Year 4 Topic Home Learning - 25.01.2021 - 29.01.2021
To all of my super year 4 children. It has been great to speak to many of you as well as seeing some of the work you have produced. Here is this weeks topic lessons. Make sure you keep engaging with the lessons on here to make sure you are not missing out on any important learning. Keep up the great work.
Monday - Science
Last week we looked at light reflecting of retroreflective surfaces. Today we are going to be looking at how reflects of mirrors. Here is a PowerPoint explaining how light reflects of mirrors.
Here is a video as well to support you. Do not worry about the angles or the rules because that is not the focus of this lesson. This video just helps understand how the light can reflect off mirrors.
Challenge. I would like you to draw the image on slide 6 of the PowerPoint using a ruler. Focus on how the light reflects off the mirror.
If you have drew the image on slide 6. Can you draw how the light would reflect if the light source started in different positions.
For example you may draw an image representing if the light source was central with the mirror it would reflect straight back at the same angle.

Tuesday- Computing
For this you will need to access the internet and either a word document, or an online note page. I understand this may not be the same on all devices. This video and lesson is focused on using a laptop or a computer. If this is not possible, do not worry as I am aware that this may be difficult for some to complete.
Now you have been shown how to copy an image and paste it into a word document. I would like you to pick your favourite animal and copy and paste the images on to a document. I look forward to seeing some of images that you have chosen.
Story Time.
