Welcome to your final half term in Year 4! We still have a lot to do in this final half term - so make sure you are focused like Cooper Crab and Don’t give up like Sadie Spider. First, watch my little video below which just explains a few things you need to know this half term. I will try to make one video each week which explains the coming week and what I expect.
English
We are going to try out some of the special Lancashire English units for the next 2 weeks. Next week’s one is all about David Walliams!
This week you will be exploring people who inspire us. Delve into facts and find out why these people are
inspirational. You’ll also have a chance to think about who inspires you too and make your own ‘Inspiration Book’.
Read and enjoy opening extracts from the following books in a series by Kate Pankhurst about several inspirational women. (You will need to become a member of LoveReading4Kids. Membership is free).
As you read, note down unfamiliar vocabulary and use a dictionary/thesaurus to find out what new words mean. Word hippo is a good one!
Select two or three of your favourite texts read today. Create some charts showing key information and/or mind maps. For example, you could scan the texts to find important dates and create a chart such as the one below.
Alternatively, you could create a mind map, noting all the key information you have read about one of the inspirational people.
Maths
It is time to move on to decimals! The secret is that decimals are just fractions in numerical form! This is why we learned all about fractions first!
I would like you to watch and join in with the videos from White Rose maths to learn about decimals. It is important that you listen carefully, join in properly and pause the screen to complete activities when the online teacher asks you to. You may want to complete them with an adult nearby to help.
Today please watch Week 1 (not Summer) Lesson 1 Recognise Tenths and Hundredths then complete the sheets below it. Finally, mark it using the answer sheet. Ask a grown up if stuck.
