Read your book for 20 minutes. Write a short summary of what you have read. Can you use fronted adverbials to link your ideas altogether? |
Identifying Prepositions
If you are unable to access this lesson, recap prepositions (under, on top, next to) and create exciting sentences using them.
' The huge, colourful hot air balloon flew over the peaceful town'. |
Lesson 1: Make a whole
If you are unable to access the lessons, using a part whole model, how many different ways can you think of to create one whole.
Using the examples you created, how many number sentences can you create?
0.1 + 0.9 = 1 whole |

Day 2 |
Read out loud to yourself or someone at home for 20 minutes.
Challenge: What question would you ask a character from the book? |
Apostrophes for Contractions
If you are unable to access the lesson, create as many contractions as possible using an apostrophe. What are the rules for contractions?
E.g. could not = can't |
Lesson 2: Write Decimals
If you are unable to access the lesson, create a place value grid for ones, tenths and hundredths. How many different decimals can you represent with stem sentences:
e.g. The decimal represented is 1.25. There is 1 whole. There are 2 tenths. There are 5 hundredths.
What is the biggest decimal you can create? What is the smallest decimal number you can make? |
|
Day 3 |
Complete the reading activity on the poem 'Excuses'.

Apostrophes for Possession
If you are unable to access this link, choose a singular noun (one person) and show possession using an apostrophe.
E.g. Miss Imane's fluffy pink pen.
Then have a go at using apostrophes for plural possession (more than one person owns it).
E.g. the ducks' pond was glistening.
Can you think of any exceptions? |
Lesson 3: Compare Decimals

Lesson 4: Order Decimals
https://whiterosemaths.com/ homelearning/year-4/
If you are unable to access the lesson, create 10 three-digit decimal numbers. Draw a line and then place them in ascending order on the number line.

RE |
Hi Year 4, This term in RE we are looking at Places of Worship. How many different places of worship can you name? Make a list. If you are able, choose one place of worship (maybe it’s somewhere that you go with your family) and do a bit of research to find out about it. You could record your findings as a small poster. Happy researching! Mrs Westall |

Music |
Hi Year 4, This week for Music, I would like you to experiment in the Google Rhythm Lab and have a go at creating your own drum patterns! Make sure to try all of the different drum kits by scrolling along to the right. Can you see how many beats are in each bar? https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Rhythm/ Mr Owen |

ICT |
Hi Year 4, This week, we are going to use digimaps again to have a look at somewhere you would like to go. Think of somewhere you would like to go when we are allowed to go places again. It could be really far away, or even really close to you, for example, your friend's house (for somewhere close) or Mallorca (for a far off holiday). Find that place using digimaps. Once you have found that place on the map, have a look at what you can see there. Find at least 5 things you can tell from looking at the map. For example: is it near the coast? Is there a post office (PO)? Are there lots of buildings or is it a fairly open place? Make a list. How is it similar or different to where you live? If the map allows, see if you can tell how much it has changed from the past up until now. Have fun! Mrs Fraser |
