Year 4 – Friday 20th March

Good Morning Year 4, 

Welcome to Friday!  A day where at school it often feels like we have lots of jobs to do!  If you haven’t made a plan for the day, why don’t you make one now.  Today we have a TTRockstars battle with Year 3 to see which year group can get the most correct answers between 9am and 3pm – good luck Year 4!  We hope that you enjoy today and get a good balance of learning and relaxation.

You can find a worship here , too.

Miss Hardy, Mrs Happy & Mrs Tunnicliffe

Helpful Reminders

Don’t forget you can email us on year4@stmarksce.org.uk. We would love to hear from you if you have a question, need a password, need some help, want to show us your work or even just say hello! Please get your grown up’s permission before you email us. We look forward to hearing from you.

Presentation – Please remember to do your very best work. Handwriting and presentation are as important at home as they are in school. You can complete your work in a book or if you need lined or squared paper you can get it here.

Note for parents: Hopefully your children will enjoy working through these activities and can do independently. We completely understand it may be difficult to complete all these tasks due to other family commitments or you are working from home, so please do not worry; complete what you can with your child. 

Ongoing Daily Activities

At some point today, make sure you use your digital logins to play:-

  • TTRockstars – Play 5 garage games
  • Numbots – Play  for 15 mins
  • Spelling Shed – Play 3 rounds – your new spellings will go live at 12:00
  • Reading –  Read for at least 20 mins

Maths – times tables & division questions 

Usually on a Friday you do your times tables challenge.  We can’t quite do those today but below are links to the Big Maths ultimate challenge or the Big Maths Step 15 challenge.  If you are able to print them off, you can use them and set yourself a timer to see how quickly you can complete them in..

Here are some division questions for you too  https://cosipeb.exampro.net/.  Alternatively you can download them below.  Some of them you might be able to do in your head and for some of them you will need to use short division or ‘the bus stop’ method.

ENGLISH & SPELLINGS 

Friday is traditionally spelling test day.  Ask someone at home to test you on the spellings you have been practising this week – plunge, challenge, exchange, orange, arrange, revenge.  For those of you with pink words: should, would, could, both, bath, clothes

Parents/carers: At school we tend to say the word, say the word in a sentence and then repeat the word.

Your spellings for the week ahead are below and they will go live on spelling shed at 12:00.

Thank you to those who have been sending us your stories.  Today’s English is also below and encourages you to complete your story.

Topic

Mothering Sunday is traditionally the fourth Sunday in Lent and it is an opportunity for us to thank those who care for us.  This year it is on Sunday 22nd March.  Take some time today to make a list of things you could do help others and try to tick them off over the weekend.  If you are feeling creative, you might like to make a card to give to someone who cares for you on Sunday.  Here are a few ideas below.

Worship

Worship plays a key part in our school.  Here is a link to a worship you could use as a family; either today or over the weekend.
