Today you are going to think about who inspires you.
Maybe Captain Tom has inspired you.
Maybe a family member inspires you, or maybe a member of your local community. Perhaps you have more than one person that inspires you. Think about who inspires you and write a paragraph about who they are and why they inspire you.
After researching the inspirational people this week, how do you feel? Have you been inspired? Write another paragraph to explain who and what has inspired you this week and how this might influence your actions in the future, e.g. After reading about Greta Thunberg, it has made me consider how everybody’s actions affect the environment. From now on, I will consider how I can help my family to be more environmentally friendly.

Today you are going to research facts about Greta Thunberg. Read the information from the following websites and watch Greta Thunberg's speech to world leaders at the UN Climate Action Summit.
Create a mini biography for Greta. (A biography is the story of someone’s life). Scan the texts to find important dates and numbers, e.g. date of birth, key ages or dates when things have happened in her life. Read sections carefully (close reading) to find out the following: • Where was Great Thunberg born? • What is she so passionate about? • Why is she inspirational? Rather than copying chunks of the text from the websites, try to put the information into your own words. If you find any unfamiliar vocabulary, note that down and use a dictionary, e.g. https://www.wordhipp o.com/ to find the definition.
Try to include some Year 4 sentence types, e.g. fronted adverbials for where or when. eg, A few years later, … From New York, … Make sure you watch my video below to remind yourself of Year 4 grammar.
Once you have finished, check your work back through. Make sure that you have used correct punctuation. If you have used a fronted adverbial, make sure you have put a comma after it.
Maths
Today please watch Week 1 (not Summer) Lesson 3 Tenths on a place value grid then complete the sheets below it. Finally, mark it using the answer sheet. Ask a grown up if stuck.
