Also, why not try to keep active indoors, while you are at home? Every morning from 9am Joe Wicks (the Body Coach) will be holding live PE sessions on his YouTube channel (the Body Coach TV). These will be saved on his page and you can do them at any time. It is a great way to burn energy and keep yourself entertained!
Finally, remember to take time to be mindful. Spend time in quiet spaces, read books, colour pictures, listen to music, observe the nature around you. Remember, stay safe and take care.

Science 27.03.2020 – String telephone project
All you need is some string, a sharpened pencil and 2 paper cups.
Instructions:
- Cut a long piece of string, you can experiment with different lengths but perhaps 20 metres (66 feet) is a good place to start.
- Poke a small hole in the bottom of each cup.
- Thread the string through each cup and tie knots at each end to stop it pulling through the cup (alternatively you can use a paper clip, washer or similar small object to hold the string in place).
- Move into position with you and a friend holding the cups at a distance that makes the string tight (making sure the string isn’t touching anything else).
- One person talks into the cup while the other puts the cup to their ear and listens, can you hear each other?
Let’s get creative!
How do you feel about getting creative at making your own musical instrument? When we discussed this in class, we shared some really good ideas of what we could make by using various objects. For example, we talked about how we could use kitchen roll holders and tissue boxes to make a guitar. Remember to use elastic bands for strings. Some of you talked about making a drum or shakers. Have a go! You could display you’re completed musical instrument on our Year 4 twitter page. Look forward to seeing your musical creation.
Remember to plan it first! Good luck.

We have all enjoyed learning about The Vikings. The unit is coming to an end. Last lesson we learnt about how the legal system worked in Anglo-Saxon Britain, so now, we have an understanding of crime and punishment in Anglo-Saxon Britain. Hopefully, now we are able to compare and contrast the Anglo-Saxon and modern British justice systems.
If you missed the lesson, don’t worry, I’m sure your friends will tell you all about it!! Which brings us to the final lesson in this unit. Have a read through the power point and complete the task.
