Answers have been provided so that you can check. Remember to read the questions carefully.

Afterwards, look through the answer sheet and check to see if you have identified all the misspelt words correctly.

Fossil Fuel
Much of the world’s energy is produced by burning fossil fuels such as oil, coal and gas. These natural resources are formed from the remains of plants and animals that died millions of years ago. They are used to power everything from planes to gas cookers. In this lesson, you will learn about fossil fuels and renewable energy.
Music
Exploring Emotions
In this week’s lesson, you will be looking at how colours are used in music and how different pieces of music can make us feel different emotions.
Spanish
Where you live
In this lesson, you will recap your previous learning in Spanish and then learn how to answer the question ¿Dónde vives? and saying where you live in Spanish. For this lesson you will need a pen and pencil and some paper, as well as another person or a cuddly toy to have a conversation with!
Star of the Week!
The Year 4 team would like to say a massive thank you to all our children and their families during this difficult time. The effort you have all put in with home schooling is amazing and we are overwhelmed with your positivity and how well you are doing. Due to school closure we have been missing out on our usual weekly ‘Head Teacher Awards’ that acknowledge the children’s efforts. Therefore, whilst school is still closed to Year 4, we have decided to start our very own ‘Star of the Week’. We will publish the names of our weekly superstars here on the blog.
4MW – Rachel for her continuous hard work and for super work in Science in classifying animals.
4PP – Noah A for his super presentation and effort over the past few weeks.
4KP – Kamran for his selfless and kind act adopting endangered animals. He saved his Christmas and birthday money and adopted 3 animals – an oragutan, penguin and jaguar. This touched our hearts, not only that but Kamran is hoping to save more money to adopt a tiger, turtle and gorilla. Well done Kamran, this is so very throughtful.
New Spellings for Summer Term B
Please choose the correct spellings for your group. The Year 2 spelling sheet is for pupils who have their Spelling lesson with either Mrs Sweet, Miss Mower or Mrs Dalton. If your child has a daily Phonics lesson with Mrs Gaffoor or Mrs Wilson, they will need to select the correct spelling sheet for their group (also attached below).
