Home Learning Tuesday 12th January 2021
Good morning Year 4. I hope you had a good day yesterday and managed to complete your Home Learning. Well done for working hard – keep doing your best and make sure you stay happy and safe.
Please complete today’s work as if you were in school, taking care with your handwriting, spellings, punctuation, vocabulary, and of course, your presentation. Remember to try and do the work on the day it is set as it usually follows on from the previous day. 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 let us know and we will arrange for some books to be collected from the school office.
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.
Can you describe one of the characters? Does their name suit them? What is their appearance like – describe them from head to toe. What is their personality like?
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 end with ‘ture’ or ‘sure’. They will be tested on Thursday 14th January 2021. They are:
future nature creature feature
mixture picture adventure treasure
pleasure enclosure measure leisure
Practise the spellings by writing them in different coloured clouds. Write the date in your Home Learning Book (Tuesday 12th January 2021) and have a go.

Soon you will be planning and writing your own spy story. In preparation for this, you we will be doing some more work on characters today.

Write the learning objective Can I create profiles for my characters?
You should choose 2 characters for your own story – one goody and one baddie (you thought of names for them yesterday).
Create profiles (like you did last week) for your characters. Write the headings which are given on page 21 and describe them carefully. Include a picture of what they look like.
Times tables
Practise your 3, 6 and 9 times tables on Sumdog.
Use the link below to go to ‘Hit the button’. Choose a times table or division fact you know you find tricky. Play ‘Hit the answer’ – see if you can get faster and add your results to your log. Play ‘Hit the question’ – see if you can get faster and add your results to your log.

By the end of Year 4 you should know all your tables and division facts, therefore please keep practising!
Maths
Use the link below – play Hit the button, Doubles, Doubles from 10 to 20. If you get stuck, partition the number.
eg Double 17 Double 10 (20) then double 7 (14) and add the two together (20 + 14 = 34)

On Monday, we started revising types of lines (parallel and perpendicular) and angles. To consolidate this, I have set a challenge on Sumdog. Please log on and have a go. We will return to this topic when we are all back in school so being confident with this now will be beneficial.
Reminder - right angles - 90°
- acute angles less than 90°
- obtuse angles more than 90° but less than 180°

French
Bonne annee! Happy new year!
Last term, we looked at some verbs that are used a lot in French. Je fais means I do. Je vais = I go. Tu joues= you play. Elle regarde = she watches Il aime = he likes.
Now we are going to make them negative, turning I go into I don't go, I play into I don't play etc.
All we have to do is put ne ....pas (nuh ......pa) round the verb. So il joue becomes il ne joue pas. Je vais becomes je ne vais pas.
Write the long date mardi douze février
Write the learning objective Can I make verbs negative?
Have a go at the worksheet attached to the blog. If you can manage to change the seasons so that the sentences make better sense as well, that's even better! You can always use an online dictionary to help you with any vocabulary, such as this one: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english-french .
Finally, can you read your sentences? Remember final consonants are usually silent. The online dictionary will speak the words for you to help with pronunciation.
Good luck!

- A maths times table challenge (based on the 3, 6 and 9 times tables)
- A maths ‘types of lines and angles’ challenge

Please make sure you log on and have a go!
Well done for finishing today’s work. Have a lovely evening and stay safe.
