Year 4 Home learning Tuesday 14th July

English

Today you are going to do a bit of Year 4 writing revision and then you are going to create a magical item! My video went a bit wrong! It was supposed to have me in the top right corner but it didn’t work. But it still has my voice! At one point I show you a stone - now obviously you will not be able to see it!

Maths

Celebrating Year 4

Today I have set you a purple mash task to write a postcard to a new year 4 pupil. Your aim is to make them feel excited and hopeful!

Give them lots of advice about what it is like in Year 4 and what you need to be like. You could tell them about some things we learn about. I can then display them on our shared school board for them to read.!

Faith Filled and Hopeful

Today we will learn about how Mary praised God. Read and complete the prayer below.


Year 4 home learning. Your final week! Monday 13th July

English - Viking myths continued!

Watch the video below to find out your exciting task today. I forgot to say in the video that I would love you to draw the character too!!!

Maths

I thought we could spend our last week thinking about money. Enjoy the video and task below.

Celebrating our Achievements.

I have set a Purple Mash 2do and I would like you to do me a slideshow all about your favourite subject in year 4! I would prefer something we have done in class rather than Art (I know you all adore that!)

Maybe it is a subject you have grown more fond of this year, like English or Maths. Maybe it is Science or History. Perhaps you love geography or computing.

I have written some prompts in the help section (look for the blue question mark) to help you tell me more about why you love it and which parts in particular!

Faith-Filled and Hopeful

During our time at home over the last couple of months, we have all had to put our trust in God and be as full of faith and hope as we possible could be in such different and difficult times. Therefore, the teachers at school decided that the best virtues to focus upon during the last week of home learning would be faith-filled and hopeful.

We are going to end our year by growing closer to Mary our Mother each day. Complete the activity below.

Year 4 Thursday 9th July Learning from Home with Mrs Hotchkiss

Thank you for all your thoughtful work related to our beautiful planet!!

Today we turn to our first topic in Year 5 - The Ancient Greeks! I believe you love history and you know all about the Vikings!!! At the beginning of Year 5 we study the Ancient Greeks. Unlike other groups in Ancient times these people didn’t really live in one country together. Greece is so mountainous and has thousands of islands that the population was split into lots of smaller cities. It was not easy to travel form one to the other and each island and “City State” had its own ruler and laws. These cities sometimes fought against one another too. We study the Ancient Greeks because so many parts of their culture (the way they lived) has influenced the way we live today (democracy and the Olympic games)! They were also great mathematician and inventors - they even invented the idea of history itself - recording events for people in the future to learn from.

TASK 1 WHO WERE THE GREEKS?

Grab your English book ready to make notes. Write this subheading:

Who were the Ancient Greeks? Now click on the button to visit the BBC Bitesize page. Write down what you have learnt from this reading.

TASK 2 THE OLYMPIC GAMES

Once the Ancient Greeks moved past the dark ages they began to work more closely together and they invented the Olympic games!!! Again place a subheading in your English book and write down the key information for the BBC Bitesize page! Take this learning further. Click onto the Purple Mash link and visit your 2do’s here you will find a fact sheet to complete all about the Olympics - use your research to complete it!

TASK 3 PE CHALLENGE

The Ancient Greeks are not the only civilization to love sport! Girls we can join in this PE!!!! The Lancashire team have set us a new PE challenge this week. Click on the link below to take you to our school sports page. Mrs Gregan has faithfully helped us all stay active - thank you Mrs G !

TASK 4 ART

One of the reasons we know so much about the Ancient Greeks is because Archaeologists has used artifacts and ruins to piece together a clearer picture (just like detectives). The Ancient Greeks used a lot of pottery and on those vases and jars they drew pictures of Live in Ancient Greece. Click on the button to study pictures of real ancient vases - can you see how they depict the Olympic games? I have also gven you a blank vase to print out or copy so that you can produce a vase of your own- what part of Ancient Greek life will you show? Take care with colour you have to use Brown/orange and black!!!

History

Today, for history, you have to prove that Vikings were maybe not as bad as everyone says. Not everything we hear about them is true and perhaps there is more to them than bloodthirsty warriors.

Look at the slideshow below where you will find numbered sources of evidence - that prove different things about Vikings.

Look at your statements about Vikings and pick the appropriate source which proves that fact. Write the number in your table.

The answers are below.

You may find it easier to print out the sources so you can look at them all at once and decide which would fit best. Some prove more than one thing about Vikings.
