Home Learning Monday 1st February 2021
Good morning Year 4. I hope you had a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend. Welcome to another week of Home Learning - keep doing your best and trying to work as independently as you can. Remember to post your learning on Seesaw – I have been so impressed with the learning I have seen so far and have enjoyed seeing your videos and pictures too!
Reading
Please read out loud to someone at home for 20 minutes. Make sure you discuss what has happened in the chapter / story so far.
How would you describe this story or text? What genre is it (this means the type of story, for example, adventure, horror, mystery, fantasy, science fiction etc) and how do you know?
Spelling
These are your new spellings which will be tested on Monday 8th February 2021. They are all homophones. Homophones are words which sound the same but are spelt differently.
tide tied knight night break brake fought fort
waist waste guest guessed feet feat
Write the long date Monday 1st February 2021
Copy the homophones carefully into your book. Find out the meanings of any words you don’t know. Can you add any pictures or symbols to some of the words to help you remember what the different spellings mean?
English
Today, please read / listen to Chapter 3 of Kensuke’s Kingdom. A copy of the book is attached to the blog and a link to the audio is below.

Make sure you look up any words if you are unsure about their meaning.
- As you are reading, write down the date and names of places the family sailed to. See the document ‘Dates and places’ attached to the blog – print this out and complete it as you are reading or copy the table into your book. Extend your retrieval skills by adding some details about the sea conditions (was it stormy, gale force winds, no wind at all etc). The date and learning objective are on the ‘Dates and places’ document.
- After you have read the chapter, use an atlas to find the places in your table and label them on the map of the world (see page 2 of the ‘Dates and places’ document.) If you click on the link below it will take you to an interactive map of the world and you can zoom in on different areas / countries. Alternatively, you could use an atlas if you have one at home.

Times tables
A times tables challenge has been set on Sumdog. This is to consolidate and practise your 3, 6 and 9 times tables.
Please practise your own tables target using Hit the button. If you are on ‘free’ tables, please practise a times table or division fact which you know you find tricky. If you are in school this week, you will be tested on your individual target on Thursday 4th February 2021 – if you are on ‘free’ tables, you will be tested on ÷11.

Counting
Count in 25’s from 0 to 350 and back again. Count in 25’s from 500 to 775 and back again. Think about what you found tricky? Write the numbers down as you say them – what do you notice?
Please count in 12’s from 12 to 144 and back again – can you go any further? (if you get stuck, add 10 then 2 onto your last number if counting up, or subtract 10 then 2 if counting down). Write the numbers down as you say them - do you notice any patterns?
Eg 12 24 36 36 + 10 = 46 + 2 = 48 60 etc
Maths
Use the link below – to play Daily 10.
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10
Click on play game. Choose level 3, Doubles/halves, Upto 100. Choose the time interval between each question eg 3 seconds, 5 seconds etc. You will need to write the answers down and check them at the end.
Remember make jottings to help!
Eg double 57 Partition into 50 and 7
Double 50 = 100 Double 7 = 14 100 + 14 = 114
Repeat this game a couple of times and see if you can calculate more quickly and more accurately each time.
Today, we are going to learn what factors and factor pairs are.

PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education)
This week is Children’s Mental Health Week - the theme is 'Express Yourself'.
Mental health is about our feelings, our thinking, our emotions, and our moods. Looking after our mental health is important. We have small feelings every day – they may be happy or sad, but they go away before too long. Sometimes we experience big feelings, these may feel strong or overwhelming for a longer time.
Each day you will be asked to write a ‘Well-being journal’ which will be attached to the blog. In addition, there will be 2 other activities to have a go at.
Today, please:
- Complete the Well-being journal attached to the blog
- Have a go at the ‘rectangular breathing’ activity on the second page of the journal
- Choose one of the mindfulness activities on the third page of the journal to have a go at
