Year 4 Remote Learning Friday 15th January

Well done for all your hard work this week so far children! Your persuasive letters are looking really good!

English

Today, listen to some more of Charlotte’s Web - we are coming towards the end! Listen carefully.

Your tasks today are all about that pesky rat, Templeton!

Task 1 I have set up a blog post - Is Templeton a hero or a villain in this story? Discuss. I want you to go on this blog and put your opinion. Try to give me two or three reasons why you think this. Also try to use your persuasive language from your mat.

For instance,

I think Templeton is a villain. It is certain that he does not care about the others in the barn. In addition, he is selfish, dirty and mean. Surely you would agree that he is the bad character from the story?

You may have mixed feelings about him. You may be able to put both sides of the argument across. Read what your friends have put and see if you agree!

Task 2 - Draw a picture of a plump Templeton surrounded by food at the fair! Put adjectives and extended noun phrases around the outside to describe him, eg a gluttonous rat with an enormous belly!

If you take a photo of your picture you can send it to me - or you can upload it to your computer and then use 2publish to add it and save it as a file in Purple mash. Have a go! I wonder if there is a way of adding your picture to the blog post??

Maths

Today we are practising our 6x table - building on the work we did yesterday. See if you can master them. Complete the guided sheet below with the video. Then do your independent sheet in Purple mash.

( It would be great to practise them in TTrockstars as I have set it for the 6x tables.)
