Year 4 — Home learning - 20th September 2019

Home learning - Year 4 - Autumn Week 3

20th September 2019

2nd Week of a 2 Week project - The masked ball

A massive thank you to all of those who have already returned their wonderful masks.

In scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet the characters attend a masked ball.  I would like you to have a go at designing and making a mask for the partygoers.  It can be as fantastical as you like and decorated as befits a wealthy italian family from the late 16th century and ideally will have a stick or elastic to hold them in place when being worn.  Here are some ideas.

Please return your home learning by Friday 27th September.

All the World Is a Stage!

On Monday we will be going to Weymouth Pavilion for our Shakespeare Schools Workshop.  The children will be learning techniques that they can use for the performance. Also we will be having a go at developing one of the scenes in the play.  The scene I have chosen is the final scene. I have included a copy of it, so pick a part and have a go. Be as dramatic as you like. I will be casting this weekend, the auditions have been so strong I know I will have problems choosing!  Also apologies in advance if not everyone gets to be their favourite characters. There will be plenty of opportunity for us to have a go at all of the parts as we polish our performance and practise scenes.

X tables

Keep hammering those 2s, 4s and 8s.  Why not try times table practise at:

Year 4 - Shakespeare Workshop - 20th September for 23rd September

A reminder that we will be going to take part in our Shakespeare Workshop on Monday 23rd September, we will arrive back at school a little late for lunch so please bring a packed lunch to eat when we get back.  If you haven't returned your agreement form please bring it with you on Monday.  We will have some spare copies in the classroom.

Also, please return your request form for tickets by Monday, so that we can order the tickets.  We will request payment once we have the tickets.

Year 4 - Shakespeare and Swimming - 19th September 2019

I have been absolutely astounded by year 4 and their amazing acting skills this week.  Lots of children have come to audition (in the limited time that we have had).  We will be holding more auditions tomorrow during our Literacy lesson.  I plan to give out the parts at the beginning of next week so that children can start learning their lines.  We will be rehearsing hard over the next few weeks.

If you have not yet returned your reply slip for tickets for our performance on 6th November, please return these as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.  We will be block booking at the end of next week, if you request tickets after this time you will have to buy them directly from the pavilion at a slightly greater cost.  We will let you know when we need the money!

Swimming will begin next Wednesday 25th September.  Please ensure your child brings their swimming kit, goggles, hat and towel and if you haven't please let a member of the year 4 team know if you wish to pick up your child from the pool. 

Looking forward to our non-school uniform day tomorrow and be prepared for a POW greeting in the morning!
