Class 4 Catch up 4.5.2020
Date: 4th May 2020 @ 9:12am
Hi Class 4,
Or rather…
Today is Star Wars day and people who follow it greet each other with this phrase on May the 4th. They would normally say “May the Force be with you” but today they can say “May the Fourth be with you”. Do you get it?
It’s also Mr Williams’ birthday today. I won’t tell you how old he is but I will say we’d need a lot of candles (had I been able to get some!!) on his cake. This is our 1st family birthday since lockdown. It’s a bit strange not being able to go out for a meal to celebrate or even to go out and buy a birthday card. Instead, I’ve made a card for my husband. I hope he likes it. I wonder how many of you from Class 4 have had a birthday whilst we’ve been off. Who is now 8 or 9?
It’s nice to see that the weather is getting a bit better again. I’ve been sitting in the garden doing my school work outside as it is much nicer than being cooped up in the house. Last week, while I was outside though, I swallowed a fly!!!!!! Don’t read the next bit if you’re squeamish… I then threw up everywhere! Out came the fly and out came my tomato and red pepper soup. It was everywhere. Not a pretty sight, I can tell you!!
You can start reading again now.
Anyway, how are you diddling? Did you manage to do the lovely work on Captain Tom? How amazing is he and his achievement? Did you enjoy doing your time capsule work last week? I bet you did. Feel free to carry on with that if you’d like and if you’ve got some spare time. I know the school packs had a lot of lovely colouring and creative work you could do and I hope you got to have a good bash at them. And remember, I gave you some extra time capsule sheets to do if you wanted to do even more on it.
This week, I’ve set you some work on VE Day. Check out our class page on Home Learning for more information.
I’ve helped organise a “stay at home street party” for all the people in my road to celebrate VE Day next Friday. It won’t look like this though.
We’re going to wear red, white and blue clothes and also decorate our houses with red, white and blue balloons and bunting. All my neighbours will be having a picnic in their front garden so we’ll still be keeping our distance and staying safe. I wonder if you could do something similar. Look at the Wartime recipe book I sent you in your Home Learning pack for this week and please ask your parents to help you. We’re going to play wartime music and songs from the 40s too and then, to finish our celebrations, we’re all going to sing a very famous song from the war called “We’ll Meet Again” by Vera Lyn. Have you heard of it? It’s quite a good song to sing for the times we’re going through now.
I’d love to hear how you’re getting on so please drop me a line at [email protected] as it’ll put a big smile on my face. Try and take photos of any VE Day celebrations you’re involved in and send them to me so I can put them up on our class page gallery.
I’m off to have a piece of birthday cake now for my breakfast (shh!) so catch you later.
Be good and know that I’m thinking of you while I’m singing this song:
We'll meet again,
Don't know where,
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through,
Just like you always do
'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away
So will you please say "Hello"
To the folks that I know?
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go
I was singing this song
We'll meet again,
Don't know where,
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
We'll meet again,
Don't know where
Don't know when.
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do,
'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away
So will you please say "Hello"
To the folks that I know?
Tell them I won't be long.
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go,
I was singin' this song.
We'll meet again,
Don't know where,
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Love
Mrs Williams xx
