Below is a list of on-going MATHS, ENGLISH, PHYSICAL and TOPIC tasks which you could complete throughout the time our school is closed.

        ‘Times tables Rock Stars' (https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school/student/16046)

        Mathsframe (https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/477/Multiplication-Tables-Check)

        Hit the Button (https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button)

        or any other method to improve and increase your times table recall speed.

• Play different Maths games on the online Maths Shed – This will help with your recalling your number facts (Access this through your Spelling Shed log in) https://www.mathshed.com/

ENGLISH

• Practise your reading using the Twinkl e-books online (these are free at the moment) and are a fun way for you to read books online. https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resources/literacy/story-resources/story-books-ebooks

• Read a range of texts at home. You could see how many type of texts you can find...These could include story books, non-fiction texts, instructions for games, maps, recipe books etc.

• Listen to David Walliams Audio Books https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/  

• Practise your Year 4 Spelling Rules. Use the spelling Shed website – your login details are in your yellow log. https://www.spellingshed.com/

• Practise the Year 4 Statutory Spellings using the word mat below (or in your packs) to spell the words correctly. You could use any of our spelling strategies that we use in school such as silly sentences, quickwrite, trace and copy, pyramid writing, drawing around the word, rainbow writing and look, cover, say and write. 

• Practise your joined handwriting using the 'Penpals' handwriting joins we use at school. Use the picture below to remind you which letters join and which letters do not. Also be careful to check the height of ascenders (letters that go up) and decenders (letters that go down).
