Home Learning Wednesday 13th 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 and a big thank you to everyone at home who is helping you in any way. We are all doing our best and trying to be positive at this tricky time. Hopefully, by working together, we can help keep ourselves and each other 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.
You should have received an email inviting you to join your child’s account on Seesaw – please check your junk mail if you have not received this. Through Seesaw, you will be able to upload work which has been completed at home and I will be able to give feedback. You will only see your child’s work and all feedback given will be private to your account. I am looking forward to seeing the super learning which has been completed at home.
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 your favourite part of the story so far? Why do you like this part - is it exciting? Does it make you feel especially happy? Can you see the scene in your mind and if so, what does it look like?
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. Try and remember the word and colour you wrote it in yesterday and keep it the same – then you may link the word leisure with blue, enclosure with yellow, picture with green etc. Write the date in your Home Learning Book (Wednesday 13th January 2021) and have a go.

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 to 50. If you get stuck, partition the number.
eg Double 47 Double 40 (80) then double 7 (14) and add the two together (80 + 14 = 94)
