Task 2: Art- Decorative Door Steps

Take a stroll for your daily exercise, either after breakfast, lunch or even dinner. Gather some pine cones, pebbles, sticks or leaves which you can paint or decorate.

Decide how colourful you want to go and paint your items. If you do not have paint, see if you can place your items in colour order, size order or in a placement that creates a pattern or familiar image, like a smiley face.

Finally, once you have decorated your items or decided on pattern/picture, place them outside your door, window or even by your garden gate or fence. Eventually you may be able to do a stroll later on in the week where you can spot other year 4 children's front doors.

English Task 1:Carried over from previous week

English Task 2:

English Task 3 -story summary

The TV ad tells the story of busker Jack and his furry companion, Harry. We travel with the struggling pair as they try desperately to bring joy

and happiness to their cold, dark world. Littered with looming skyscrapers and devoid of nature, the pair struggle to break through to the

busybodies caught up in the rush of city life.

Jack desires one thing more than anything in life – to escape to the countryside. Using this desire to push himself forwards, he busks through

the harsh days and weary nights; slowly but surely, day after day, saving up the money he needs to buy a motorbike, to get his canine companion

out of the city.

Eventually, with enough fight and dedication, Jack scrapes every last penny together and sets out to ride away into the sunset. But not all is as

it seems – even though Jack put everything into buying the motorbike, he realised that wasn’t important. As long as Harry is back in the

countryside, by any means possible, and back with nature, that’s the best thing he can do for his closest friend.

How do Jack and Harry feel at the start of the video?

What do you see and notice about the setting of the story?

What can you hear?

What is Jack saving money for? How is he earning money?

How does Jack feel at the end?

What is important for Jack? What are they doing and enjoying?

English Task 3: Story Map plot points

English Part 3 and 4: WAGOLL

Plot Point one(Paragraph 1): What I notice…

Screeching noises of horns and sirens travel through the air, twisting and bending around corners. Skyscrapers stand tall, shading the streets

below. Secret glimpses of light make appearances, as polluting cars pass by. Eventually, they reveal a gloomy boy and his dog.

Plot Point two (Paragraph 2): What they feel…

Jack and Harry dream of the sun smiling on them. They imagine flowers blooming and dancing in the wind. They fantasise about the freedom

that an open field provides. Often playing his guitar in dark street corners, Jack desperately grips onto the hope of life in the countryside.

Plot Point three (Paragraph 3): What you notice/What do they do…

After many nights busking, Jack and his furry companion nearly fill a glass jar with the coins of freedom. Each coin added fills their hearts with

excitement. They cannot wait to purchase the bike of dreams and start their journey across green fields.

Plot Point four (Paragraph 4): What happens/How do they feel…

Finally, the day comes when the jar is full, but Jack’s dream bike is not what fills his heart with joy. As Harry places his delicate paw on the

freshly cut grass, Jack beams with happiness. All they needed was the countryside.

Maths Task 1 – Multiplication

Maths Task 3:

Start first by practising your number bonds to 1000.

Then you can write down the four number sentences that

Can be made, for example:

200 + 800 = 1000

800 + 200 = 1000

1000 – 200 = 800

1000- 800 = 200

Maths Task 4 and 5

Other Task 1:

Other Task 4 and 5

You can create a bar model to show the scale. One

block could represent a metre.

Think about creating a map key to show the symbols

for houses, shops, roads, fields, woodlands or

community centres.
