Home Learning Thursday 7th January 2021
Good morning Year 4. I hope you are all safe and well and completed your work successfully yesterday. Remember to stay positive and try and do other things that you enjoy and may not always get time to do, for example baking, playing board games or drawing.
Please complete today’s work as if you were in school, taking care with your handwriting, spellings, punctuation, vocabulary, and of course, your presentation. Try and discipline yourself to get up each morning and do your work to the best of your ability. It is important that you continue to work hard recapping and practising previous learning, as well as learning new things.
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.
Can you predict what will happen next? Use evidence from the story to make your prediction.
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.
