty it of the contents. Replace the fruit with a mixture of orange jelly and ginger/chocolate cake mixed together to resemble pet food. Replace the bottom panel using tape and disguise the tin by sticking a label from a tin of pet food around the curved face. Explain to class you are very hungry, have had no breakfast and have no food to eat at school, therefore you are going to have to eat some pet food. Eat the jelly and cake mix and discuss pupils’ reactions. Strip pet food label from tin to reveal fruit label — discuss the phrase ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’.
It simply means...
'Do not form opinions of a persons character by looking at his appearance. You can't judge a book by its cover.'
'Do not form opinions of a persons character by looking at his appearance. You can't judge a book by its cover.'

Discuss with someone who you live with:
Pupils pick out what Jesus asks Peter and Andrew to do. Explain that by following Jesus,
Peter and Andrew would be giving up a lot. Remind pupils of their sketches and lists -
how would they feel if asked to give up so much? Pupils imagine giving up so much by
symbolically getting rid of their possessions and daily routines (for example, rubbing
sketches and lists out/giving them to the teacher/screwing the paper up).

Good morning Class 4!
We are looking forward to seeing you in tomorrow morning's assembly. To make the session interactive this week, so we get to hear from you, we thought it would be nice to share some of your work from this week, which you have particularly enjoyed. It could be: a short review based on our class read 'Offside' by Tom Palmer - what you've liked/disliked so far or read out some of your 'Happy Meal' chapter you have written; what have you enjoyed in Maths this week and why? Science, RE, Music (with Mrs A-B), PE or Topic - Fairtrade Fortnight (you might want to tell us what you've decided to do e.g. some children have already sent in their exhibition work - poems - which we would love to hear).
Please have what you're going to say prepared, so if you're chosen to share in Class Assembly tomorrow morning, you are ready to go! We only have 15 minutes - including Achievement Awards. Sorry if we don't get to share your work (even though you've prepared a little something) - we will do our best: technology depending!
Assembly will start at 9am. We look forward to seeing!

Task 2
What is the difference between Fairtrade and Fair Trade? Discuss.
Did you notice that the spelling of this 'Fairtrade' are two separate words, which have been joined together to make one new word with a new meaning? This is called a 'compound word'. It is also a noun - the name of a foundation. However, when these two words are separated it changes the meaning completely.
What information do you know about about this 'Fairtrade'?
Answer: As you will know, the spelling of this 'Fairtrade' is the name (a noun) of a foundation (an organisation) which was set up by CAFOD (a charity that helps people overseas) in 1992 to help tackle poverty abroad. When we see this logo on any products we buy from food and drink to football and rugby balls, it makes us mindful as to where they have come from? We immediately link this spelling with the Fairtrade logo (see below) which you are familiar with.

However, when the words 'Fair and 'Trade' are read as two separate words it changes the meaning. What do you think is meant by 'Fair Trade'?
Answer: 'Fair trade' is a way of buying and selling products that allows the farmers to be paid a fair price for their produce, and have better working conditions. Trade is 'unfair' when farmers receive very low income and have poor conditions while the companies that sell their products make lots of money from them.

Monday 22nd February 2021
Welcome back Class 4! As always, I hope you've have had a relaxing half term break and are now feeling refreshed and raring to go.
Over the next couple of weeks, you will be reading a story in English. Unfortunately, there isn't an Accelerated Reader quiz for this book. Please continue to read your own reading books at home and continue to take quizzes, but please bear in mind that each lesson will involve reading time, so you will probably want to do your silent reading at a different time of day to our usual early morning sessions.
English
To start us off this half term, we are going to be studying fiction. I have chosen a story called 'Offside' by Tom Palmer, which is his third book in the 'Foul Play' series. You may have read some of his books already as we have them in class. Football has always been a passion of Tom's, which is the reason why he decided to write stories based on his favourite sport - something which he loves and is interested in. Tom also likes to include other genres within his stories, so they aren't just based on football. These include: crime in 'Foul Play', spies in 'The Squad', ghosts in 'Defenders' and 'Ghost Stadium' and war in 'Over the Line'.
'Offside' is a topical and enthralling story which is not only about football but also tackles some big themes like: fair and unfair trade between Africa and richer countries and how young people can get involved with making the world a better place.
So as you can see, this story links extremely well to our topic this term on 'Fairtrade'. All the knowledge you gained last term will be really helpful, as you already have an insight to the meaning of 'Fairtrade', which will support your understanding when reading the story.

Introducing the author, Tom Palmer...
This week, you will spend mostly reading with a follow-up activity. So, let's get reading! I hope you enjoy the story. Happy reading!
Top Tip!
Remember whenever you are using the search engine e.g. Google, always type in what you're searching for immediately followed by 'for kids' e.g. researching the definition of 'football scout' you would type: football/sport scout meaning for kids

Task 1
Read the blurb and predict what you think will happen in the story. If possible, discuss with someone who you live with, drawing upon any knowledge you have of football and Fairtrade.
Questions to think about:
1. What problems could Kofi face when arriving in England from Ghana to play football?
2.How might this link to Fairtrade - unfair pay etc?
3. Will Kofi have to fund himself e.g. travel, living accommodation, food?
4.Can he afford it?

To read Chapters 1 and 2 click on the file below. How you read it at home is up to you. I would recommend that an adult reads to you, with you following the text. I will be reading it out loud to the children in class and will ask them intermittently to read out parts of the text. You could do the same at home. We are aiming to read at least two-three chapters a day - all depending on how long they are and remember there will be a follow-up activity to also complete.

This morning's teaching video is just under half an hour. The first part is appropriate to Year 4 as well as Year 5, but I would suggest when the teacher starts going on to thousandths, to stop at this point and view the Year 4 video - Bitesize (see below - more useful websites) on 'tenths and hundredths' only.
Year 5, I would recommend that you watch the full half an hour as the teacher finishes off with examples of greater than > and less than < signs and statements, which you will benefit from. There's also a useful BBC Bitesize website which provides videos, information and quizzes.

WALT: know how to use 'higher level connectives', using the correct punctuation before and after e.g. semi-colon and comma.
In yesterday's lesson we looked at the importance of how key, the use of 'connectives' are in 'Explanation' texts. Why? Simply because connectives add more information and when we're writing explanation texts, it requires lots of explaining - how/why things are done. So, you will be using lots of connectives, especially in this type of genre.
Task 1
Starter - using a two minute timer, recall as many connectives as you can from yesterday's lesson by writing a list. See how many you can think of in this given amount of time - GO!
After you have finished this, look at your connectives and now list them into two groups headed: Most Commonly Used Connectives & Higher Sophisticated Connectives. Discuss with someone you live with/class your answers.
After you have finished this, look at your connectives and now list them into two groups headed: Most Commonly Used Connectives & Higher Sophisticated Connectives. Discuss with someone you live with/class your answers.
In this morning's lesson, it is the 'Higher Level Connectives' we will be focusing closely on, and how to use the correct punctuation e.g. semi-colons and commas which always accompany them.
Task 2
We are going to explore, identify and use higher level connectives to make our ideas link together better to make our explanation texts flow better.
Rule
The use of a semi-colon is used before the higher-level connective but you could also use a full stop, capital letter and start a new sentence. A comma must be used after it too.

Topic
Part 1 WALT: recognise the Faitrade logo
Do an internet image search for the Fairtrade Logo. There are a few variations but the main theme is similar. What do you think the logo shows? People interpret it in different ways; what do you see?
What is the point in a company or organisation having a logo? It helps us to easily recognise their products! Think of some famous logos that you know. The Nike tick is certainly a very famous example, but you can probably think of lots more.
Draw the Fairtrade logo onto A4 paper. Don't trace it or print it; study the shapes carefully and draw them by hand. Hint: start with a circle. Colour it in in anyway you choose: paint, felt-tip, crayon, collage. It's up to you!
Part 2: WALT: know examples of other Fairtrade products
We know about Fairtrade bananas so far and have briefly discussed other products such as chocolate and coffee. But what other Fairtrade products do you know about? Some are obvious, others may surprise you!
In normal times we can take a wander around the supermarket, looking out for products with the Fairtrade logo. This year, we'll have to make do with a rummage in our cupboards at home and an internet search! The big supermarket's own websites are quite good for this (especially Co-op) and it's Fairtrade Fortnight soon so they will probably be promoting their Fairtrade sections! A general internet search may turn up other Fairtrade products that aren't normally stocked by supermarkets.
Build up a list of Fairtrade products. If you can, read the details and find out where in the world they come from. Look up the country on a map (online or in an atlas). It's amazing how far products travel to reach us! However, with some products, their country of origin is not clearly labelled, so don't worry if you can't find this bit out. Once you have started your list, keep it safe so that you can keep adding to it over the next few weeks, as you discover more products!

WALT: know how to use give/write an opinion for a film review.
Today's focus is to finish the film review on the 'Unknown Planet', from yesterday's lesson. In class, we managed to write two paragraphs. In the first paragraph, we concentrated on the opening - which consisted of a strong first sentence, that makes the reader want to read on, and the second paragraph was about the review itself. We used the film review template to help us structure and include what we wanted to say.
So, depending how you got on at home - the aim is to finish the review by the end of this session - no longer than an hour.
So, depending how you got on at home - the aim is to finish the review by the end of this session - no longer than an hour.
People have opinions to express how they feel about something or what they think about something. Click here for an explanation. In a film review, a person is giving their own personal opinions on whether they enjoyed the story line or not. Just as you would if you were to give an opinion about the book you have just read.
I have attached a file of sentence openers that you may find useful, or you might even adapt them. You would tend to use most of these in an argument or debate. Use them as you will.

WALT: know the basics of international trading and production chains.
Before we can work on what we are learning to know in today's lesson, firstly, we must be able to understand it. So, let us begin by taking the WALT apart and ask: What is 'international trading? And what are production chains? Discuss with someone you live with. The answers are below.
What is 'international trading'?
It is when one country trades with another - also known as importing and exporting goods.
It is when one country trades with another - also known as importing and exporting goods.
What are production chains?
A network of people and activities that help move a product from start to consumption by the end user.
A network of people and activities that help move a product from start to consumption by the end user.
For today's lesson, you will be playing a game called 'The Banana Split', which is usually implemented within a classroom setting, so a warning for adults - this game will need to be adapted to suit the purpose of the activity at home. Use the resource sheet as a guidance.
Think about how much of the 30p that a banana costs you would like to be paid if you were the
worker who picked it. Write down the amount in pence.
Then think about the owner of the banana plantation. How much do you think he/she would like to be paid per banana?
Ask you parents/older siblings - how much of the 30p would they like to be paid if they were the shippers, ripeners or the supermarket?
Now add up all these costs. What is the total? Is it more than 30p?
There's lots of opportunity for discussion here - about the fairness of this. Refer to the prompt questions on the sheet and read the information about the role of everyone in the banana chain.

This unfairness in how money is distributed in production chains is partly addressed by ideas such as Fairtrade. Products that carry the Fairtrade Logo have to meet certain conditions such as promising to pay their workers a better wage and ensuring that their working conditions are safer. Have a look for products that carry the Fairtrade logo in your cupboards. Over the next few weeks, if you can, build up a collection of packets of Fairtrade products.

Task 2 - making connections to today's world
On reflection of the story, Noah and the Flood, God was trying to do away with evil in the world and make it a better place.
For today's lesson, you will be thinking about - things we could do without in today's world in order to make it a better place. For example - discrimination (when a person is treated differently -not in a good way - because of some aspect of their identity, which is against the law. It can include things like: race, religion etc).
Open up the file below to access your worksheet for the lesson where you will be able to write down your thoughts and ideas. You will then split your ideas into two categories: Things we could stop and things we can't stop (out of our control).

Focusing on: 'Things we could stop', I would like you to think about how we can help stop these things from happening in our world. So, taking 'discrimination' as an example, to deter this from happening, let's educate children ( and adults) so that they are able to understand, respect and appreciate all individuals. Discuss each idea in your list and come up with a solution to prevent these things from happening.

WALT: know how to predict what will happen next.
This week, we will be linking our Science topic: 'Earth and Space' to English, so, for all you Sci-Fi fans out there - I think you're going to enjoy this!
What is Sci-Fi?
This term is used as an abbreviation for 'Science Fiction', which is a genre (a style of writing) that creates stories based on scientific and technological advances.
This term is used as an abbreviation for 'Science Fiction', which is a genre (a style of writing) that creates stories based on scientific and technological advances.
Elements of Science Fiction
Science fiction stories are great if you have a wild imagination, enjoy science, and/or just want to read something out of this world! These stories are fake or fiction, but often involve something real in science. They could even include an aspect of what society feels or thinks about changes that have really occurred or might occur. You will usually read about things of the future, time traveling, outer space, aliens, or current breakthroughs in science.

Task 3
Have a discussion with someone in your family about what the movie was about. Were your predictions correct? Did you enjoy it? If so, what did you like about it? What did you think of
the characters, as robots? What about the setting? Which planet do you think the robots are on? Why? Did you like the start of the movie, seeing the asteroids in space? We learnt about this last week in Science. Did you notice how the setting changed from a grey, dull sky, when the problem occurred in the story, to a bright, almost sunny sky at the end? Why would the filmmakers set out to do this?
Why not watch the movie again and every time you do, you will notice something new. We will continue this is tomorrow's lesson.

Watch the video, following the link below, for some inspiration on how to make a mask of your very own!
Today, you are going to have lots of fun at either designing your own mask or if you have resources in your house to make a mask! You don't need specific art and crafts materials - have a search around your house, with your parents permission of course, and collect as many materials as you can from recycled goods e.g. cereal boxes, wool, ribbon, plastic bottle tops, buttons,beads, lace, paint etc. Then all you need is glue, sellotape and string.
Your mask will need a purpose so have this in mind when you are designing and making it. This is made clear in the video you will have watched.
Please don't worry if you haven't got these materials - this week you can design what type of mask you would like to make. You could have a discussion with your families to see if they can help you gather materials together for next week - ready to make your designed mask.
Click on the link below to access your design worksheet. Draw your mask and label around the outside of the box (using a ruler) what materials you intend on using e.g. colour of paint/card, ribbon, fabric, lace, wool (hair), plastic tops, beads, buttons etc.
Top Tip!
Just make sure the final piece (mask) isn't too heavy as it will drop - keep it fairly light.

RE - People of God
WALT: know the links between the story of Noah and the idea of the covenant (agreement to look after the world and all living creatures in it).
Last week we listened to the story of 'Noah and the Flood'. In the ark, God carries Noah and his family through the flood unharmed to start afresh in a world returned to innocence. God was acting to restore the goodness of his creation; to rid the world of a wicked generation. God thought the world had become corrupt. He chose Noah (as the new Adam) to help make the world a good place once again.
Why did God choose Noah? In the file, follow the instructions to draw the pictures then inside the outline of Noah write words to describe Noah such as: righteous, faithful.
Why did God choose Noah? In the file, follow the instructions to draw the pictures then inside the outline of Noah write words to describe Noah such as: righteous, faithful.
| outline_of_noah_under_a_rainbow.pdf |
REMEMBER - God gave Adam and Eve jobs to do in the creation story and gives humans rules after the flood subsides. Both the creation and Noah's stories show that people have responsibilities given by God - part of being the 'People of God' is trying to live by God's commands.

English - Biographies
Last lesson, I asked you to interview someone who you know and have a go at writing their life story. This piece of writing will be good to compare with after we have studied the features of biography writing. I hope you enjoyed doing this activity. I received some lovely feedback and work sent in - thank you. It's great for me to see what you're managing to do at home - super effort!
In today's lesson we will be identifying the features. Basically, what makes this piece of writing a Biography. How does it compare to say: a story, instruction writing, a persuasive letter etc.

Can you remember the difference between a hyphen and a dash? In today's lesson we will be learning how to punctuate words using 'hyphens'.
Compound words (bedroom, afternoon, blackbird etc.) are words made from two or more shorter words. They have one unit of meaning. Compound nouns do not usually have a hyphen. A football is a ball that you kick with your foot.
We do use hyphens (-) to join words that make compound adjectives.

During the holidays, you will be spending lots of time having fun and we'd like to hear about what you've been up to! Keeping a diary of those special memories is a real treasure. Diary entries are usually written at the end of each day to recount what you've been up to. So, choose a day or two to write about something that you did - it really doesn't have to be anything too exciting (but please let me know if you do).

When we return back to school in September, our new topic will be the 'Ancient Egyptians'. It's such a great topic which I know you're really going to enjoy.

1. Firstly, write down as many facts as you can based on your current knowledge of the Ancient Egyptians. Even if you know one fact - write it down. By the end of the topic, you will have an extremely long list! This is a great way to show what you have learnt since starting the topic.
2. Think of questions you would like to find out about the Ancient Egyptians and write them down. This is a great starting point for carrying out your research.
3. Research time! Refer back to your questions and let your research commence. Depending on how much time you spend on this, you could keep your work in a folder, in a book or present your findings in the form of an information poster. You may even decide to make something from Ancient Egyptian times. On your return back to school in September we would like to put your work on display. BE AS CREATIVE AS YOU WOULD LIKE!

For this activity, instead of making a spinner, you can always improvise and write the digits on separate pieces of paper and turn them over on the table. If you then mix them up, you can choose your numbers in this way.

Topic/Art
Now that we have come to the end of our topic, 'Shrewsbury Since 1066', I would like you to think about which era you have enjoyed studying the most, having focused on the development of architecture. So, which type of building do you prefer; Medieval, Tudor, Georgian or Victorian, and why ?
In a paragraph, explain your choice in detail, backing it up with evidence. Also mention, which is your favourite building in Shrewsbury and why? You can use the internet to support your learning by using Google Maps - street view tool, where you can take a virtual tour around Shrewsbury Town.
Draw a picture of your favourite building, adding detail. You could use a variety of techniques such as: hatching and crossing, blending and tonal sketching. Or you might even want to create another 'Torn-Paper' masterpiece, inspired by local artist Lyn Evans, whom we met on our school trip - you'll just need lots of magazines and coloured paper for tearing!
