What do teddy bears like to eat? Do you know what Winnie the Pooh likes to eat? Can you remember what Paddington likes to eat? You might like to include some of these in your picnic, but don’t forget to include your favourites too! You might need to look at some recipes.

Reading

Continue reading and quizzing on books using the Accelerated Reading and Epic Reading resources. Help can be found in the ‘How to help your child’ section of my page if you need it.

Remember, you should be reading for at least half an hour each day. Also try to read both a range of fiction and non-fiction books.

English

Day 3:

Read and enjoy the opening extract from ‘The Day the Crayons Came Home’ by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers by clicking the front cover below:

You can listen and enjoy the whole book here:

Imagine you are another item in Duncan’s pencil case, e.g. a ruler, pencil sharpener, highlighter pen, biro. Write a postcard to Duncan to add to the collection sent to him.

Think about: What job did you originally have in the pencil case? Did you enjoy your job? Might you have any memorable stories to remind Duncan of? What has happened to you since you were last with Duncan? E.g. Have you been travelling to any exciting places? What might you like to ask Duncan now?

As if you are the ruler, pencil sharpener, highlighter etc. write your postcard to Duncan.

Rehearse each sentence out loud before you write to check it makes sense. Keep reading your work as you write to check for spelling and punctuation too.

If you can, send your finished postcard to me! I could then end up with a class set of postcards from various pencil case items! I can’t wait!

Day 2:

Watch and listen to ‘Here We Are’ by clicking the front cover below: (please note, this version contains some American spellings)

Talk about the book. Ask your child: Who do you think Oliver Jeffers wrote this book for? Why do you think he wrote the book? (He wrote it for his baby son to help him make sense of the world).

It is full of key advice. Listen to the clip again and pause at key points to make a note of the advice Oliver Jeffers gives throughout the book, e.g. You have a body. Look after it, as most bits don’t grow back. Some pieces of advice are given to you; others you will have to read between the lines and discuss! Do you agree with the advice he gives? Can you think of any other advice you would like to add?

Create a poster with the book title: Here We Are in the middle. Around the outside in boxes or bubbles, write down the advice that Oliver Jeffers gives.

Colour and decorate your poster to make it as attractive as possible. Display your poster in your house – somewhere where everyone can see!

Year 4 Home learning for Tuesday 23rd June

English

Welcome to your first Viking myth. It would be really good if you could read it aloud to a grown up. You need to read up to and including page 9 then answer the first sheet of questions.

WE ARE FOCUSING ON INFERRING CHARACTERS’ THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS in this comprehension

Then continue to read the rest and answer the second sheet.

I have included the answers so you can self-mark. Your answer might not be in exactly the same words as mine. Use your best judgement to see if you are saying the same/similar thing but in different words!

Maths

Today I have done you a revision video of all the things you have learned about decimals. I want you to have your maths book in front of you and take part in all the guided practice screens I do with you.

It is a bit long - so you may want to do half then have a little break. But you must focus and follow the progression.

Then you have a nice bit of Art.

Welcome to a new week of learning. Have a super day!

Reading

Continue reading and quizzing on books using the Accelerated Reading and Epic Reading resources. Help can be found in the ‘How to help your child’ section of my page if you need it.

Remember, you should be reading for at least half an hour each day. Also try to read both a range of fiction and non-fiction books.

Complete the comprehension below for chapter 2 of The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark - ‘Dark is kind’

English

This week you will have the opportunity to enjoy some of Oliver Jeffers’ most entertaining and thought-provoking books. You’ll even be able to have a go at writing your own in a similar style!

Day 1:

Watch and listen to the story ‘How to Catch a Star’ up to 3:40 mins by clicking the front cover below:

Talk about what has happened so far in the story. Can you recall all the different attempts the boy has tried to catch a star? Can you remember why each one hasn’t worked? Look back/listen again to check.

Imagine you are the boy in the story. Your task is to write a letter to an astronomer (someone who studies stars and space) asking them for help to catch a star.

Include all the things you have tried so far and why each one hasn’t worked. You can use the joining word ‘but’ to help you join the parts of the sentence, e.g. I tried to jump up and grab a star but it was too high.

You might want to use the introductory sentence and sentence starters below to help you:
Dear Astronomer, I’m writing this letter to ask for your help in catching a star! I’ve already tried a few things but none of them have worked!
First of all I tried …
Next I had a go at …
I’ve also …
I’ve even …
I’m beginning to think I will never catch a star!
Please can you help me!
Yours sincerely, Signature

Check all sentences for spelling and punctuation together. Return to the story (using the link above) and find out if the boy did eventually manage to catch a star!

Good morning Year 4!

For the next 2 weeks, we are going to be reading lots of Viking myths and practising lots of different reading skills along the way

Watch the video of me below - (Jinxy cat is in the background having a wash. Don’t let her distract you!)

Then watch the film ‘How Odin created the world.’

Then I would like you to recreate Yygrasil, the tree of life, drawing and labelling the different worlds as you go down the tree. I would love to see pictures of these - please send!

Maths

Today’s lesson is dividing 1 or 2 digit numbers by a hundred.

Remember what you know about place value. When you divide by ten all numbers jump one place to the right.

How many jumps to the right will you make to divide by one hundred?

RE

Today you are going to be finding about the 7 Sacraments. Then I have set you a blank book template 2do in Purple Mash to make your own book about the sacraments.

1. Read the information and then watch the video

2. Create your book

Sumdog

Unfortunately, this week is our last week of being able to access Sum Dog. I have set you some decimals practice and some other things if you want to make the most of it, before the subscription runs out at the end of the week!
