Tuesday's English & Maths

Maths

Tuesday

Watch this video on adding fractions with a common denominator (something we did in class a couple of weeks ago):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=mO53rHEIQr4&feature=emb_logo

Then try this Kahoot quiz:

https://create.kahoot.it/share/adding-fractions-with-common-denominators/a43ee0b7-557c-44a6-93e2-e525dcec42af

Now try this work that would have been your homework and has been sat on top of the books for the last 10 days!

I have attached a picture of it but don’t feel like you have to print it out. You can just answer the questions in your red home learning books!

Try to remember:

1) Simplify the fractions where possible e.g. instead of 2/8 writing 1/4

2) Convert improper fractions into mixed numbers 9/2 = 4½

Friday, or in Miss. Hall's words, "FRIYAY!"

Nearly the weekend Owls. My son is begging to go back to school so I guess he can only sympathise with how you all feel during class!

Good luck with the English and Maths!

Please remember that the English task might take you Friday through until Monday. I will come up with an e-mail that you can take pictures or send your leaflets too.

Maths - today is X Tables day. Remember as Mr. King said you may still have to do the Multiplication Test Check in Year 5 so keep practising! :D

Thursday's Work - English and Maths

Hello Owls,

I hope you have enjoyed your first few days of home learning. I have never walked to much in my life. One of the advantages of living in the countryside is we have so much unexplored wilderness right on our doorstep. On Tuesday, my family and I walked all the way to Bignor Roman Villa - remember that trip back in Autumn Term? What fun!

Anyway, enjoy the work and keep positive! :)

Maths

3 consecutive numbers which add to make 30 = 9 + 10 + 11

I think of a number that is less than 20. I can make it from 2, 3 and 5 consecutive numbers:

The number is 15

2 numbers to make 15 = 7 + 8

3 numbers to make 15 = 4 + 5 + 6

5 numbers to make 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5

Tuesday’s Work

Remember if you find this too challenging or too straightforward you can always look on the blogs of other classes.

English

Try this SPaG work - revision of Y3 skills mostly. Also remember there are weekly spellings: This week’s 5 spellings: the ‘u’ sound spelt ‘ou’ young, touch, double, trouble, country

Have a test on Thursday like normal!

As we do in spelling sessions: use them in sentences, draw them, write them, look them up!

Have a go at this. It's all about representing fractions differently:

Home Learning

Dear Year 4, I know this is a strange time but we will get through it. I'll still be here to ask questions to and chat to. I will keep you updated each day with the sort of work we would be doing in class. I will try to make it as fun as possible without requiring loads of equipment. Take care of yourselves and your families. I shall miss seeing you all each day. Smile and be kind. We will all be together again!

I will be setting work, daily where possible, on here and where possible on Google Classroom (for those of you who can access it in our group trial - once we’ve ironed out the creases we will ensure everyone has access to it).

Have fun and take care,

Mr. Ind

Buzzwire Games

In Science, on Wednesday afternoon we all collaborated and created buzz wire games in order to show off our knowledge and understanding of electricity. There was lots of good science on show, including lots of good vocabulary like conductor, insulator, component, circuit, symbol. A fantastic end to a truly shocking topic (sorry!). Well done Owl Class. :)

World Book Day Fun!

What an amazing day we had! Year 4 had such fun building their dens and then sharing and reading books in them. We were also joined by our friends from Year 1 who joined in. I even had some curious Squirrels attempting to storm into my own den! Thankfully my mini cakes were well hidden. What a lovely day sharing our love of books and reading.

You'll really DIG this...

On Tuesday afternoon, we did a spot of excavation in a hunt for Anglo-Saxon artefacts. After learning about the Sutton Hoo find we carried out our own archaeological dig in the Environmental Area. We discovered bones, a skull, some charm bracelets and ceramic items more likely to date from the Roman Era (hence the Waitrose trademark!).

Oh how charming!

This week in DT we have been designing, creating and evaluating Anglo-Saxon charm bracelets and necklaces. We used a variety of tools to help us and included various wooden beads, minerals and glass in many different designs. Some of us even included runes on them - fancy!

Library Time and Drama in English

We have really enjoyed library time over the last few weeks - many children being completely engrossed in their books - it’s great to see! We also did a little acting and drama during English this week. Acting out important elements of Chapter 6 in the Thief Lord through the use of freeze frames. Here are just a selection of some really funny photos!

Shocking! Year 4 ELECTRICITY

We have just started a new unit of science, based on electricity. This week we created circuits and then drew them. We also did an experiment to test the conductivity of different classroom items - some of us were amazed that the pencil lead (which is graphite) was a conductor of electricity!

Great science and recording in tables.
