Good morning Year Four!
We hope you have had a restful weekend and are feeling well and ready for another week of home learning. Here are your tasks for today. Good luck with them.
Warm up! Get ready for your day!
You might like to start your day with a Joe Wicks workout or a yoga session. Here are a couple to select from:
PSHCE:
On a Monday morning we always begin with a PSHCE session.
Today, we are going to be talking about 'fake news' and questioning whether something we are reading on-line is factual and true. Here are two short videos to watch and tell you a bit more about it:
Read through the pages below, they are from the PowerPoint we will be going through in class. There is a glossary at the end to help explain any new words to you.

Today, your task is to think of your own questions for a quiz about our topic, using the information you have learnt this half-term. You need to write down your questions, remembering to use question marks! Also, note down the answers.
Tomorrow you will be making the quiz on Purple Mash.
If you cannot remember your log-in details, please contact us, and we will email them to you.
Here are some pictures that might give you some inspiration for your questions.
Try to think of at least 6 questions and answers, but you are welcome to complete more!
Remember these words to start your questions. Can you use each one?
Who? Where? Why? What? When? How?

Reading:
Please try to read for 25 minutes today and if you complete a book, you could also take a quiz.
Geography:
3D map of Ancient Egypt
In school, the children will be planning and making 3D maps of Ancient Egypt. We will continue to talk about the importance of the River Nile and find out more about how the Nile was so significant to the people of Egypt.
Your task at home is to plan and then make your own 3D map of Ancient Egypt, including as many key geographical features you can think of. Some of these are given below, but you might want to do some extra research to consider what else you could include.
Here is a video showing some images of what Egypt may have looked like thousands of years ago:
The first two minutes of this video are useful- you do not need to watch it all:
You can make your 3D map out of any resources that you have at home, paper, card, boxes... It could be made as a diorama in a shoebox. You might prefer to use construction toys (Lego) or other materials you can find at home. You could even make it out of salt dough or cake! Be as creative as you like!
Here are a few pictures for inspiration.
This is a sheet to design your 3D map- or simply draw and list the resources you intend to use.
We look forward to seeing your creation!
Later in the week, we will be writing about our maps, so you might want to hold on to it to bring into school or take a photo of it.
Thank you for working so hard on your tasks today. We hope you enjoyed them.
