Thursday

The Year 4 teachers have together created a daily week day booklet that will include a spelling, grammar, handwriting, reading, times tables and Maths, tasks. Here is a bit more detail on each task,
Spellings– Practise these everyday and have a spelling test on a Friday. They cover the words that you should know how to spell by the end of Year 4.
Grammar– We will focus on an area of Year 4 grammar daily. You will also have a grammar hammer quiz on a Monday to complete.
Handwriting– We will focus on our cursive handwriting and each week will include a certain letter formation.
Reading– This is a task where you will read and answer questions about the piece of text.
Times tables– Each week, we will focus on two different times tables and their inverse (division). If you would like to, you could do a times table test at the end of the week.
Maths– Every week day, you will get a set of questions that covers a range of Year 4 Maths. We have also included on a Wednesday an assertive mentoring test.
NEW for this week!
Crime and Punishment themed work for English/Topic
As part of our Summer ‘Whodunnit?’ Topic

Practise your spellings everyday and have a spelling test on Friday. Could you challenge yourself and write each word in a sentence?

This week, we will be focusing on our ’lumpy’ letters using cursive handwriting. You do not have to print this sheet off but you can practise on lined paper or plain paper with lines drawn on.. Remember to use your ‘flicks’ into each letter and to not take your pencil off until you have completed the set of letters or word.

For the Summer term, our topic is Whodunnit?. This topic looks at crime and punishment throughout the ages. Today, you will look at the different punishment methods that were popular during the Tudor period.
To help you complete the activities (over the next few pages) you will need to look through ’The Torturing Tudors’ PowerPoint.

Today we will focus on inferencing. Inferencing is a skill we use when reading. We know it as ’Reading between the lines’.

This week, we will be focusing on our x11 and x12 times table, including their inverse (division). You can practise these times tables out loud or you can answer them on a piece of paper. Make sure you check them after to see how many you got right. Good luck!

This week, we will be focusing on our multiplication and division written method.
