Today is World Autism Awareness Day!
We all know someone who is on the Autistic Spectrum. What can we do to understand and support a friend, a colleague, a relative who has autism? The most helpful thing we can do is to understand what autism is and how it can affect people.
Watch the animation video to find out key aspects of Autism. What can you take from that?
Then watch the second video which contains lots of practical tips. What tips would you put into practice to support someone with autism in your class, family, place of work, neighbourhood?
Understanding is the first step to acceptance. As we say at Howard Primary School : we are all different, we are all equal!

Hi Year Four!
We are now into our second week, hopefully you are starting to find a routine and you are all keeping well. Thank you to those of you who have sent us videos and work to share on Class Dojo. We love seeing all the amazing things you are doing!
If you have not had a chance to check it out already, please have a look at Class Dojo and send us a message. Please join us on this forum as you and your child can email us, send and receive photos, videos and see daily tasks in one place. We have sent all parents an email inviting you to join but this is a learning curve as we have not used the programme before so please let us know via teacher to parent if you have not received the invite and we will endeavour to contact you in a different way.
As always, continue to read, using Get Epic or your own books or books you have borrowed from school. We have added tasks to Mathletics and would love to hear about your experiences with Real PE and TT Rockstars.
New tasks for today’s home learning:
Maths-Have a go at lesson 3 of week 2-Hundredths as decimals on Whiterose homelearning.

English- Today we are going to use a poem about a dragon to help us practise using expanded noun phrases and prepositions. If you can’t remember what these are, check out this website to remind you;

Read the poem The Dragon Who Ate Our School
Did you manage to find the rhythm of the poem as you read it aloud?
Can you spot any features of a narrative poem in it? Features of a narrative poem Which did you spot?
Now can you add a verse or two about what the dragon ate using expanded noun phrases and prepositions. Remember to share these with us!
Can you learn any of the poem off by heart, maybe perform it to your family or record it to share with us.
Or look at the picture of a dragon (or draw your own) and try writing your own descriptive poem about it.
