Year 4
Week Beginning: 18th May 2020
• We have really enjoyed seeing pictures of you completing the work we’ve set
or your own ideas. Please send us at least 3 pictures of yourself or your
work to Year4@abbey-tmet.uk
• Our 3 class times table stars (most improved accuracy) are Pratik, Jai and
Aditi. Well done!
• Have you done lots of reading this week? Remember that reading is great for
building your vocabulary and giving you ideas for your writing. This week, I
have been reading some autobiographies. I have found it really interesting to
learn about people’s lives from their point of view and what events in their
lives have made them into who they are.
• Don’t forget you have the CGP and the Abacus text books if you are looking
for more work to do. Please DO NOT write in the text books.
Eid Mubarak to all those families who will be
celebrating at the end of this week. We hope you
have a lovely day.
Keep safe and we will hopefully see you all soon,
Miss Kaur, Miss Fagan and Miss Resch

This is an optional activity that you can do with your
family at any time this week. We’d love to see pictures of
what you do.
Do something imaginative with an empty toilet roll. What can you
make? You could draw or paint onto the roll or cut it up to create
different shapes.
#creativity
We’d love to see what you make. Here are examples of us completing this challenge.
Miss Kaur made a pair of binoculars for her nephew.
Miss Fagan created some cat toys. Unfortunately, her cat ignored them ☹. She
decided to make a family of cardboard cats instead who enjoyed the sunshine in
Miss Fagan’s garden. James has named them Lucien, Dan and Bob.
Miss Resch used her toilet roll to make a bird feeder. Yummy!
