Welcome to Year 4
Christos Anesti everyone and welcome to the summer term.
This week the government have announced new online learning with the Oak National Academy. The new website includes online learning and lessons for all ages groups from reception upwards and can be found here:

We recommend doing these and the BBC Bitesize learning at https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/dailylessons
Please remember, as Mrs Mantilas said to parents in her previous letter, this is only a guidance and do not feel obliged to do everything.
If you would like to do some more reading please also go to www.oxfordowl.co.uk
Hi everyone,

Also I have started to publish two RE lessons a week on youtube. It will consist of learning about a particular topic in the church, its significance, then an activity for you to complete when you have watched the video.

Hi children,
I hope you are all have a safe and happy Easter break. Miss Sandberg has been making cakes with her daughter and even went on a 5k run yesterday to raise money for the NHS. It was not fun! Mr Theophilou has also been celebrating Easter with his family.
Well done to parents for getting through three weeks of home school!
Please take this second week of the holidays to relax and have family time. Remember, reading is the most important activity for learning that you should be doing daily.

XRISTOS ANESTI
Hi everyone,
Well done for the past few weeks. It has been a hard time but together we can get through it. As we come towards the Easter period, take the time to relax and prepare for the resurrection of our Lord.
Repeating what was said by Mrs Mantilas earlier in the week, see this work as a guidance. If you feel your chidlren would prefer to do other activities such as cooking or spending the time outdoors, do not feel obliged to pressure your chidlren to complete all the work. As always the mental wellbeing of your chidlren comes first so take your judgement as to what you want your children to do.

Hi everybody,
Missing you all so much, this is a strange time but don’t worry, we will see each other soon! It is very strange not being in the classroom teaching you all and hearing your funny stories.
Today Chester Zoo are doing a live feed of their animals, via their Facebook page. It will change animal every hour! Check it out if you can.
Have a lovely day and practise your times tables!
Miss Sandberg
Good morning Year 4
Today is the Annunciation of the Theotokos. The day that the angel Gabrielle came down and told Mary that she was to have a baby and he was going to be the Messiah Jesus Christ.
I would like you to watch the following video that tells you the story of the Annunciation then read the story from the bible link below. Then when you have watched those, pretend you are Mary and you have to write a diary entry about the day you received the news about your new baby that you are going to have.
Link to story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZXtTgZ0rpI
Bible verse: https://www.bible.com/bible/68/LUK.1.26-39.GNT
Also below is the link to the prayer for the annunciation of Theotokos. You can listen to this while you are doing your work.
Have a blessed day
Mr Theophilou
