Wednesday 1st April

Welcome Year 4!

Happy April Fools Day! We are getting much closer to Easter now. 

I hope you have all been enjoying your online learning at home. Please let me know if you need any help. 

Keep working hard Year 4, you have done briliantly so far!

Maths

Complete no more than 20 minutes on Times Tables Rockstars or Prodigy. 

Today we are dividing 2-digit numbers by 10. The work set for yesterday will help you with this, although today's work is a little trickier. Have a go at the questions on this game. If you prefer, you can write each question down and work them out in your book instead.

If you are finding it a bit tricky, you may want to use this online place value grid to help.             https://mathsbot.com/tools/placeValue  

Remember, when we divide by 10 we move the digits one place to the right.

English

Continue drafting your narrative for 'Flood'. A narrative is just another word for a story! Click on the picture of the book for the online preview of 'Flood'. Remember, you are writing your own ending!

You should aim to complete the next paragraph today including the following events:

• Family pack up their house and leave - don't forget to add lots of thoughts and feelings here!
• The storm rages through the house - if you were in during the last week of school, you could use some of the description of the living room.
• The storm finally ends

Think about your plan and how you would like your story to end. I have attached the features of our narrative at the bottom of this page.

Science

Below are some instructions for a water cycle experiment. You do not need to buy anything new - see if you can use things you already have in your house. Ask an adult first and they can help you find the things you will need. You can have a go at this again over the Easter holidays if the weather today isn't very sunny. Remember to ask an adult first!

HINT: It should still work without the blue food colouring but you may need to look a little bit closer

If you don't have all the equipment, or you are not able to do this at home, don't worry, take a look at this video here which shows you the experiment ->  https://www.mobileedproductions.com/blog/how-to-make-a-water-cycle-in-a-bag
