Hello Year 4, we hope you are all doing well at home! Below is your home learning for today. 

MATHS

  1. Times Tables Rockstars – there is a challenge for Year 3 and Year 4 currently on! I wonder which class will win? If you can’t access Times Tables Rockstars but would really like to practise your times tables to improve your speed and accuracy, this is a great website: https://www.timestables.co.uk/multiplication-tables-check/
  2. L/O: To understand the links between place value and multiplication. Please complete the Oak Academy lesson here: https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/linking-place-value-and-multiplication-c4vpct 

This shows the link between place value and multiplication, which we will be exploring in our lessons next week.

ENGLISH

1. Practise your spellings on your homework sheet

2. L/O: To use prefixes correctly in my writing. Complete the activities on BBC bitesize, looking at prefixes and how to use them. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zqqsw6f/articles/z2gnm39#z7qqh4j

FRENCH

L/O: To learn some of the body parts in French. Have a go at learning ‘head, shoulders, knees and toes’ in French! When we come back, we will sing it together!

OTHER PROJECTS

Fancy a bonus project? How about these: 

- From your homework sheet: A project about a musician you love. They can be from any point in history and don't need to be famous, just someone YOU like listening to. 

-Creative writing: Write us a story! It can be about anything you like. Try to entertain us with your brilliant words and ideas.

-Enjoy sport? Choose up to 3 types of sports equipment we have in school (for example bibs, cones and netballs) and create a PE lesson or new game using ONLY that equipment! Some ideas for equipment: footballs/netballs/basketballs, hoops, bibs, cones, speed bounce, beanbags, hockey sticks, tennis balls... there are many others if you think carefully!

PS: Don't forget to enjoy a good book and have a read!

If you have any other questions or queries please email us at Year4@kingsnorth.kent.sch.uk

MATHS

We have been set another EMILE challenge! This is the times table challenge that we did earlier in the year, competing against all schools in our Academy, AQUILA. It is ONLY for today so please see if you can help us win by going to:

https://emile-education.com/ and logging in. You will then need to go to 'Events' to find the right place. 

Your login is the same as last time. It should be in or on your reading log to remind you. If you're stuck, ask a parent to email year4@kingsnorth.kent.sch.uk and we will let them know what your login is. 

GOOD LUCK! 

ENGLISH

VARJAK PAW: THE MOVIE

Imagine what it would be like if there was a film version of Varjak Paw (awesome, of course)! For your English learning, see if you can create one or more of the following:

- A poster to advertise the film

- A blurb about the film

- A scene for the film, using the correct features of script writing. They are here if you can't remember them: https://www.theschoolrun.com/what-play-script 

SCIENCE

Create an informative leaflet to describe the 3 states of matter. You can do this on a computer or on paper. Try to include the vocabulary we have learnt so far, e.g. solid, liquid, gas, water vapour, boiling point, melting point, particles, room temperature, cooling, heating. 

You can add diagrams and pictures as well as definitions of the key vocabulary!

READING Remember to read!

 

P.E:

Our PE will be every Friday

For PE sessions, please can your child come to school in their uniform, with their PE kit in a named bag. Please could they remove any earrings on the morning of their PE session. Block week: Hockey - Children will need shin pads and mouth guard. Please ensure they are in appropriate clothing for outside lesson. 

Maths:

This term we will be focusing on Multiplication and division. We would be grateful if you could please continue to practise timestables with your child on Times Tables Rockstars and www.mathsframe.co.uk at least 3 times a week to help with fluency. To help with the Year 4 multiplication check, please remember to also use  https://www.timestables.co.uk and also https://www.timestables.co.uk/multiplication-tables-check/. This gives the children a set of 25 questions with a time limit of 6 seconds to answer each question:

We also recommend you use https://classroom.thenational.academy/subjects-by-year/year-4/subjects/maths to help embed and to stretch learning that takes place in the classroom.

English:

The skills we will be practising are writing predictions and writing in a role. We will be using the book Varjak Paw - S F Said to help build these skills. 

Homework expectations 

We expect the children to be reading at home 3 x a week and recording this in their reading log books; practising weekly spellings; visiting https://www.timestables.co.uk 3 x per week and looking over any work that needs completing, sent home by the class teacher.

The times-table website gives a 5 step way of learning the times-table, giving the children the opportunity to read them in order, say them out of order, time themselves and then access free worksheets/games that you can print out. They focus on one times table at a time when they can practise these on TT Check.co.uk. 

Multiplication Tables Check - Timestables.co.uk

Spelling Shed

We are also using Spelling Shed https://www.edshed.com/ for spelling practice. Instead of giving your child a set of spellings to learn each week, we will ask them to complete assignments around a spelling rule that we are learning in school, and then they will be tested on words that contain this rule every Friday. They also have the opportunity to be top of the school leader board! Please concentrate on making sure your children know the spelling from year 2 and the year 3/4 spelling list.  Children need to be accessing the Spelling Shed website.  If you have forgotten your username and password, please contact your class teacher.
