Home Learning Wednesday 3rd February 2021
Good morning Year 4. I hope you had a good day yesterday and enjoyed your home learning. Remember it is important to keep working hard, recapping and practising previous learning, as well as learning new things. Keep positive and keep working your socks off Year 4!
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 choose some ambitious vocabulary from the story which you could use in your own writing? Write 5 of these words down and write a definition for each of them.
Spelling
These are your spellings which will be tested on Monday 8th February 2021. They are all homophones. Homophones are words which sound the same but are spelt differently.
tide tied knight night break brake fought fort
waist waste guest guessed feet feat
Write the long date Wednesday 3rd February 2021
Practise each of the words using look, cover, write, check.
Then, choosing the words you didn’t use yesterday, write your own sentences using the words correctly.
For example, tide and tied
The tide came in too fast and stranded the children on the island.
We tied the boat securely to the pier.

Once you have re-read the chapter:
Read the extract attached to the blog called ‘Chapter 4 extract’. If you wish, print out the sheet.

Write the learning objective Can I identify effective words and phrases in a text?
Answer the questions in your book and / or underline on the sheet where appropriate.

Please share your work on Seesaw
Times tables
A times tables challenge has been set on Sumdog. This is to consolidate and practise your 3, 6 and 9 times tables.
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 this week, you will be tested on your individual target on Thursday 4th February 2021 – if you are on ‘free’ tables, you will be tested on ÷11.

Counting
Count in 25’s from 100 to 400 and back again. Count in 25’s from 900 to 1200 and back again. Think about what you found tricky? Write the numbers down as you say them – what do you notice? Repeat this a couple of times. How many 25’s are there in 100?
Please count in 9’s from 0 to 108 and back again – can you go any further? (if you get stuck, add 10 then subtract 1 from your last number if counting up, or subtract 10 then add 1 back on if counting down). Write the numbers down as you say them - do you notice any patterns?
Eg 9 18 27 27 + 10 = 37 – 1 = 36 45 etc
Maths
Use the link below – to play Daily 10.
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10
Click on play game. Choose level 3, Doubles/halves, Upto 500. 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.
Remember make jottings to help yourself
Eg double 128 Partition into 100 20 8
Double 100 = 200 Double 20 = 40 Double 8 = 16
200 + 40 + 16 = 256
Repeat this game a couple of times and see if you can calculate more quickly and accurately each time.
Today, we are going to learn different ways to multiply efficiently. This means looking at the numbers in the calculation and using the most appropriate method to find the answer.
Please open the maths worksheet called ‘Efficient multiplication’.
Please click on the link below for the video
Write the short date 03.02.21
Write the learning objective Can I use efficient multiplication strategies?
Complete the worksheet and stick it in your book or write the answers directly into your Home Learning book.
Check your answers in the document ‘Answers Efficient multiplication’.

The theme for our learning this week is la Fête de Chandeleur – the feast of Candelmas on the 2nd February.
