History

Having already looked at Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius, we are now going to learn more about volcanoes throughout the world. To start us all off, I would like you to do a little bit of research about what exactly a volcano is and create a fact file sheet about a volcano of your choice.

Here are the questions I would like you to answer on your fact file sheet. 

1. What is a volcano?

2. What causes a volcano to erupt?

3. What is an ash cloud?

4. What is a volcanic bomb?

5. What is a pyroclastic flow?

Here is one resource to get you started:

Extension

If you have any space left on your fact file sheet, draw a sketch of a volcano and have a go at labelling the different sections as this is what we are going to be looking at this week.

Science - Types of teeth (25.01.21)

Hi Class 4, I hope that you are enjoying finding out about our digestive system. If you haven't finished your explanation text yet don't worry you can continue it over the next couple of weeks, but this week I want us to go back and look at the beginning of the digestive system in more detail. We are going to focus on teeth, looking at the different types of teeth we have and their functions. Before we begin, I'd like you to look in a mirror at your own teeth. Do they all look the same? Do you know what they are called and what they do?

I have included a link below for you to use this week to find out more about your teeth. Please work through the pages in this link to find out more. I have also included a link to the BBC bitesize page which has videos and more information about teeth for you to use .

Your Task:

To draw a diagram of your mouth including all of your teeth, draw your diagram like the ones on the website showing the upper and lower jaw and each tooth. I would like you to label the names of the teeth and write a short description about their function. Do you have any teeth missing? Do you have any adult teeth?

Have fun learning about your teeth class 4 and remember to send in your diagrams for me to see.

Here is today's Maths activities class four. Please watch this video before completing the varied fluency questions and the extension worksheet.

English

We are going to focus on learning about pronouns the rest of this week. Please watch the videos below and match the nouns and pronouns to the correct category from the second video. 

History

There are three different classifications of volcanoes, these are: active, dormant or extinct. This means how active the volcano is, or has been in the past.

1. Active: An active volcano means there is regular activity. 

2. Dormant: A dormant volcano means there has been some recent activity, but the volcano is currently quiet. 

3. Extinct: An extinct volcano means it been so long since the last eruption, that it is highly unlikely to ever erupt again. 

I would like you to do some research and find out if there is any active, dormant or extinct volcanoes in the UK. After this, I would like you to research one volcano (choose from an active, dormant or extinct one) in Europe and create a mind map about that volcano. 

You could mention where the volcano is located (city, country, continent), when it last erupted, what date this happened and the impact the eruption had on the surrounding area.

Here is an example:
