Home Learning

Good Afternoon Red Class,

After hearing the announcement last night about the closure of schools I am sure that lots of you will be disappointed that you won’t be in school for a while. I am disappointed not to be welcoming you back today as normal and will miss seeing you. I hope you are all keeping well and safe. I am currently working on lots of home learning tasks for you and will post these on to the website today in the homework section as usual, some of you may have already seen that I posted some Maths and English tasks for today.

Keeping checking the website for updates and I will look forward to seeing some of you tomorrow morning.

Please take care and keep safe

Mrs Harper-Jones

Red Class Homework 27.11.20

This week your child has been set some English homework on Purple Mash. If you have any problems with this or your child is not able to access the homework online, please let us know on Monday. This needs to be completed by Wednesday 2nd December.

Year 4 have ‘Campsite Jim’ (this might appear twice but that that is an error – you only need to do it once!) and ‘Day Out’. These are both revision of fronted adverbials.

Year 3 have ‘Day Out’ (revision of fronted adverbials) and  ‘Alien Time’  which is revision of conjunctions.

Fronted adverbials tell you how, when, where or how often something happens e.g.

Before breakfast, I went for a run.

All of a sudden, Helen rushed out of the room.

 

Red Class (Times Tables)

By the end of Year 4, the children are expected to recall multiplication and division facts for tables up to 12 x 12. We will focus on a different table each week. It would be very helpful if you could help your child to learn their tables. They need to say them over and be able to recall the facts out of order too. There is a new national tables check which will take place at the end of Year 4 which starts this year.

We know that some children are already proficient with their tables but we will be doing some extra work on specific ones and these are outlined below. Don’t worry if your child already knows them as we will be extending them.

Week 1 – 14.09.20    x3

Week 2 -21.09.20   x6

Week 3 – 28.09.20    x4

Week 4 – 6.10.20  x8

Week 5 – 12.10.20  mixed tables

Don’t forget to go on Times Tables Rock Stars too!

 

Week commencing 13.7.20

As all children from years 3 and 4 have been invited into school this week there will not be any formal work set. However, I have added some links to useful websites for ideas for English and Science activities which you can have a go at.
