Keep practising your times tables on Times Table Rockstars or Numbots. As we have been working on our 7's and 9's this week in Maths, have a go at these questions:

7's                                 

4 x __ = 28                        28 ÷ 7 = __

__ x 7 = 2800                    __ ÷ 7 = 400

Put these multiplies of 7 in order from the smallest to the largest.

14, 7, 28, 21, 35, 49 

9's

9 x 7 = __                 630 ÷ 90 = __

Maths

Have a go at the following problem solving questions which focus on your 6 times table knowledge. Read the question carefully and have a piece of paper to work out the calculations. 

Times Tables

Keep practising your times tables on either Times Table Rockstars or Numbots please. Choose one you aren't as confident with and try and beat your score. Remember, the more you practise the more confident you will become with your times tables.

Writing

I would like you to come up with your own character for a new story - just like what we did this week in class as part of our Live Tales project. Remember to include the character's name, a character description, the setting of the story and a short plot (or blurb). 

Friday 20th November 2020

Writing

I would like you to write your own poem about a dragon you have created. I would like the poem written using stanzas (paragraphs) made up of 4 lines.

Remember, a comma goes at the end of the first sentence and a full stop goes at the end of the second sentence. Your poem should contain at least 3 of these language features: alliteration, personification, onomatopoeia, a metaphor or a simile. Challenge yourself by including all 5 of these language features in your poem.

History

I would like you to do some research and find out as much information as you can about Queen Boudicca. Who was Queen Boudicca? Which tribe did she belong to? Why was she a significant figure in Roman Britain?

Maths

I would also like you to have a go at problem solving questions below. You can answer the questions on a sheet of paper or in a notebook. 

Extension Challenge:

Can you come up with your own multi-step problem solving question involving either dividing by 3, or multiplying by 3.. or both? Ask someone at home to have a go at working out the answer. Make it as challenging as you can and ensure the question is carefully worded.

Times Tables

Keep practising your times tables on rockstars and numbots.

Friday 13th November 2020

420 ÷ 10

700 ÷ 100

900 ÷ 100

Extension Challenge!

There are 10 classes each with 25 pupils. Throughout the year, 1 pupil leaves one of the classes to move school and another class adds another 5 pupils who have joined the school. What is the new total number of pupils after these changes?

Writing

I would like you to create your own dragon profile just like we have been doing this week in English. However, the dragon does not need to be a fire breathing dragon - you can create your own dragon with other unique, special features. Remember to mention things like: the dragon's roar, teeth, mouth, origin and breed.

History

For your history homework this week, I would like you to have a go at comparing the Romans with the Celts. What similarities are there between the two armies? What differences are there between the two armies? Split your page down the middle and have 'similarities' on the left hand side, with your 'differences' on the right hand side.

Hello Year 4. Here is this week's homework I would like you all to do at some point before next Friday please.

On Monday, we will be learning about the Romans and their invasion of Britain. Have a look at this picture and on a piece of paper or in a notebook, I want you to answer this question: 

"What is happening in this picture?"

I would like you to choose 5 common exception words of your choice from the print out I sent home last week and see if you can write a sentence containing each of the words. If you don't have your sheet, here are the spellings I would like you to use: accident, difficult, height, position and recent. 

Maths

Times Table Rockstars

Please continue to access Times Table Rockstars and practise your times tables. Our school's postcode is NE12 8FA.

https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school/student

This week you will be focusing on a mixture of times tables ranging from 1 to 12. This is a really good way to practise as multiplication calculations sometimes vary between different times tables. 

Numbots

Numbots is an online interactive game that will improve your child's mathematical thinking and answering speed. It can be played online or you can download the app on Apple and Android devices. Your child's user name and password is the same as the login used for Times Tables Rockstars. You can access Numbots here using this link: https://numbots.com/

Initially, I would like you to commence the story mode and get used to using the software. We will commence the different levels and challenges properly next week. 

Have a lovely weekend!

Mr. Q

Spellings:

I have attached the Year 3 and 4 common exception words below. Please read the words with an adult and choose 8 of them to learn for homework. I want you to focus on spelling the word correctly but also using the word in a sentence. Why not challenge yourself and see if you can think of any synonyms for each word just like we have been doing in our whole-class reading lessons this week?

Maths:

This week in maths we have been learning about 4-digit numbers using column addition. Have a go at these calculations where you will have to exchange some ones, tens or hundreds. All you will need is a piece of A4 paper or a notepad to work out the answers.

Remember, homework must stay at home for now. I will recap on what this homework focuses on next week in class to see how we have all got on with the different activities. 

Mr. Q 

Friday 18th September 2020

Hello Year 4. Here is this week's homework which focuses on what we have been learning this week in maths and English. 

Always double check your calculations in maths (or challenge yourself and have a go at doing the inverse of the calculation) and keep practising your handwriting in English when learning your spellings. If you don't have access to a printer, you can use a notebook or an A4 size sheet of paper to write down your answers or calculations.

Please remember that homework must remain at home for now. I will address any misconceptions and offer whole-class feedback the following week in school.
