Home Learning Tuesday 19th January 2021
Good morning Year 4. I hope you managed to complete your Home Learning yesterday. Try not to worry if you don’t manage to finish everything in one day, sometimes things may take a little longer. Remember just to try your best.
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.
Summarise what you have read so far by speaking for one minute without hesitating or saying ‘um’?
Spelling
These are your new spellings which will be tested on Thursday 21st January 2021. They all have the prefix super. A PREFIX is a group of letters that change the meaning of a word when they are added to the START. Super means ‘above’ or ‘over’.
superstar supermarket supernova supermodel
superpower superhero supernatural superglue
supersonic superintendent supersaturated superstore
Write the long date Tuesday 19th January 2021
Use look, cover, write, check to practise your spellings. Write them 3 times each.
English
Today you are going to be writing your own spy story which you planned yesterday. Read over your planning ideas from yesterday. You should be in a good position to start your writing.
Write the long date Tuesday 19th January 2021
Write the learning objective Can I write a spy story?
Give your story a title, for example, Mission Possible. When you are writing please focus on:
- Handwriting – neat and joined up correctly – please sharpen your pencil before you begin!
- Capital letters for proper nouns (places and people)
- Ambitious vocabulary
- Past tense (it has already happened) and third person (using the pronouns he, she, it, they etc)
- Paragraphs (start a new paragraph for each part of the story eg the opening, build-up, problem, resolution and ending)
- A variety of sentence openers (see the ISPACE document attached to the blog)
- Connecting sentences using words such as and, but, or, yet, so
- Including some correctly punctuated speech BUT NO MORE THAN 6 SENTENCES OF SPEECH
Please time yourself and write for 20 minutes. It does not matter if you do not finish your story within this time, however, you should have written nearly one side of A4 in 20 mins.
Read over your work. Then time yourself to write for another 5 minutes.
Read over the last 5 minutes work. Tomorrow we will edit our work, with a fresh set of eyes. Well done!
Please share your work on Seesaw
Times tables
Practise your 4 and 8 times tables on Sumdog (a challenge has been set).
On Monday 4th January, you were all given your individual table targets. Please practise your table target using ‘Hit the button’ and the link below. 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 21st January 2021 - if you are on ‘free’ tables, you will be tested on ÷8.
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!
Counting
Please count in 4’s from 100 to 150 and back again – can you go any further?
Count in 8’s from 100 to 200 and back again – can you go any further? (if you get stuck, add 8 on to your last number if counting up, or subtract 8 if counting down)
Count in 10’s from 880 to 1060 and back again. Count in 10’s from 925 to 1095 and back again. Think about what you found tricky?
Maths
Use the link below – play Hit the button, Doubles, Doubles Multiples of 10, Upto 500. If you get stuck, partition the number.
eg Double 180 Double 100 (200) then double 80 (160) and add the two together (200 + 160 = 360)
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button
See how many you can get right in 1 minute. Then play again and see if you can beat your score.
Over the next couple of weeks, we are going to learn more about multiplication and division.
Please open the maths worksheet called ‘Multiply by 1 and 0’ attached to the blog. You may print this off if you have a printer.

Write the short date 19.01.21
Write the learning objective Can I multiply by 1 and 0?
Complete the worksheet as instructed (if you have printed it off) and stick it in your book or write the answers directly into your Home Learning Book.
Check your answers from yesterday, they are in the document ‘Answers Perimeter of a rectilinear shape’ which is attached to the blog. Make sure you look carefully at any questions you got wrong.
For the last week or so, we have been revisiting and learning more about measurement – length and perimeter. To consolidate this learning, I have set a challenge on Sumdog. Please log on and have a go.

Click on Lesson 13 with audio. Can I name some shapes in French?
Download the PowerPoint and work through it, focussing on correct pronunciation.
Replay each one several times, and make an action to correspond to the shape, as you say the word. The lesson ends with colour mixing!
Write the date mardi dix-neuf janvier
Write the learning objective Can I name some shapes and add a colour in French?
Draw the 5 mathematical shapes (square, circle, rectangle, triangle, oval) and colour each with a different colour. Remember to use a ruler to draw straight lines. Now colour each one a different colour. Write the correct word next to each shape and the colour you’ve used : Un cercle bleu, or whatever colour you used. Remember the colour goes after the noun in French! A circle blue.
You can draw and name the other shapes too if you want.
Now read them again, making sure your pronunciation is correct.
Bon travail
Please share your work on Seesaw so that I can see your super French.
