Year 4 Home learning for Thursday 30th April

Maths

If you found yesterday’s lesson tricky, it is well worth revising fractions on IXL. Y1 - Y7 revise recognising fractions.

Today’s lesson moves on to equivalent fractions. Watch carefully and do your best. Don’t Give up Sadie Spider. If you are finding it a little too hard, you could revise equivalent fractions from Year 3 here. Week 2 lesson 5 ‘Equivalent Fractions’ is good.

English

Today we will be reading a little more of the story and thinking about the characters. I have copied the task I want you to do underneath the video. This video is for today and tomorrow’s lesson so you will stop it when I say to complete your activity then return to it tomorrow.

Dear year 4

I am so delighted to see how hard you are trying at home. I know it is a very different situation from being in class but is so lovely to see so many of you adjusting to it - you are really into the swing of it now - those persuasive letters were FANTASTIC!!!!

I’m just busy writing your school reports at the moment which I am enjoying, but it makes me miss you a lot!

Keep it coming year 4 - keep trying your very hardest - YOU ARE THE MASTERS OF YOUR OWN LEARNING JOURNEY!

Day 3 - The Tummy Beast
Use the link below to listen to and enjoy The Tummy Beast from Dirty Beasts by Roald Dahl.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tinzhrgFILE

Watch the clip again, this time while following the text, accessible here:
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/51659/the-tummy-beast

If you are able to, print off the text from the link above. Highlight the lines spoken by the mother in one colour, and those spoken by the child in another.

Use this highlighting to help you read the text aloud together. Put on your best character voices to perform! Perhaps you could take on different roles in your family!

Discuss what is happening in the poem. Why do you think the mother doesn’t believe the child? How is the child feeling when the mother doesn’t believe them? What happened to the mother at the end? What do you think the mother might say when she recovers?

Write a diary entry as if you were the child or the mother, recounting the key events of the day. You could even pinch some key words and phrases used in the poem!
