Maths -Tenths on a place value grid

We hope you have been enjoying using the White Rose maths lessons. Today’s lesson will focus on writing decimals with ones and tenths.

Here is the link to the video (remember to use week 1 lesson 3):  https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-4/ 

English – Finish re-writing the Gruffalo

Yesterday, you re-wrote the descriptions of the Gruffalo but based these on the description of your Mythical Creature instead.

There is one more part of the book that we would like you to re-write and that is the part where the mouse meets the woodland animals and tells them where he’s meeting the Gruffalo and what he likes to eat!

You will need to watch the Youtube teaching video below which teaches you how to do this. The attached documents will help you to finish re-writing the Gruffalo. Once this part is done, it is up to you how you would like to publish your story – you can edit the story on a computer like Miss Goddard did or write it by hand in your best handwriting. It would be great to see you attach your writing to your front covers and have a finished book. You could even read this book to your siblings!

Topic – Research mythical creatures 

Today’s topic is linked to ‘real-life’ mythical creatures or cryptids – open the document below for your task.

Maths

Today, we are continuing our work on Fractions using the White Rose Maths Lessons. This will involve watching the video clip and completing the worksheet.  There is an answer sheet to check your work.

Please complete  Week 1 – Lesson 3 -Tenths – In this lesson you will find out when a whole is split into 10 equal parts it is called tenths. In this lesson pictures, bar models and part whole models are used to help you understand what tenths are and how they are made up.

You can find the video and resources for today’s lesson here https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/  Watch the clip and follow the instructions.

Science

Bringing our ‘What’s inside?’ topic to a close, can you teach your family all about the skeleton and how it works?  We’d like you to be a science professor and tell your family some of the facts that you have learned this half term.  You could even demonstrate a few things for them! 

Check with your grown up first!

I like to move it just dance 

Jump up just dance 

Who let the dogs out just dance 

Have a super evening!

Ongoing Daily Activities

Here are the daily activities for you to complete each day. Continue with your handwriting booklet that you can work through very gradually, not in one go. You can either print the booklet, or do this onto paper of your own at home. We look forward to seeing how amazing your handwriting will be when we see your work. The Common Exception Words should also be learnt gradually, by selecting 2 or 3 words a week that you should aim to learn along side your weekly spellings.

20 minutes of reading either a school book or a home book. See our Educating Home page for other reading and phonics links and resources. 

Complete your 2,5 and 1o times tables using TTRockstars, or a different method.

Complete your weekly spellings which are provided below and are in Spelling Shed, and the Year 2 common exception words.

English

In English today, we will be learning about different types of poetry and using this to create some of our own animal poetry, linked with the animals in the Enormous Crocodile story by Roald Dahl. The presentation below shows you three different types of poetry. Look at each one and decide which type you would like to try for yourself! You have been given a choice today so that you can be as creative as you like. In each type of poetry, the aim is to describe your animal. To do this you may want to describe what they look like, how they move, what they sound like, how big or small they are etc. You will need to use adjectives (describing words) to do this well. You may want to include some ‘simile’ where you compare your animal to something else using ‘like’ or ‘as____as‘ i.e. He roars like thunder, He is as quiet as a mouse. Have lots of fun being creative! We look forward to seeing the results!

English – Phonics

As our English activity today, we are focusing on phonics. We will be looking at alternate sounds today (more than one way of writing the same sound). You could watch the Read Write Inc video on Set 2 and 3 sounds live at 10:00 and 10:30 here: RWI Youtube as this would a great start to this activity. Afterwards, the clip is available for 24 hours on the RWI youtube channel.

After practising some speed sounds, have a look at these sounds:

What do you notice about them? What is the same? What is different?

They all make the same sound! They use different letters though.

Sound out and blend these green words. Can you be a great detective and work out which word has which igh/ie/i-e sound? 

Alternate igh ie i-e Green Words

Here are some activities you could complete if you would like to continue learning about igh, ie and i-e:

• Monster Words – Sound out and blend the words. Draw a monster next to the words that are not real words (monster words!). Can you tell someone at home which igh/ie/i-e sound is in the word? Click here: monster words igh ie i-e
• Snakes and Ladders – Roll a dice and move that amount of spaces. Sound out and blend the word before moving to the next person’s turn. If your square has a ladders, you can climb it but if it has a snake, you have to slide down. The winner is the first person to reach the finish square. See if you can tell someone at home which igh/ie/i-e sound the words have. Find the game here: Snakes and Ladders igh ie i-e
• Phonics Play: Dragons Den! Choose igh (Phase 3), ie or i-e (Phase 5) or enter your own words. Click here: Dragons Den – Phonicsplay 
• Write each sound on different pieces of paper and see if you can make a word that has an igh/ie/i-e sound in it. You could choose a word from the table above, or think of your own. For example:

Lesson 2 – Measuring Mass

Before starting, have another go at being a human scale! Remember to say your sentence: ‘The ___ is heavier than the ___.’ ‘The ___ is lighter than the ___.’ 

This lesson is looking at finding out how much objects weigh using non-standard unit measurements. Non-standard units are objects that do not use grams, kilograms etc. For example, this object weighs the same as _ cubes. Have a watch of the video. What do you spot? While watching the video and doing your job can you join in with the sentence? ‘The ___ weighs the same as ___ cubes.’

Watch the Week 1, Lesson 2 Video Here – Measuring Mass Video
