Home Learning

Buenos días Year 4

I hope you had a good start to the week yesterday. 

Here is today's home learning:

English

​Yesterday, you answered some questions to help you think about what might happen in your adventure story. Today, we are going to collect lots of vocabulary to help you with the description and the show not tell when you start your writing.
​
Split a page of your book into quarters. Label each box: nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs.
In each box write as many words of that word class that are linked to yesterday’s picture and your adventure story. I given you some examples below to help you start off. 

nouns
ice    boat    rope

adjectives
cold     icy     isolated

verbs
shiver     trapped     stuck

adverbs
furiously     calmly     slowly

CHALLENGE: Create a list of fronted adverbials you could use in your story.

REMEMBER: Fronted adverbials come at the beginning of a sentence and describe where, when or how something happened. They always have a comma at the end. For example:

• Later that day, the ice began to melt.
• In a far off land, the temperature never rises above freezing and the sea is always frozen.
• Without hesitation, the men began to pull at the thick rope.

Maths

Yesterday, we started off the week with some Coin Multiplication. Today we are going to continue working on multiplication but practise using Smile Multiplication. This method helps us to multiply any 2-digit number by a 1-digit number.

As with yesterday, there are different levels of challenge. Can you do all 9 of them?

4x22          43x5          3x82

6x58          8x54          5x97

9x76          69x7          59x8          

CHALLENGE: Pick 3 of the questions you have answered and try to create a word problem that matches it. For example a word problem for 45x2 could be:
In my house there are 45 pairs of shoes. How many shoes are there in total?

Don't forget...

• You should be reading for 20 minutes every day. If you finish your books at home, there are lots of books on Serial Mash that you can read and there are questions you can answer too.
• Study Ladder and Purple Mash have a range of activities set on them that you can go onto at any time.
• You can join in the class blog on Purple Mash. (The previous post gives information about how to do this.) Thank you to those of you who have already commented, I have really enjoyed hearing from you and finding out what you are up to. I will try to reply to you when I can. 
• You can join Joe Wicks for some PE each morning on his YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyCLoPd4VxBvQafyve889qVcPxYEjdSTl)
• Check out Emily's ELSA blog, you can hear her reading you a story!

Keep working hard, washing your hands and staying safe!

Hasta luego,
Ruth
