Year 4
Home Practice 25th June 2021
Another busy week in Year 4! The whole school took part in World Music Day outside - it was great fun and we all played a musical instrument as we sang ‘Celebrate’. In addition, as a cross curricular activity, we made our own musical instruments. We planned and designed our instruments, played them and then evaluated them to consider what we were most proud of and what we would change if we were to make them again. This developed our design and technology learning as well as our Science learning about ‘sound’. On Wednesday, we had a ‘Mindfulness’ session during which we learnt some techniques for relaxing and breathing when we are feeling anxious, happy, excited or even angry. We also had a Zoom chat with an audiologist on Friday morning which was very interesting and helped us understand more about ‘sound’ and how we hear!
Please bring in a ‘string telephone’ next Thursday for our Science lesson. You were given an instruction sheet on Friday 25th June 2021.
Keep up the good work Year 4!
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 (30th 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 ‘in’ or ‘ir’. 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. ‘In’ and ‘ir’ 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.
inaccurate incomplete inactive incorrect inconvenient
inexpensive inefficient inedible irregular irresponsible
irrelevant irreversible irresistible irrational irreplaceable
Sumdog Challenges
You have been set 3 challenges on Sumdog:
- A spelling challenge based on the spellings above
