Week Three
We're really enjoying our time with Year 4, they continue to impress us and we certainly have had plenty of giggles together. This week for home learning we want the children to put their knowledge of rounding numbers to the test. If you need a quick reminder you can visit the following link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zh8dmp3/articles/zpx2qty
There are three different levels available of this home learning task, children can choose their own activity.

SPELLINGS We are continuing our work on homophones. If you need another copy of the list, click on the link below
Week Two.
This week, the children have really impressed us with their positive attitude and wonderful smiles; a very successful week. For home learning, we are asking the children to complete a 'talking task'. This gives the children the opportunity to choose a question of their choice from the suggestions given and then they are expected to form their own opinion. They will have the opportunity to share their ideas in class next Friday 25th September.
SPELLINGS Homophones
We have four different lists to offer different levels of challenge. Click on the link below to access the spelling.
Week One.
This week, we would like the children to reflect what they learnt last year. We have given the children the children a copy of the Year Three and Four high frequency words and we would like them to identify some of the words on the list that they think they need to practise. We have also included the 'No Nonsense' Spelling tips so that the children have a range of fun ways to learn their words.
We have also been identifying time tables that we know really well. The aim is, that by the end Year Four, children will be able to rapidly recall all their tables up to 12 x 12. Which times tables do you feel like you know instantly? Which do you think you need to practise?
Times Table Order of Learning.
-2s, 5s and 10s
(division facts for these)
-4s and 8s
(division facts for these)
-3s and 6s
(division facts for these)
-7s, 9s, 11s
(division facts for these)
-12s
-all times tables
-all division facts.
The children will have 3 minutes to complete 60 questions on their own personalised times tables sheet. Once they complete their sheet, they will move on to the next level. For the next few weeks, it may be that we revise some previously learnt times tables in order for us to assess pupils' confidence and speed.
