Thursday 7th January
Here we go again! Remember to try your best and enjoy practising
your super skills.
Reading Workshop tasks
Let’s start the day with a wordsearch! Try to find 9 of our year
4 key spellings in the grid below. They are all words we have
practised in class before, but make sure you have a quick check to
make sure you can spell them all correctly.
Now practise putting these word lists in alphabetical order.
Numeracy
For this task you need to make sure you set the columns out
correctly and place each digit in the correct column. Look at my
example. As an extension activity, once you have the total number
of centimetres jumped, try to turn the distance into metres – again
look at my example.
There are 3 tricky word problems for questions 6, 7 and 8.
Remember to read the question carefully and record all of your
working out.
There is another addition task sheet below if you are looking
for more…
Literacy
Time for a traditional tale from Norway now, quite a scary one
at that!! Be warned!!
Go to Espresso – KS2 – English – Traditional Tales (lower)
Click on the video of ‘The Three Sisters Who Fell Into the
Mountain’ and listen carefully to the story.
Next go to the ‘Activities’ and complete the quiz from the same
story to see how well you listened.
Finally go to the ‘Printable Resources’ section and complete the
first part of the ‘Three Sisters’ task which is all about how the
words make you feel and what you are expecting to happen. You don’t
need to print the sheet out, you could write your ideas straight
into your workbooks. Check all sentences make sense and spellings
are correct.
I want you to write your own story on Friday, which is the
second part of the task so leave that part for now. If you have
printed the task out keep the second sheet ready for tomorrow.
PE
As every Monday and Thursday afternoons are timetabled for our
PE sessions, it would be really good if you could try to keep up
your fitness while you are working at home. Try to log on to Joe
Wicks who is creating 3 new sessions each week for you – every
Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
ART
Thursday afternoons are usually your art and PE sessions with
Miss Sinclair and she will be setting your art challenges over the
next few weeks. We are looking at the work of the French
impressionist painter, Georges Seurat, in particular, his
pointillism technique of applying colour to create images.
We will still be completing our own pointillism masterpieces but
we will wait until we are back in the classroom for that. First, I
would like you to do a little research and find out about Georges
Seurat. When was he born? Where did he live? What are his famous
pieces of work? How did he apply the paint or colour onto his
pieces? Research some facts yourself and try to write a paragraph
about this famous painter.
Pointillism is the technique of using dots to create images.
Placing dots close together gives a darker, greater depth of colour
and placing the dots further apart creates a lighter, softer shade.
Look at the example at the top of the sheet below and notice how
the shades darken as the dots are placed closer together.
Primary colours (red, blue and yellow) and secondary colours
(green, orange and purple) can mix together to create many other
colours and shades and this is what we will be experimenting with
over the next few weeks.
Below is a sheet which you can use to practise and experiment
developing shades of colour. Firstly, try to create a range of
light through to dark shades, using only one colour. Then you can
experiment with the three primary colours, red, blue and yellow as
well as creating shades of colour too. Enjoy!
