For example, can it camouflage? 10 Points *Design and create your own sea creature – labelling its special features *Complete a litter pick on the beach to help protect the oceans. Go with an adult and be careful of the sea and items you might find. Please bring in a picture for your SOLE book. *Make some different length sea creatures and measure them with a ruler.

Task 1 – Maths
The children have had a big push with times tables this week, however, despite this the children have all been able to find areas they still need to improve. Mathematics relies heavily on the understanding of the times tables and it can often be the key to unlocking future learning. Last week saw the children having a go at different games, so this week we want the children to practice their recall through a written method.
Please complete the times tables sheets provided. You may want to give yourself a time restriction, or set a time to try and beat for your second go.
Once you have completed the activity, check and mark your answers. This will allow you to see what you need to improve for next time.
Please stick your completed sheets into your home learning book.

Now place one multiple of ten in each circle so that each side of the triangle adds up to 100. You cannot use the same multiple more than once and you will not use them all. Is there more than one solution? How did you work this out? Was it chance or did you notice something about the numbers? Are there any multiples you cannot use?
Challenge: Place any 2-digit number in each circle so that each side of the triangle adds to 100. You can not use the same number twice. Each number must have a different digit in the ones column.

As they are all proper nouns, remember that they will all need to start with a capital letter!
You need to know how to learn how to spell at least your full name and date of birth, so make sure you spend a bit of time practicing these each day!
As part of their home learning, Year 4 created posters persuading children to brush their teeth regularly. The posters were judged by external judges and the winning 8 posters will be sent to local dental practices in the area to be displayed on notice boards in their waiting rooms!
The winning posters were designed by Jake Wetten, Emily Reed, Ethan Wright, Louie Hines, Theo Locke, Jensen Heike, Aron Marsan-Stott and George Margrie. Congratulations to them all!
Years 5 and 6 have been busy creating their own picture books from scratch – they’ve written the stories, created the illustrations, designed the covers, written the blurbs…
