Home Learning Wednesday 10th February 2021
Good morning Year 4. Welcome to Wednesday’s Home Learning. I hope you are all well and staying positive. Remember to keep practising the dance routine – I’m looking forward to seeing your videos on Seesaw. Click on the link here to see the dance video again.
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.
Draw and label a picture of one of the characters. Include information about what they look like, what they like to wear and their personality.
Spelling
These are your new spellings which will be tested on Tuesday 23rd February 2021 (when we come back to school after half-term). They are another set of homophones. Homophones are words which sound the same but are spelt differently.
him hymn new knew mist missed heel heal
side sighed piece peace rain rein reign
Write the long date Wednesday 10th February 2021
Practise each of the words using look, cover, write, check.
Choose some of the homophones and write your own sentences using them correctly.
For example, piece and peace
The piece of paper was torn in half.
Her parents wanted some peace and quiet.
Handwriting
A video will be uploaded to Seesaw on Wednesday morning. Please watch the video and practise your handwriting in your Home Learning book.
Write the long date Wednesday 10th February 2021
Write the title Handwriting
English
Today, please re-read page 89, from ‘A storm broke over the island that night …..’ to page 90 ‘There could be no fire now until it had dried out.’ An audio recording will be uploaded to Seesaw on Wednesday morning.
Please open the document called ‘English Descriptive Writing’ attached to the blog for today’s task.
Please share your work on Seesaw
Times tables
A times tables challenge has been set on Sumdog. This is to consolidate and practise your 2, 4 and 8 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 11th February 2021 – if you are on ‘free’ tables, you will be tested on ÷12.
Counting
Count in 10’s from 1940 to 2090 and back again. Count in 10’s from 85 to 225 and back again. Think about what you found tricky? Write the numbers down as you say them – what patterns do you notice?
Please count in 8’s from 0 to 96 and back again. Write the numbers down as you say them - do you notice any patterns?
Now count in 8’s from 100 to 196 and back again. Write the numbers down as you say them – what do you notice now?
Maths
Click here to play Daily 10.
Click on play game. Choose Level 3, Doubles/Halves, Halves up to 100. Choose the time interval between each question eg 3 seconds, 5 seconds etc. Remember to write the answers down and to make jottings!
Eg Half 134 Partition into 100 30 4
Half 100 = 50 Half 30 = 15 Half 4 = 2 50 + 15 + 2 = 67
Repeat this game a couple of times and see if you can calculate more quickly and accurately each time.
Today, we are going to extend our learning using the formal written method of multiplication. This will build on the work you completed on Monday.
Write the short date 10.02.21
Write the learning objective Can I use the grid method to multiply a 3d number by a 1d number?
Please watch the video which will be uploaded to Seesaw on Wednesday morning. This video will explain how to multiply a 3 digit number by a 1 digit number.
Please open the maths worksheet called ‘Multiplication 3d x 1d’ attached to the blog.
Complete the worksheet and answer the questions in your Home Learning book. You must use the grid method as this is the strategy we are practising today!
Check your answers with the document ‘Multiplication answers’ attached to the blog. Look carefully at any questions you got wrong and try to find where you made the error. Was it your multiplication or your addition which you found tricky? Write a note on your work to explain what you found tricky today.
French
First let’s recap the phonics sounds from the week before last by watching the video again. This week, you are going to try and write down the number and colour words that contain the sounds.
Before you start, write the date and learning objective in your book:
mardi dix février
Can I use phonics to help me spell French words?
Then write each of the phonic sounds, leaving space underneath each to write down the words that have the sound in. Spread them out on your page. The sounds are:
Ou eu an oi in/un i on
Now listen to Emilie again, pausing the video when she asks you to think of the numbers and colours that have that sound in. You have a go at writing the words under the right sound then start the video again to check your spelling. Please correct it if you make a mistake. Mistakes are fine! They help us to learn.
Key French sounds - C'est Emilie
Can you add any more words you know to each list? What about any day of the week? Some animals - un lapin? Some fruit – une poire?
Now we are going to learn how to describe where things are in a picture. Click on this link. Then click on lesson 15 with audio and work through the Powerpoint.
In your book, on a new page, put the learning objective:
Can I describe where things are?
Copy slide 8 adding the words in the correct place. See if you can get ‘au centre de’ in the centre of your picture rather than where they’ve put it!
We are working towards doing a piece of artwork then describing it. That’s why you’ll need these words. Merci beaucoup! A bientôt!
PE
Watch the clips below and follow the instructions on the cards.
Games Skills – Climb the ladder

Sumdog challenges
You have been set 3 challenges on Sumdog:
- A maths times table challenge (based on the 2, 4 and 8 times tables)
- A maths challenge to practise counting in multiples of 4, 5 and 8
- A spelling challenge based on this week’s new homophone spellings
Please make sure you log on and have a go! It is important that you practise these skills as they are invaluable in helping you to learn your number facts and multiplication and division facts. In addition, they will enable you to calculate accurately and at speed when working mentally.
Well done for finishing today’s work. Have a lovely evening and stay safe.
