Friday 5^th June Update

 Good Morning, my lovely Year 4,

It is the end of another week, I hope you have enjoyed going back to learning this week and have had some fun!

I have changed the home learning slightly and given you some more options of things to choose. English is as normal and you will have the choice between the three options. I have now also set a grammar challenge for you to try. Maths you will now have two links from White Rose and National Oaks. The White Rose Maths will be recapping some ideas that we looked at before the lockdown began and National Oaks is some learning linked to Solving Measures and Money Problems.

For Afternoon challenges, you will now have some set learning which are linked below in the separate buttons. I will also make a small afternoon activity mat with some other ideas. The individual work I have set for this week is for Geography, Computing and Science. I will then also upload a smaller Afternoon Activity map if you wanted some other challenges.

I will then be setting some activities on Sum Dog, Diagnostic Questions and Rising Stars on Sunday night for you to try during the week. 

Varjak Paw: Below is a link to the chapter readings of Varjak Paw. The whole book is now live on this YouTube account for you to read daily if you wish. He has also made a booklet that runs along with the reading, if you would like this please email me. I hope you enjoy!

I hope you have a lovely weekend and are able to get outside!

Remember to always smile, enjoy the time with your family and have fun!

Stay Safe,

Miss Smith

Grammar:

I will be linking below some information for Grammar that you may also want to try out from BBC Bitesize, This week the focus is: Recapping Apostrophes for Contraction.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z7hxhbk

Next week the focus will be using apostrophes to show possession.

Maths: 

White Rose Maths has now begun to recap some of the learning we did just before lockdown. The lessons for these will be saved on the school page much like this week. We will be beginning Summer Term week 5, see below.

In a few weeks they will also be repeating learning we have already looked at so we will be working with some learning from National Oak Academy. I do not want you to be going over White Rose Learning that we have already completed earlier in the lockdown.

However, I have also linked below some learning from a new Maths site, National Oak Academy. Theme for this week is: Solving Measures and Money Problems. You should scroll down to this Topic and then begin Lesson 1. It will have quizzes and activities involved in this for you.

Afternoons: I am going to slightly change the afternoon learning from now on. I will still make an afternoon activity map with some activities for you. However, I will also be setting work now for the foundation subjects which I have linked down below within the learning buttons. For Example, if you click on the science button, it has a link to a bitesize daily learning challenge with videos etc. This week your set work is for Science, Geography and Computing.

See below for this week’s Afternoon Activity map as well.

Other Information: 

I will also be uploading questions onto Diagnostic Questions, Rising Stars and Sum Dog Sunday evening which you may want to look at throughout the week.

Below is a class email for you to use to send me what you’re doing at home or to ask me any questions. I look forward to hearing from you all even if it just a short email telling me about your day. I will be around on the email for whatever you need just like if we were in class. Please share this with other parents who may not use the school website as often.
