Year 4 Home Practice 18th September 2020

Date: 16th Sep 2020 @ 8:09pm

We have had another fantastic week in Year 4! Here are just a few snippets of what we have been learning.

In English we have read ‘How the Fox Came to be Where it is’ and ‘How the Polar Bear Became’ – our writing has been based on these 2 stories.  We especially enjoyed learning about the clever but cunning fox and how he outwitted other animals!  In Maths we have revised place value and been using Base 10 and numerical counters to help when adding and subtracting 1, 10, 100 and 1000.  In addition, we have been revising rounding numbers to 10. We have continued our RE topic of Families and learnt more about Jesus’ human family and his descendants.  We have also been learning how to insert, rotate, re-colour and re-size shapes using Publisher. What a busy week Year 4 – well done!

Reading

Please read for 20 minutes each evening to an adult at home.  Make sure you understand what you are reading and find out the meaning of any new words.  Someone at home could ask you some questions about what you have read and you could tell them what has happened so far in the story.

Times tables

You have been given your own individual times table target.  Please make sure you continue to practise your times tables in preparation for your test next Thursday (24^th September 2020).  Ask someone at home to test you on your tables – can you recall them quickly and accurately?

Spellings

The spelling rule this week is the ‘ee’ sound spelt ‘ey’. Please practise your spellings each evening at home.  You will be tested on them next Thursday (24^th September 2020).  We have discussed in class different strategies you could use to help you learn them and you can always use ‘Look say cover write check’.  Your spellings are:
