Friday Challenge!
Can you find the perimeter of a rectilinear shape?
Can you find any rectilinear shaped object around your home to find the perimeter of? |
Throughout the week, once you have completed the Reading, English and Maths tasks, choose activities from the second grid below.
| Science |
Can you make your own musical instrument? Using what you have learnt about sound, can you make an instrument so that it changes pitch and volume (loud and quiet)?
Looking at the guitar below, if I wanted each elastic band to make a different pitch, what could I do to the elastic bands? Think about thickness and tautness. Why does the cardboard box have a hole in it? What will the hole allow inside the box? Think about how sound travels and vibrations. If I wanted to make the sound louder, would I need to pluck the elastic band harder or softer? What is happening here? How does the elastic band make the sound?
Once you have made your musical instrument, write about how your instrument works. How did you plan it? What materials did you need? Does it change pitch? If so, how? If not, why is this? Can you make it louder or quieter? If so, how? If not, why is this?

Fitness & Wellbeing |
Please see the PDF document attached below this table.
It's Mental Health Awareness Week (18th - 24th May) and this year's theme is kindness. We discuss kindness a lot at school and how important it is that you treat others the same way you would like to be treated yourself. Your task this week is to show kindness. This may be through 'random acts of kindness' such as: writing a lovely note for your family member to find, surprising an adult at home by washing/drying up, cleaning your bedroom without being asked to, making someone a refreshing cold drink as a surprise on a hot day.

Hi Year 4, Did you know that computers work using coded language that tells them what to do? This week, I've got a task for you which involves cracking a code. Each emoji is a number, so you've got to work out what the numbers are and solve the calculations. If you finish, you could have a go at creating one of your own for someone at home to solve. Good luck and have fun! Mrs Fraser |
