Home Learning Wednesday 6th January 2021
Good morning Year 4. I hope you are all safe and well. It was lovely seeing you all on Monday – you always bring a smile to my face. Unfortunately, things have changed and we are not able to be together as a full class until after February half term (at the earliest). Please all try your best to stay positive, I’m sure many of you will keep in contact with each other during this tricky time.
Each evening, I will put the following day’s Home Learning on the Year 4 Blog. Please complete the work as if you were in school, taking care with your handwriting, spellings, punctuation and vocabulary. Try and discipline yourself to get up each morning and do your work to the best of your ability.
Please collect the purple Home Learning exercise book you used during our isolation weeks in November, from the school office. Alternatively, you may collect a new book. This exercise book will be used to record your Home Learning – be proud of all your achievements – you will be able to share these with me, Mrs Whitworth and your class mates when we return to school.
If you need any reading books, please ask your parents to email or ring Mrs Rothwell and we will arrange for some books to be collected from the school office.
Reading
Today, please read out loud to someone at home for 20 minutes. Make sure you discuss what has happened in the chapter / story so far.
Have you found any new words today? If so, copy them carefully into your reading diary. Use a dictionary to find the meanings and write the definitions in your diary.
You can find even more books to read on our website. Go to Year 4, Home Learning and click on Oxford Owl. Use the class login and password and explore lots of books to read.
Spelling
This week’s spellings all have an apostrophe in – they are all contractions.
Please make sure you practise your spellings on Sumdog and in your exercise books. These spellings will be tested in school on Friday 8th January, so please aim to learn them for Friday.

couldn’t who’s would’ve there’s
they’ve can’t shouldn’t you’ve

If you come across a word you are unsure of, use other clues from the sentence to help with its meaning. Does it have a capital letter? Is there part of the word you recognise from another word you know? Look the word up in a dictionary if you are still unsure.
