SPELLING - Sticky Words Strategies

1. In top left quadrant, TRACE the WORD

2. In top right quadrant, COPY the word

3. Hide both top quadrants with a ruler, rubber or your hand. In bottom left quadrant, WRITE the word from MEMORY. Check it.

4. In bottom right - have another turn at writing and checking.

5. Watch the video to show this in action!

MATHS

1. Go on TT rockstars in the garage.

2. Practice quick recall of these subtraction facts, in readiness for column subtraction next week. Sometimes the most effective strategy for subtraction is to work out the difference. So for example, 15 - 8 = Could be thought of as ‘What do I add to 8 to make 15? ? +8 = 15

   a) 15 - 8 =

   b) 11 - 9 =

   c) 12 - 6 =

   d) 13 - 8 =

   e) 18 - 9 =

   f) 16 - 7 =

   g) 12 - 8 =

   h) 14 - 7 =

   i) 15 - 6 =

Year 4 homework to be handed in on Thursday 25th September

In Year 4, homework is given out on Friday and needs to be in for the following Thursday.

SPELLING

This week, we will rehearse these words that we are sometimes spelling incorrectly. CAN YOU SPOT IN EACH WORD THAT REALLY IT IS MADE OUT OF TWO WORDS?.

Make a poster of these 8 words in your homework book. Use colours to write the two parts of the word out. So for example for everybody - every may be in blue and body in red.

TOP TIP! Make sure you spell every correctly each time - a common mistake is to spell it evry! Some people spell any as eny! Don’t fall into the trap!

everyone everywhere everything everybody anyone anywhere anything anybody

MATHS

1. Go on TT rockstars in the garage.

2. This week, we have practiced writing COLUMN ADDITION on squared paper. Children have learned how to set these out correctly and space them. They have learned how to regroup in the tens and the ones when needed.

   Children, please complete the following calculations as column addition on the squared paper I have provided. Only write one number in every square and use a nice, sharp pencil so you can rub out if needed.

   a) 234 + 43=

   b) 363 + 105=

   c) 437 +228=

   d) 53 +83=

   e) 71 +94=

   f) 384 + 181=

   g) 193 + 316=

   h) 549 + 271 =

   i) 628 + 76 =

   (Children should now be able to recall calculations like 9+6 and 7+8 automatically now as they are solving the column additions. Parents, if you notice children struggling with these calculations that bridge over ten, please practise these on journeys whenever possible - in car, to the shops etc Rather than trying to add on fingers, encourage your child to use what they know already:)

   For example 7+8 we know 7+7=14 so 7+8 must be one more

   9+6 would be 9+1 to make ten then add 5 left to make 15

   5+8 think 5+5+3

Year 4 homework for over the half term holidays

No formal homework as such over the holidays but it would be really good if you could focus on your times tables and read a good book ready to quiz when you return

I have handed out some times tables tests that we do in class where you could ask someone to time you and then mark them together (as we do in class)

I will not be collecting these in to mark - it is for you to use them to help you. You also have the songs below if there are still some you are shaky on. Of course, you can work on TTrockstars to increase your rock star status and will set you some ‘Beat the teacher’ challenges on Rockslam.

Year 4 homework to be completed over the Easter holidays

Maths

You have a small maths sheet to complete on column addition and subtraction - YOU WILL NOT HAVE YOUR HOMEWORK BOOKS - they are in class.

Going for Gold!

Over the holidays, it is my greatest wish that we turn our heatmaps green if we have not already done so.

We have learned all common multiplication facts and so many of you know them instantly. One thing that has really helped us to learn them is the times tables songs we have learned along the way. We decided as a class to collate these into a video so you can practise our songs at home - especially those of you still struggling to remember those key facts.

Everybody - please practise your TT rockstars every day over Easter - and practise singing along to these songs with your class friends to help the times tables sink in.
