Weekly Art Challenge - Week 1

Hi year 4!

As we are all stuck inside quite a lot I thought it would be a good idea to practice our observational sketching using an interesting object from our homes. Here are some examples:

Tips:

* Sketch the outline lightly.
* Focus on light and dark areas for the shading.

Please use safe objects and ask an adults permission to move anything!

Good luck!

Friday 27th March - Maths Challenge (Time)

Hello year 4!
Warm - Up: Multiplying by 10 and 100

Remember - The rule for multiplying by 10 is that the digits stay the same but move 1 place value column to the left. We usually fill in the place holder with a zero.

For example:

3 x 10 = 30

15 x 10 = 150

2.3 x 10 = 23 or 23.0

For multiplying by 100 the digits go 2 spaces to the left and we may need to fill in 2 place holders:

For example:

3 x 100 = 300

15 x 100 = 1500

2.3 x 100 = 230 or 230.0

Here are your questions:

5 x 10
14 x 10
35 x 10
63 x 10
90 x 10
4.6 x 10
53.2 x 10
9 x 100
14 x 100
453 x 100
65.9 x 100

As quick as a flash, ___________________________

As hot as lava, _______________________________

Like an angry tiger, ___________________________

Use these pictures to write  simile sentences of your own.

English Challenge - Tuesday 24th March (Fronted Adverbials)

This term we have practiced using fronted adverbials in our writing to improve the way in which we start our sentences. A fronted adverbial is a sentence that starts with an adverb and is usually followed by a comma. For example:

Quickly, the metallic sports car sped off in the direction of the motorway.

In your challenge books write four sentences using any of these adverbs. Remember to make the sentences interesting by using plenty of adjectives!

Silently,                               

Creepily,                               

Joyfully,

Angrily, 

Use these pictures as inspiration for some sentences of your own:

Here are some adverbs you might use:

Heavily     Mournfully     Brightly    Icily     Clearly     Gloomily
