Another BIG hello to everybody in fourth class! Missing you all a lot and I hope that everyone is doing well, staying safe and being a great help to your families at home. Keep it up! As we are off again next week I have set out some more school work for you to continue with at home. Note: As I said last time “Complete work as best you can and do not worry if you get stuck in any area. Just skip on the next thing and do your best in each topic area! That will be enough!”For this week, you will find an extra document uploaded along with this one. It is to be used after your spelling test activity on Friday in your English lesson. Classes in the school are creating a piece of writing about how what’s happening in the world now is affecting us and how we feel about it. Feel free to check it out, if possible with an adult, so you can be thinking about it during the week before Friday’s lesson.Keep following the active schools whole school PE programme which can be found on the Active School Flag section of our website.You can also keep following Joe Wicks (The Body Coach TV) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ
