Home Practice 18th June 2021
Well done for working so hard this week Year 4! In Maths, we revised mental strategies and formal written methods for addition, subtraction and multiplication! In English, we used dictionaries to find out the meaning of new words and then used them in sentences to show our understanding. We also used evidence from the text to sketch and label a picture of the playground and who was doing what in it! To extend our knowledge of Europe, we have been keeping a wall chart of results from the Euro 2020 matches and located the 11 host cities on a map. On Thursday afternoon we learnt about modelling with clay and made some amazing sea sculptures – please have a look in our gallery!
Remember to bring something in to make your musical instrument on Monday – please DO NOT make it at home as we will be doing this in school.
Keep up the good work Year 4 and thank you for a lovely week!
Reading
Please read for 20 minutes each evening to an adult at home. Make sure you discuss the story and the characters. Find the meaning of any new words too. Reading every night will help you read more fluently and with understanding.
Times tables
You have been given your own individual times table target. Please make sure you continue to practise your times tables in preparation for your test next week, on Wednesday (23rd June 2021). Ask someone at home to test you on your tables – can you recall them quickly and accurately?
You can also practise your tables playing ‘Hit the button’. Select the times tables or division button and then the table that you want to practise. This is an excellent way to practise your tables. Either type in ‘hit the button’ (the game is on Top Marks) or use the link below:
Spellings
The spellings this week all have the prefix ‘il’ or ‘im’. A prefix is a group of letters that are added to the beginning of a word, and change the meaning or make a new word. ‘Il’ and ‘im’ both mean not. Therefore, when they are added to the beginning of a word, they form words with the opposite meaning. For example illegal means not legal and impatient means not patient. The spellings are on Sumdog this week.
illegal illegible illiterate illogical illegally
improper imperfect improbable impatient immature
immobile immortal impractical impossible implausible
Sumdog Challenges
You have been set 3 challenges on Sumdog:
- A spelling challenge based on the spellings above
- A maths challenge finding fractions of amounts (unit and non-unit)
- A maths times table challenge (based on all the times tables)
Please make sure you log on and have a go!
