Friday 27th March- Year 4

Date: 27th Mar 2020 @ 8:06am

Happy Friday Year 4 :)

We are both very proud of all the work you have been doing at home this week.

Finish the week off with a fantastic Joe Wicks work out. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ Then why not spend some time creating your own mini work out, we could try these out when we all get back to school.

Today’s learning pack activities:

Maths - The mystery of the missing horse challenge

English - Ancient Egyptian Dentists

Handwriting Practice - Year 3 & 4 National Curriculum words (1 page)

Don’t forget to record your work in your red exercise book.

This afternoon we would like you to think about this big question, this links to our last Science topic (states of matter)

Write your ideas in your red book and in the comments below. Ask somebody in your house as well and see what their ideas are.

Background science

Freezing is the term used to describe a liquid changing state into a solid when you cool it. It’s a reversible change, so if you apply heat to something frozen it will melt back into a liquid. Water usually freezes at 0°C, but its freezing point can drop below zero if it contains substances such as salt or alcohol. Seawater freezes at around -2°C, while antifreeze can stop the water in a car’s radiator from freezing even at -30°C!

Glacial ice (that is glaciers, ice caps, ice bergs and the sheets of ice that cover arctic regions) holds a vast amount of the world’s fresh water,  while salt water is found in the seas and oceans.

Think about:

• How would polar bears and penguins live?
• How could you make a cool drink without ice?
• What would happen to all the snow in winter?
• What would happen to the sea levels?

 We are looking forward to this discussion.
