Dear P4 pupils, Week Beginning: 15th June 2020
We hope you had a good weekend and are ready for this week’s learning activities. Thank you for all of your
hard work and fantastic efforts over the last few weeks. We really are proud of you and you should be too!
This week, we will continue with the weather theme in handwriting and science, and as part of this you will
create your very own ‘cloud in a jar’. We will also revisit our previous learning on Sikhism and research the
Golden Temple of Amritsar. For literacy, there is a new spelling pattern, and we will work further with
contractions.
Keep posting to our class twitter page if you can. If you would like to ask me any questions about your learning
or you would just like to get in touch, you can email me at [email protected].

Health and Wellbeing Topic/Other Curricular Areas P.E.: Catch It Quick Equipment: a partner, a ball or soft object such as rolled
up socks
You are learning to improve your reaction time. Stand
facing each other. One person (the holder) holds the
object as high as possible out in front of them. The other
person (the catcher) waits with hands by their side.
• On the count of 3 the holder drops the object and
the catcher reacts quickly to catch it before it hits
the ground.
• Repeat this for 10 attempts before swapping over.
See who can catch the object the most times before it
hits the ground. Practise throughout the week to
achieve the best possible result.
Health and Wellbeing: ‘Unworry Island’ Worrying is natural. Everybody worries and that is ok. It is
especially ok in strange times like this. It is important to
look out for how you are feeling and remember that
worries are just thoughts inside your head.
Task: Design your own ‘Unworry Island’, a place you can
imagine and visit whenever you need to, especially at
bedtime if worries are stopping you from sleeping. It
doesn’t have to be realistic. The most important thing is
that there are no worries there.
Things to consider:
• What is the weather like?
• Where do you stay? (e.g. a hut, a treehouse, etc.)
• Who else is there with you or are you on your own?
• What do you eat? (e.g. fish from the sea)
• Who/What do you play with?
Train your body to relax whenever you imagine the
island. Don’t just visit the island once, pop back again
and again, and add or change things whenever you
like. Be as imaginative as you can.
RME: Sikhism
You are going to revise your knowledge of Sikhism and
learn about the Golden Temple of Amritsar.
Sikhs display their commitment to their beliefs by wearing
the Sikh articles of faith. The five articles of faith are referred
to as the Five Ks.
Task 1: Complete the word search below. Can you find the
five articles of faith?
The Sikh symbol is the Khanda. It is made up of a
double-edged sword, two crossed swords and a
circle representing God without a beginning or
end.
The Golden Temple is in the city of Amritsar. Sikhs bathe in
the sacred water around the temple, calling it a ‘pool of
nectar’. Sikhs try to go at least once in their lifetime, but
anyone can go inside because Sikhs think that everyone is
equal whoever they are and whatever they believe.

Task 2: Research the Golden Temple and
make a poster/leaflet with some interesting
and informative facts about it. Remember
to include a title and some images too. Can
you draw the Golden Temple? You might
find this website useful for your research: http://www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/religion/sikhism.html
Science: Clouds You are going to look at different clouds you see nearly
everyday. They float in the sky above us and block out the
Sun. Sometimes clouds are white and puffy. Sometimes
they are dark and cover the entire sky. Different kinds of
clouds can mean different kinds of weather.
Meteorologists study the formation and make up of clouds
to understand the weather better. See the names for

kettle? https://vimeo.com/65784474
