Maths

White Rose Daily Home Learning

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-4/

This website provides you with access to the scheme we currently use in school. Use this daily to teach the relevant new skills. Even if you don’t have access to a printer, children can still watch the video and record their answers on paper. Answers are provided so they can mark their own work.

Times tables

We practice for at least 5 minutes daily in school. All of these websites allow children to practice their times tables. Although the government multiplication check has been cancelled due to the current situation, children need to continue practicing these regularly as they underpin many areas of maths.

English

This should be a combination of writing, grammar, spelling and reading.

Reading

This should be done a daily basis. If you don’t have access to many books you can use the websites below to access audiobooks. Remember you don’t always have to read a ‘book’, why not try a magazine, leaflet or newspaper?

I have attached a reading comprehension called 'The Romans' to complete. Answers can be recorded on plain paper and marked against the answers. (SEE END OF PAGE)

Writing

Complete the ‘Romans Descriptive Writing' task (SEE END OF PAGE). Read the extract from the story then it is up to you to write what happens next! Try using fronted adverbials. Watch this video if you have forgotten what they are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lk-_LIc3dWA 

Grammar

Use these websites to practice different aspects of grammar. You can choose some ideas from the list below so you know you are focussing on the correct objectives.
