Good morning class 4 
I've had a few emails from some of you updating me on your week so I thought I'd tell you a little bit about mine too. I've been spending a lot more time at home (obviously) and my nosey next door neighbour's dog (Dexter) has noticed; he keeps jumping up at fence (he doesn't get socially distancing) and whining for attention so I've somehow ended up agreeing to take him on our 'daily exercise'. He's really naughty and barks when he doesn't get his own way. He also pulls on the lead and tries to jump up at people! It could be a long few weeks...
Have you got a pet? Why not send in some pictures of them to brighten up our Wednesday page.

Maths – Well, we’re done with fractions for a little while but don’t worry, we’re going to do a bit more on co-ordinates! Do you remember co-ordinates? They are used to show the location of a place on a grid or map etc.
To help us place a co-ordinate in an exact position we have two lines; one going vertically and one going horizontally (their proper name is the X and Y axis)
You then get given two co-ordinates like (7,6). The problem with having two co-ordinates is which one goes where? To position your co-ordinate correctly you must follow this rule ‘Go along the corridor then up/down the stairs In other words you place the co-ordinate that is going along the horizontal line first then you place the second coordinate following the vertical line.
So let’s try, Can you see the image of Jack celebrating his birthday? What co-ordinate is his on? Follow along the vertical line first until you reach the number he’s in line with. What Is it? That will be your first co-ordinate. Now follow the line going up until you reach the number it’s in line with. What is it?
Do you get (-3, 6)?
Now let’s look at the next picture. Which animal is at (7,6)? It’s a little confusing because one’s at (7,6) and the other is at (6,7) but remember, go along the corridor first and then up/down – so which animal is at (7,6)?
You should agree that it’s the mouse.
Now find the three crosses, one’s green, blue and orange (the orange is on the bottom line in case you haven’t spotted it) Can you name those co-ordinates?
You should get the green as (-4,7) blue as (3,4) and the orange as (-2,0)
Try a few more on this link https://www.mathsisfun.com/data/click-coordinate.html
Also try this and select four quadrants https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/469/Coordinates-Alien-Attack
Task for both groups – If you can, download the template of the four quadrants below and print it. (If you can’t print you’ll have to draw it out in your maths books 
- from -10 to +10 going up and down and 0 right in the middle - click download anyway and you'll at least be able to see it)
-co-ordinates 2.pdf- < < < (Click that - I'm hoping it will open up into a printable document 
)
Once it’s printed (or drawn) plot these following co-ordinates.
E.G number one: plot (-7,-6) and plot (-7,-7) and then join the two up (with a ruler if possible) Make sure when you’re plotting them, you do it right where the lines cross.
Then number 2: (-7,-7) you already plotted so now plot (4,-7) and join the two using a ruler.
Keep going like that and a shape will emerge but what is it a shape of?
I’ll post the answer tomorrow – but here’s a clue for now ‘look high’
Here's the co-ordinates to plot
English:
Today we’re carrying on with clauses! Remember sentences are made up of clauses main and subordinate. Every clause has to have a main or it wouldn’t make sense.
E.G because he’s super fast. Does that make sense to you? No, you need the main clause to go with it.
Rhys won the 800m race because he’s super fast!
Can you identify the subordinate clause in this sentence below? Hint – it will have a conjunction joining it to the sentence.
Meghan cheered so loudly when Leeds United scored. (true story)
What’s the subordinate clause in that?
It’s ‘When Leeds United Scored – that doesn’t make sense alone.
How about this.
If Max works hard, he’ll be allowed to keep all of his cute, adorable puppies! (sadly not a true story!)
The subordinate clause this time was ‘If Max works hard’ (if is the conjunction)
Task: Find the sheet 7 ‘identifying clauses’ choose a colour for main and another for subordinate. Underline all of the clauses in those colours. Make sure you read each sentence aloud. Find the main bit. Say aloud, does it make sense to you? Say It to someone else if you like, does it make sense?
P.S – some of you will notice that there are relative clauses in here too – they can be considered subordinate clauses too as they also wont make sense if you say them on their own.
Also complete page 8 – Make sure on part 2 you actually write another subordinate not a main. E.G He collapsed on the ground (that’s main) I’m going to add a conjunction on and extend it with a subordinate clause.
He collapsed on the ground AFTER he’d completed the Joe Wicks p.e session! ( I think I’ve written an autobiographic sentence there!)
Reading - Please read for 20 - 30 minutes. I don't mind if you'd like to log onto the Oxford Owl tree to listen to some audio stories. (see last week's pages for the info)
Computing
I read on the BBC news that Minecraft are offering 12 free lessons which you have to download (?)
and I know mine craft is popular in class 4 - I don't actually know what it is but why not take advantage of their free learning packs. We would have been doing space after Easter and there's a lesson on building the international space station so try that one (and others if you like it)

That's it for today,
