Year 4 – Term 6

Please remember to watch any YouTube clips with an adult.

Each day you will have a Maths and English starter activity to complete. This

can be done on a whiteboard or on paper. These do not need to be submitted,

however if you would like to share your home learning with your class teacher

then please send it as one weekly document. There will also be an online daily

Maths Lesson and a weekly English Challenge activity set for your child to

complete across the week. Additionally, there will one challenge each week for

another area of the curriculum.

The answers to the Maths & English starters are at the end of this document.

Title: Year 4 Memories

Your project is to produce a piece of work about your time in

Year 4; it can be presented in a number of different ways as

detailed below. Despite the unusual end to Year 4, what great

memories do you have of the year?

Possible project ideas:

Online Daily Maths Lessons – Instructions Each daily lesson has a 10 minute video to explain the mathematical concept followed by a worksheet to complete. These lessons will cover the areas your child would have been taught since Easter if we had operated as normal. Therefore this should help reduce any gaps in their learning for the remainder of this academic year.

English Challenge Overview This term’s English learning will be presented slightly differently. Similar to last term, there will be a challenge to complete but it will be broken up into five separate tasks to help you achieve the overall challenge. You could then complete one smaller task a day. There will also be an English starter activity to begin each English lesson. Week 7 - Poetry This term we are using the fantastic book Wolves by Emily Garrett. (You can find a version of this on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9taIhqvyul4 Although this is a picture book, it has a great deal of humour and is full of hidden gems. Each day you will complete a task which builds up to a longer piece on the Friday. We look forward to reading your poems at the end of the week.

For example when the poet mentions ‘symmetry’ what do you think he is referring to?
