Monday 6th April - Maths Challenge (Fractions)

Good morning year 4,

This week we will revise some of our learning about fractions.

Here is your warm-up - In your challenge book write down the equivalent fractions. Use the faction wall if you get stuck!

Now try this problem solving question. Try to be clear with your explanations.

Finally try this problem. Draw a strip of 12 squares to help you, if you need to.

Monday 6th April - English Challenge ( Reading Comprehension)

Good morning year 4,
Mr Deakin and Mr Hissey hope you had a good weekend. Linking with what we have been learning in science, the digestive system, here is your reading comprehension for Monday. Read the text and answer the questions below in your challenge books.

Here are the questions:

Maths Challenge - Friday 3rd April (Statistics)

Good morning year 4, we hope you are well!

To finish of our look at statistics this week we will look as some problem solving examples.

Here's the warm-up: Subtracting 9

A really good strategy for subtracting 9 is to subtract 10 and then add one back on to the total.

For example:   43 - 9 = 43 - 10 = 33 and then add 1 back on for 34

Solve the following questions:

25 - 9
36 - 9
47 - 9
52 - 9
73 - 9

105 - 9

226 - 9

347 - 9

525 - 19

734 - 29

Englsh Challenge - Friday 3rd April

Hi year 4,

To finish our week learning about punctuation I thought we'd look at how commas and brackets can be used to insert extra information into sentences.

Here's our example sentence:

Tim, who was nine years old, was one of the youngest members of his year five class.

We could also do the same thing with brackets.

Tim (who was nine years old) was one of the youngest members of his year five class.

Now you have a go at writing some similar sentences using commas and brackets. Copy and complete them in your challenge books.

1. The car, _____________________, sped off down the road.

2. Beautiful flowers ( ________________ ) were arranged in the vase.

3. Thomas, who loved riding his bike, _________________________ .

4. Flocks of seagulls ( ______________________ ) swooped down on to the beach.

Now have a go at writing two sentences of your own, similar to these, which use commas or brackets. Use these pictures for inspiration.

Rainbows for Nightingale!

You may have seen the new Nightingale Hospital on the news.

NHS Nightingale are looking for pictures and messages of Hope drawn by children to decorate the bare walls.

Please ensure that pictures are A4 so they can be laminated for infection control purposes. If you can laminate them before sending to your regional hub PLEASE do! This saves a lot of work for those who are giving up time to do this. Feel free to draw as many as you like there are no restrictions on sharing the love! Also if you’d like to write a message of hope or get well wishes please feel free to!
Whichever region you live in can you please send your pictures to the address that has been assigned to your region (I know not all addresses are within your region but we’ve had to divide it up the best we can with the volunteers we’ve got). This helps to share the load between those who have volunteered.
When you’ve posted to your regional hub - they will then be lovingly collected and once there’s enough will be sent on to someone who will deliver them to the Nightingale Hospital.
Finally on a health and safety point - please adhere to all government guidelines and adhere to safe self distancing measures. Always wash or gel hands after handling post etc.
All pictures should be addressed to “Rainbows for Nightingale”'

 

Address for Yorkshire and Humberside -

Rainbows for Nightingale
97 Doveside Drive
Darfield
Barnsley
S73 9NW

Maths Challenge - Thursday 2nd April (Statistics)

Warm - Up: Adding 9

A quick tip for adding 9 quickly is to add 10 and subtract 1. For example 34 + 9 = add 10 = 44 - 1 = 43.

Use this strategy for the following addition calculations:

25 + 9
42 + 9
17 + 9
37 + 9
54 + 9

212 + 9

315 + 9

453 + 9

564 + 9

34 +19

55 + 29

Main Activity - Line Graphs

Line graphs are a good type of graph to show how something changes over time. Look at this line graph and answer the questions in your challenge book.

How many degrees difference was there between the highest and lowest temperatures?

What happens to the temperature as we move through the morning towards lunch time?




Now look at this line graph showing how a plant grows over a period of time and answer the questions.

Good luck and remember to look closely at the axis of the graphs.

English Challenge - Thurday 2nd April

Good morning year 4,

Let's continue our look at punctuation today by looking at speech marks (also known as inverted commas). We have practised using them a lot this term!

Using this piece of direct speech, write down the rules for punctuating speech to remind yourself of them:

"Toothless! Come here!" yelled Hiccup loudly.
"I'm hungry," moaned Toothless.

Have a go at writing these characters as direct speech using speech marks. Feel free to make up the character names.

When you are writing speech it is important not to use said too often. Instead use:

asked

replied 

exclaimed

shouted

whispered

whimpered

A common tip is to think SAID IS DEAD!
