Home Learning Wednesday 27th January 2021
Good morning Year 4. I hope you are all safe and well, and have got yourselves into a routine with your Home Learning. Keep working hard and doing your best and make sure you thank anyone at home who helps you too. Thank you for posting your super learning on Seesaw, it is fantastic to see what you have been doing at home and some of your posts really bring a smile to my face.
Reading
Please read out loud to someone at home for 20 minutes. Make sure you discuss what has happened in the chapter / story so far.
Can you describe a setting in your book? Describe it in detail to someone else, or draw a picture of what it looks like.
Spelling
These are your new spellings which will be tested on Thursday 28th January 2021. They all have the prefix inter. A PREFIX is a group of letters that change the meaning of a word when they are added to the START. Inter means ‘amongst’ or ‘during’.
interact international intercity interlink
interview intermediate internet interface
intercept interchange intercom interfere
Write the long date Wednesday 27th January 2021
Use look, cover, write, check to practise your spellings. Write each word out three times using this strategy.
English
Last week we started our novel Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo.
Today, please re-read / listen again to Chapter 2 of Kensuke’s Kingdom. A copy of the book is attached to the blog and a link to the audio is below.

Then, please listen to the start of Chapter 3. A video / audio will be uploaded to Seesaw on Wednesday morning. If you wish to read the story instead, please read Chapter 3 up to the end of the October 11th log on pg 29, and no further.
Write the long date Wednesday 27th January 2021
Write the learning objective Can I plan an informal letter?
Tomorrow you are going to write a letter, as Michael, to your best friend Eddie. Today, you are going to plan the letter. You will need to use information from Chapter 2, as well as the first part of Chapter 3 (which you should have read or listened to).
An example of an informal letter (called Example informal letter) has been attached to the blog to help you recognise the features. You may want to print it out and underline or highlight the features. Informal letters are written to people we know well, like friends and family.
Use the planning sheet (called Letter planning sheet) attached to the blog to help you organise your letter into paragraphs. Either print the sheet off and fill it in, or write a plan straight into your Home Learning Book. Just make bullet points or notes to help you with your ideas as you will write full sentences in your letter tomorrow.
Please share your work on Seesaw
Times tables
Following on from last week’s learning, please practise your 11 and 12 times tables on Sumdog (a challenge has been set).
Please practise your own tables target using Hit the button. If you are on ‘free’ tables, please practise a times table or division fact which you know you find tricky. If you are in school next week, you will be tested on your individual target on Thursday 28th January 2021 – if you are on ‘free’ tables, you will be tested on ÷9.

Counting
Count in 50’s from 2850 to 3500 and back again. Count in 50’s from 40 to 890 and back again. Write the numbers down if this helps! Think about what you found tricky. What patterns did you notice?
Please count in 12’s from 12 to 144 and back again – can you go any further? (if you get stuck, add 10 then 2 onto your last number if counting up, or subtract 10 then 2 if counting down). Write the numbers down as you say them - do you notice any patterns?
Eg 12 24 36 36 + 10 = 46 + 2 = 48 60 etc
Maths
Use the link below – to play Daily 10.
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10
Repeat the addition games you played yesterday but choose a shorter time between the questions. For example, if you chose 10 seconds between each question yesterday, choose 7 seconds today etc.
Click on play game. Choose level 3, addition, 3 digit numbers + ones. Choose the time interval between each question eg 3 seconds, 5 seconds etc. You will need to write the answers down and check them at the end.
Choose level 3, addition, 3 digit numbers + tens, choose a time interval and play again.
This week, we are going to revise and learn new mental multiplication strategies.
- You need to be able to multiply accurately by 10 and 100 and understand what happens to the digits and why.
Please click on the video below and watch the explanation carefully.

Write the short date 27.01.21
Write the learning objective Can I accurately multiply by 10 and 100?
Complete the maths sheet attached to the blog called ‘Multiply by 10 and 100’. If you find this tricky, draw a place value grid like Amber did in the video and use this to help you work out the answers.
Once you have completed your sheet check your answers which are attached to the blog.
- For this lesson, you will be sent a video in the morning (through Seesaw). It explains how to use related facts to multiply multiples of 10 and 100 (for example numbers like 30, 60, 200, 800 etc).
Use the strategy from the video to answer the questions on the sheet attached to the blog called ‘Related facts’.
Write the short date 27.01.21
Write the learning objective Can I use related facts to multiply a multiple of 10 or 100?
PLEASE DRAW THE TRIANGLES EACH TIME TO HELP WITH YOUR WORKING OUT AND TO SHOW YOUR UNDERSTANDING. An example is given on the work sheet.
Once you have completed your sheet check your answers which are attached to the blog.
Please upload your work to seesaw.
Please remember to log onto Sumdog to consolidate your learning about arrays.
