Year 4 Home Learning 4.5.20
Hello again to all our Year 4 children, parents and carers!
We hope you are taking care, keeping busy and enjoying home learning.
From now on, to keep finding links simple, each week we will add a new page with the work focused for the week on whilst leaving the original home learning page still online for additional tasks to complete and keep busy with if you choose to.
It has been great to see some of the things our Year 4 children have been up to whilst learning from home. The pictures we have received have been uploaded on the 4H and 4P class pages. Please do keep sending in what you are all up to as I am sure your friends are as interested as we are!
As always, if you would like to ask us a question or chat about any tasks that have been set, please message us via the e-schools website and we will get back to you as soon as we can. The children also have their own account on this and are welcome to ask questions or simply let us know what they are up to and how they are getting on.
Below, we have outlined the tasks we have set for this week. More detailed information can be found further down this page. It is important to note that in addition to these tasks, we do expect that all children read every day, practice TT Rockstars as often as possible and most importantly, have some fun! We recognise that most of these tasks involve the use of technology. This is because in regards to Purple Mash and TT Rockstars, we can track the work that children have completed. In addition to this, we have tried to set children exciting tasks such as El Dorado and to cover a range of curriculum areas. If this is causing an issue, please get in touch and we will try our best to source the relevant paper copies for you.
Take care everyone. Don’t forget to send us your photos!
Miss Philip and Mr Hodges.
English / Reading
This week we are looking at chapter 3 of The Shifter.
Monday
Reading - read the chapter and identify any unfamiliar words. Can you work out what they mean using the sentence? Can you change some of the words for other synonyms?
English - This chapter has lots of conversation between characters. To do this, the author has used Invert commas " " to show who is speaking.
We have learnt about this in school on multiple occasions so I would like you to write your own conversation between two characters. You may want to follow the story of the shifter or make up two new characters completely. Remember to use Capital letters , ! ? . to punctuate accurately. Feel free to share them with us through e-schools or by emailing the office.
Tuesday
reading- read again and complete the quiz either online or in your workbooks.
English - Today I would like you to write some sentences using conjunctions (a word that links two ideas/clauses) . These can be silly ones (no context) or ones based on The Shifter. That is up to you.
In your sentences, try to use the conjunctions when after if since once until despite
To challenge yourself you could use more than one conjunction in a sentence.
Wednesday
Reading- Use the text to answer the open ended questions and sequence task.
English - I would like you to write 5/6 sentences using adverbs. An adverb tells you how a verb is carried out such as The boy jumped slowly. It adds detail so the reader can better understand how something has happened.
You can use the adverbs below or choose ones of your own.
rapidly angrily naughtily stupidly kindly beautifully
For a challenge, try to use the adverb at the front of the sentence. Think about the punctuation that it will need.
Thursday
Reading - I would like you to predict what you think will happen in the next chapter of the story. Write in full sentences and use what you know to explain why you think that.
English - complete the SPaG task for chapter 3
Friday
Complete the writing task on Purple Mash. This can be done online or in their books.
You should be using direct speech, conjunctions and adverbs as we have practised these in the past few days.
There are 2 spelling tasks on Purple Mash which can be completed online throughout the week at any point.
For further English work, they can choose a new text on Serial Mash and complete a chapter and the tasks a day or have a go at the El Dorado lessons. Alternatively, they may want to keep a diary about what is happening at the minute for future children to learn about life in lockdown. It could become a primary source for children in the future like the diaries we have read about WW2.
