Home Learning Wednesday 3rd March 2021
Good morning Year 4. I hope you had a lovely Tuesday! Remember, tomorrow is World Book Day – join in the fun by dressing up as a book character. Upload a photo of your outfit to Seesaw and a message explaining why your favourite book is your favourite. There is a £10 book voucher for the best message we receive!
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 tell someone about the main characters in your book and explain a little bit about them, for example, what is their name? Are they a good or a bad character? How do you know? What do they wear? What are their likes and dislikes?
Spelling
These are your new spellings which will be tested on Tuesday 9th March 2021. They are all from the Year 3 / 4 Spelling list – a list of words which children should be able to read and spell by the time they leave Year 4. There are some quite tricky words, so please practise them carefully.
The words are:
mention probably therefore build disappear guide
natural recent though although busy business
Write the long date Wednesday 3rd March 2021
Copy the words carefully into your book. Using a coloured pen or pencil draw a circle around the parts of the word you find tricky. Do this 2 more times to try and help learn these tricky words.
A spelling challenge has also been set on Sumdog.
Handwriting
A video will be uploaded on Wednesday morning. Watch the video and then practise your handwriting in your Home Learning book.
Write the long date Wednesday 3rd March 2021
Write the title Handwriting
English
Today, please read or listen to Chapter 9 of Kensuke’s Kingdom. A copy of the book is attached to the blog or you can listen to Chapter 9 by clicking here.
Open the document called ‘English tasks’ which is attached to the blog. You may either print this sheet out, or complete the writing straight into your Home Learning Book. There are 2 short tasks today. All the instructions for the tasks are explained in this document.
Please share your work on Seesaw
Times tables
A times tables challenge has been set on Sumdog. This is to consolidate and practise your 11 and 12 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 March 2021 – if you are on ‘free’ tables, you will be tested on a mixture of 4 and 8 times tables.
Counting
Count in 100’s from 750 to 2150 and back again. Count in 100’s from 108 to 1508 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 1000’s from 0 to 10 000 and back again – can you go any further? Write the numbers down as you say them - do you notice any patterns?
Now count in 1000’s from 500 to 9500 and back again – can you go any further? Write the numbers down as you say them – what do you notice now?
What is the relationship between 100 and 1000? Can you see any patterns in the numbers you have written down?
Maths
Click here to play Daily 10.
Click on play game. Choose Level 3 and Division. Depending on how confident you feel, choose a table from the ‘Up to 12’ or ‘Mixed tables’ column. Choose your time interval and have a go. Once you have played once, repeat the game and see if you can improve on your previous score.
When we all return to school next week we will be learning more about mental and written division (chunking). In preparation for this, it is important that you are confident with the basics of grouping and sharing. Therefore, today and tomorrow we will be recapping some of these basics. It is CRUCIAL that you learn your tables (and division facts) off by heart so that you are able to use them accurately and at speed. Please take 10 minutes each day to practise your tables / division facts - this could be your tables target, tables you should know, or those you find tricky. If you do this, you will be amazed at how your confidence will grow in a short space of time.
Write the short date 03.03.21
Write the learning objective Can I practise sharing?
Watch today’s teaching video here.
Open the worksheet attached to the blog called ‘Sharing’.
Complete the worksheet / answer the questions in your Home Learning Book.
Using jottings (eg sticks for base 10 10’s and dots for base 10 units or ones), show 60 ÷ 3 and 60 ÷ 5
Now have a go at 48 ÷ 2 and 48 ÷ 4.
French
Please write the date in French: mardi deux mars and the learning objective:
Can I describe Matisse’s pictures using shape and colour words?
Today we are going to look at some of Matisse’s art works and use the shape language we’ve learnt over the last few weeks to describe them.
Download the PowerPoint attached to the blog called ‘Describing Matisse’. It asks ‘Qu’est-ce qu’il y a dans le tableau?’ What’s in the picture? Work your way through listening to the audio and repeating the sentences. Can you say some of your own descriptive sentences?
When you reach slide 9, write these sentences into your book. Then look at slide 8 again and write the number of any pictures that the sentence applies to.
Check your answers using slide 10.
Here’s a song to finish. How many words that you recognise can you hear? You could slow down the playback speed to make it easier.

- A maths challenge all about whole numbers upto 10 000
- A spelling challenge based on the new Year 3 /4 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.
A new spelling challenge will start tomorrow.
