Tuesday 16th September Tasks
As school is closed today you can have a go at these learning tasks and bring any work you do with you when you come back to school. You can also read your reading book and have a go on Times Table Rockstars.
English
In class we have been reading 'Counting on Katherine' and have started to plan a diary entry. You can write notes for your diary entry as Katherine's dad, listing reasons why the family should move to a new town or why they might stay where they are.
Maths
In Maths we have been counting in 1,000's and flexibly partitioning numbers up to 10,000. Can you find 1, 10, 100, 1,000 more and less than these numbers.
1,253 3,602 5,616 2,777 8,931 9,101 2,871 5,555
Here is an example:
3,231
1 more=3,232 1 less=3,230
10 more=3,241 10 less=3,221
100 more=3,331 100 less=3,131
1000 more=4,231 1000 less=2,231
Wednesday 17th September Tasks
As school is still closed, you can have a go at these learning tasks and bring any work you do with you when you come back to school. You can also read your reading book and have a go on Times Table Rockstars.
Maths
In maths, we have been looking at place value. We have been counting in 1,000's and flexibly partitioning numbers up to 10,000. We have also been looking at representing numbers up to 10,000. What number is represented by each image?
CHALLENGE: Can you make up your own symbols for 1s, 10s, 100s and 1,000s and use that to represent each number? Look at my example below for the number 2,321.
For extra practise with representing number, see the document in the files below.
English
In class we have been reading 'Counting on Katherine' and have started to plan a diary entry. Yesterday, you wrote a list of reasons for the family to stay in their house and reasons for them to move. Choose 3 of your ideas and create a full sentence using a conjunction to explain why. You can use the poster in the documents as a reminder of our WHITEBUS acronym.
Look at my example:
Katherine's family should move towns so that she can get an education at high school. If you want a further challenge, can you refer to Katherine in different ways like we practised in class? Think of alternative nouns and adjectives to describe her.
Science
In science, we have been looking at identifying and grouping animals. Use your knowledge from class to answer these questions:
Further work: Create a table sorting your own choses animals into 2 different groups. Can you group the same animals in different ways?
Staff
The teachers in our class are Miss Manly, Mrs Musa, Miss Smith, Mrs Lewin and Mrs Buksh.
Upcoming events
4M Trip to Rivington Pike Monday 29th September. Please wear suitable clothing and footwear.
PE days
Our PE days in 4M are on Monday and Wednesday.
Reading
Please bring your reading book to school every day so we can read with you.
Please read a few pages at home every day and ask an adult to sign your reading record
Homework
Homework is handed out on a Friday afternoon. Children are encouraged to complete this as soon as possible and try to hand in before Wednesday but Friday at the latest.
Five Reads
Each half term, each year group has 5 new picture books to read daily during story time. These picture books are age appropriate and often link to the current learning for each year group. This ensures the children are exposed to a wide range of genres and authors across the year and develop confidence in knowing a variety of stories in greater depth. These ‘5 reads’ books are further celebrated in a half termly assembly to share the cohort’s favourite book of the half term and to receive their new ‘5 reads’.
