Year 4 Home Learning Timetable - Week beg. 18.5.20Weekly focus: SPAG & Statistics

Layout guidance:Our vision for the home learning layout is that resources for lessons will be clearly labelled underneath the planning for each day. Where some resources are unable to be placed in this document, you will have to open another document. There is no obligation to print the planning but please feel free if that helps you. Maths resources will be in a separate document and the answer sheet will also be separate from this so that the children cannot see. If the planning says ‘see below’ then the resource will be on this document. If the planning says ‘see attached document’, please refer to the correct document for that subject.

Message from Y4 teachers:We hope that learning at home is an enjoyable experience. It is important that we remind you to simply try your best. If you are finding something particularly difficult, move on and come back to it if you have time. If you find something is taking ‘too long’ or you are ready to move on, then please do so. We understand it might be quite difficult to understand something when you are not in a classroom with many more resources to help you and so all we can ask is that you try your best because that is good enough.

Parents: If you are looking for extra activities, we would like to direct you to the school’s website where there is a host of websites and resources.

A suggested afternoon activities table can also be found at the end of this document. This is a page that has been carefully put together by the Year 4 team that links with our topics to provide extra learning opportunities.

A reminder of our Year 4 non-negotiables: Capital letters and full stops. Commas after fronted adverbials. Neat and cursive handwriting. Conjunctions Commas after subordinate clauses. Correctly spelt common exception words Use of paragraphs Proof-read for errors in spelling and punctuation.

STEM Challenge!

Answer from last week: 256

Louise is thinking of a 4 digit number. The number lies between 4,000 and 5,000. All the digits are different. The digit in the tens place is twice the digit in the thousands place. The sum of the digits is 24. The number is odd. What could the number be?
