Book 1
You will be revising mixed o' clock and half past times
Page 18 and 19 Read the times on the analogue clocks and write the time as a digital time in the space below.
Book 2
Page 18 You will be telling the time one hour, half an hour or a quarter of an hour before a given time.
Question 1 . Draw the hands on the clock, on the right side of your page, to show quarter past 4. You are now asked to draw the time one hour before. If you take away/ count back one hour from quarter past 4 you will get quarter past 3. Draw this time on the analogue clock and write it as a digital time on the digital clock
Use a ruler to draw the hands neatly.
Book 3
We will be learning the last of the 5 minute intervals past the hour today, " 25 past times" in both analogue and digital formats.
Page 20 When telling the time, the long hand tells us the minutes and the short hand tells us the hour. The first clock's long hand is pointing to the 5, which if you look closely is 25 little dots past o'clock. The hour hand is pointing almost half way between the 12 and the 1.(at half past the hour the hour hand is exactly half way between the hours).
Put both together and the time is 25 minutes past 12. In digital time, the hour comes first and then the minutes so 25 past 12 becomes 12:25.
Write both analogue and digital times under each clock on page 20.
Page 21- this will be relatively easy for you now. Use a ruler and pencil to draw hands on the blank clocks to show the given times. Remember the minute hand is the longer one. Make sure your clock hands are straight ( use a ruler) and that one is slightly longer than the other. Neither hand should be drawn on top of the numbers. If they are then they're too long so please correct them 😜Write the digital time below each clock.

This is one his most recognised paintings called Farbstudie Quadrate which was painted in 1913.
I have added some photographs of some of his other paintings below. As you can see his painting style is abstract and focuses on shape and colour. It looks easy to paint but it really isn't . The painting on the right sold in 2013 for over 21 million dollars 😱

Let's Paint
Find the white sheet in your folder with several heart outlines on it .
I'd like you to have a go at mixing your own paint colours to create a
painting something like this. If you don't have paints at home then use
whatever you do have. I'd love to see a photograph of your finished painting if you get a chance.
I have added some additional resources and ideas below if you would like to explore this time of artwork for yourself over the next few days. Have fun!

Tuesday 9th March
Thank you for all your folders of completed work year 4. You have been working hard at home. Also thank you to parents for contacting me with regards to missing work from your new pack. I have left copies of the mental maths grids for both groups and the numeracy investigations in the porch. These can be collected during school hours. My apologies again.
If you haven't had the chance yet to collect the latest pack from the assembly hall, it will be available to collect during school hours from the front porch. You can drop any completed work packs here too. Please make sure all returned work is named.
Today's work is as follows:
Spellings - copy out Tuesday's spellings into your homework diary.
Tables Hit the button revise all tables you have learnt so far
Check purple mash for a 'times table to do'
Phonics - See it Right ( see back of spelling sheet) and begin working through your High Frequency Words sheets.
Group 3 - work on spelling the first 100 high frequency words on the assessment sheet in your folder
Daily Numeracy and Literacy booklets answers at the top of this page
If you have finished your literacy booklet, keep it somewhere safe for returning to school. We will be keeping Days 101 + for the summer term and giving some of you a chance to get caught up.
Reading - reading book and /or a book of your choosing

Numeracy/ Time Booklet
Book 1
You will be revising mixed o' clock and half past times
Page 16 and 17 Read the times on the analogue clocks and write the time in words and as a digital time in the space below.
Book 2
Page 17 You will be telling the time one hour, half an hour or a quarter of an hour from a given time. This is called duration and is an important part of learning to tell the time. It helps to think of a full turn as being an hour, a half turn is half an hour and a quarter turn or a right angle is a quarter of an hour. You will have answered questions about turns in our daily mental maths booklets
Question 1 . Draw the hands on the clock to show 5 o'clock. You are now asked to draw the time one hour later. If you add 1 hour onto 5 o'clock you get 6 o'clock. Draw this time on the analogue clock and write it as a digital time on the digital clock
Use a ruler to draw the hands neatly.
Book 3
On these pages you will learn how to tell " 20 past times" in both analogue and digital formats.
Page 19 When telling the time, the long hand tells us the minutes and the short hand tells us the hour. The first clock's long hand is pointing to the 4, which if you look closely is 20 little dots past o'clock. The hour hand is pointing ever so slightly past the 1 . Put both together and the time is 20 minutes past 1. In digital time, the hour comes first and then the minutes so 20 past 1 becomes 1:20.
Write both analogue and digital times under each clock on page 19.
Page 18- this will be relatively easy for you now. Use a ruler and pencil to draw hands on the blank clocks to show the given times. Remember the minute hand is the longer one. Make sure your clock hands are straight ( use a ruler) and that one is slightly longer than the other. Neither hand should be drawn on top of the numbers. If they are then they're too long so please correct them 😜Write the digital time below each clock.

On these pages you will learn how to tell " 10 past times" in both analogue and digital formats.
Complete page 17 first ( I've put these in the wrong order, sorry! )
Page 17 When telling the time, the long hand tells us the minutes and the short hand tells us the hour. The first clock's long hand is pointing to the 2, which if you look closely is 10 little dots past o'clock. The hour hand is pointing ever so slightly past the 2 . Put both together and the time is 10 minutes past 2. In digital time, the hour comes first and then the minutes so 10 past 2 becomes 2:10.
10 uses both of the spaces for minutes so you don't need a 0 this time

Conjunctions
Conjunctions join together two different, but related, parts of a sentence.
They can be words like: and, but, if, when, because
For example: I like swimming and she likes dancing.
'Because' is a really useful conjunction. We can use it to explain how or why something is the case.
For example: I felt sick because I went on the roller coaster twice!
In this sentence the second part of the sentence " I went on the rollercoaster twice "explains why I felt sick
I washed my hands because they were dirty. The second part of the sentence explains why I washed my hands
Watch the BBC bitesize video here before beginning today's work
Group 1 and 2 Complete Page 1 and 2 in your booklet today. You will be using the conjunctions but or so on page 1 and before or because on page 2.

Numeracy
It's an investigation today and one I think you'll enjoy.
Buckets Galore Lisa is going to the seaside with her class. Her job is to give all 25 pupils a different bucket so they don't get mixed up. Lisa only has three colours of paint; red, blue and yellow. Thankfully the buckets all have three stripes and she doesn't have to use all three colours on each bucket.
Your task is to help her paint all 25 buckets so they are all different. I've added a photo of my sheet below. Can you work out a system to get all the different combinations?

Numeracy
Today's numeracy is the same as yesterday's except you will measuring and drawing lines to the nearest half cm. You will need a ruler, a sharp pencil and maybe a rubber.
Have a look at the photos below before you begin
1. Make sure you use the cm side of your ruler.
2. Put the 0 at the start of the line. Look at where the line ends. The lines may not be exact so write them to the nearest half cm.
3. Write the length of the line on top of the line and put cm beside it.
4. When drawing lines make sure you begin at the 0 and hold the ruler steady so you don't have a wobbly end on your line.
Group 1 - complete pages 21-25
Group 2 - complete pages 21-24 Extend to page 25
Group 3 - complete pages 21 and 22 Extend to page 24 You don't need to complete page 23 .
Page 24 Can you estimate the length of the lines on page 24? Put your ruler away and write your estimate on the top of each line. Then measure them and write the correct length where it says Ans___
Please do not be tempted to cheat. I don't expect you to be able to estimate these all exactly.

World Book Day
As today is World Book Day I would like you to find some time this afternoon to choose a book you love or you are currently reading. Curl up somewhere cosy and comfortable and just enjoy your book. It might be a Harry Potter novel, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Tom Gates , Captain Underpants, a comic, an annual or the Guinness Book of World Records. The type of book isn't important, taking the time to sit somewhere quiet to relax with a book is!
If you prefer to listen to someone else reading to you then you can listen to several audio books here. some of them appear to be just the first two chapters. Sherlock Holmes seems to be the complete story . You can listen to it here Don't forget you can download lots of ebooks and audio books for free on the Libraries NI website
I know there are lots of David Walliam's fans in year 4 so thought you might like to explore his website today.
There are lots of Roald Dahl fans too
If Harry Potter is your favourite book character then perhaps you'd like to answer these questions to discover which house you would belong to.

I have written about researching an animal on your timetable but please ignore this, It was a mistake on my part
Today's literacy is to write an acrostic poem about an animal of your choice on the last page in your booklet. I'll add a pic below.
In an acrostic poem, the first letter of each line spells a word. The word is the subject of the poem.

Length - today and tomorrow you are going to be learning( or in some cases practising) how to measure lines accurately with a ruler and how to draw lines of a given length. Before you begin go and get a ruler, a sharp pencil and a rubber.
Length - today and tomorrow you are going to be learning( or in some cases practising) how to measure lines accurately with a ruler and how to draw lines of a given length. Before you begin go and get a ruler, a sharp pencil and a rubber.
Rulers often show centimetres on one side and inches on the other. We are going to use the centimetre side which has a cm on it. Centimetres cms are smaller than inches in.
Todays's pages are 18, 19 and 20
Question 1
To measure the length of a line make sure you place the ruler below the line you want to measure with the 0 at the beginning of the line.
Do not measure from the edge of the ruler.
These lines should all be full centimetres but if they aren't exact, then please measure them to the nearest whole cm.
Write the length of the line on the top of the line like this
5cm
Question 2
To rule a line of a given length make sure your ruler is the right way around. Put the 0 of your ruler on the dot I have drawn on the page and hold the ruler to stop it moving as you draw a line. This can be tricky for some children, so please practise on a piece of scrap paper before completing today's pages.I do not want to see wobbly lines or lines with a wobbly at the end where your ruler slipped. Your lines should look like the ones in question 1, if they do not then rub them out and repeat.

Literacy
Contractions can be used to join two separate words in order to create one shorter word. We do this by using an apostrophe (') to show that we have left out some letters when joining words together.
For example, you can join the words you and are together to create the word you're.
However, sometimes you need to rearrange the letters a bit when you contract the words.
For example: will and not can be contracted to create the word won't.

Group 1 and 2 - please complete the first two. The first one is just a simple contraction match sheet. The second sheet is called ' How many contractions can you see?' Read the passage and underline all the contractions.
How many did you find? Write the total at the bottom of the page. Then, in your exercise book, I'd like you to write out the contractions from the passage and turn them back into two words e.g
29/02/21 Walt: understand how contractions are formed from two words
they're - they are
hadn't -
and so on
Group 3 - please complete the first two. The first one is just a simple contraction match sheet. The second sheet is called ' How many contractions can you see?' Read the passage and underline all the contractions. How many did you find? Write the total at the bottom of the page.

Last day of the week Year 4 ! I hope you've had a good week so far. I'm not going to set any new literacy tasks today to give you the chance to get any unfinished activities completed. If you have a look on Purplemash, I have set a 'design your own game' 2do which some of you might enjoy later today instead. This is optional so don't feel that you have to do it! If you prefer to get outside or do something artistic then do that instead.
Today's activities are as follows:
Spellings - ask someone to call out any 10 of this weeks spellings
Tables Hit the button and maths games on Purplemash
Phonics - Choose 5 spelling words and use them in your own sentences. Remember to use at least 7 words. (Leave this to the end and complete it if you have time)

Today's numeracy is an investigation called Coloured Tiles. This is an activity which really makes you think!
Jason has 9 tiles altogether. Three are blue, three are red and three are yellow.
The rule is that all the tiles must be used to form a square but you cannot put tiles of the same colour beside each other
( on the vertical or horizontal lines, diagonal is fine). My advice is to write the first letter of each colour on each tile before you colour them all in. This way any mistakes are easier to fix. NO NOT USE FELT TIP PENS for this activity . mistakes are impossible to correct if you make a mistake. I have added photos of my pages below. Can you discover a way to get all the possible patterns? How many ways can you find to make different squares. Be careful as it's very easy to make the exact same square twice.
Note : If we were in school I would be showing you 9 large coloured squares which we could move around 😢.
It might help you if you make some 9 small coloured squares and cut them out before you begin.

Today we are going to continue with "End Stops". End stops are the punctuation marks we use at the end of a sentence and include a full stop, a question mark and an exclamation mark.
Remember
Full stops go at the end of sentences
A question mark goes on the end of every question. It shows the reader a question is being asked. Questions often start with who, what, where, when, how or why.
An exclamation mark is used to show surprise, force, excitement or anger. It helps make the meaning of the sentence clear for the reader and helps them to understand what characters are feeling.
See Monday's literacy for a video link
Your literacy booklet has 6 pages on Endstops.
Group 1 Complete sheet 4-6
Group 2 Complete sheets 4 and 5 Extend to sheet 6
Group 3 Complete sheet 3 Extend to sheet 4
I have no preference on these being completed on the sheet or written out into literacy classwork books. This is an exercise in understanding not handwriting so please do what suits your situation the best.

Remember
Full stops go at the end of sentences
A question mark goes on the end of every question. It shows the reader a question is being asked. Questions often start with who, what, where, when, how or why.
An exclamation mark is used to show surprise, force, excitement or anger. It helps make the meaning of the sentence clear for the reader and helps them to understand what characters are feeling.
See Monday's literacy for a video link
Your literacy booklet has 6 pages on Endstops.
Group 1 Complete sheet 4-6
Group 2 Complete sheets 4 and 5 Extend to sheet 6
Group 3 Complete sheet 3 Extend to sheet 4

There are still a few parents who I have not been able to speak to during the last week of term. I am hoping to phone you today, so please do answer any withheld numbers during school hours.
Good morning year 4! I had been really hopeful that the pack you are about to begin was going to be the final one. I was so looking forward to returning to school to "normality" and seeing you all again. Hopefully it won't be too long until we can get back to the classroom.
Your new topics for this pack are as follows :
Numeracy : fractions and length( measuring and drawing lines)
Literacy : end stops and contractions. Independent writing will be a report and an animal acrostic poem
WAU : Our new topic is Birds, Bugs and Beasts. This is one of my favourite topics especially the birds part. As the weather improves and we get to spend more time outdoors, I'm hoping you will be able to observe some of our native birds in your garden or when you are out for a walk. If you don't already have a bird feeder in your garden, this may be something you would like to do. The birds really need our help at this time of year when there isn't very much food around and the ground is often frozen.
This booklet has lots of information in it so should last us more than two weeks( I had planned to complete it in school with you all )
Tables You will have either a x8 booklet or a booklet to consolidate your x2,5 and 10 times tables. Try to complete one page from this each day( or two if you're on a roll )
Spellings - the next two week's sounds are "i" and 'u'
High Frequency Word Assessment - I cannot stress enough the importance of being able to read and spell our most used words. You will have a few sheets in your pack depending on which words you are working on. I shall explain what to do with this in due course.

Tables Hit the button multiply by 8
Write your 8 times tables out into your homework diary. Can you see the link between the 4's and the 8's?
4 x 5 =20 so 8x 5 = 40 because 40 is double 20.
Revise x 2,5,10 and develop quick recall when they are mixed up.
Check purple mash for a 'times table to do'
Phonics - read your spelling words and highlight the different ways of making this week's sound

Today we are going to look at "End Stops". End stops are the punctuation marks we use at the end of a sentence and include a full stop, a question mark and an exclamation mark. How do we know which one to use ?
Full stops go at the end of sentences
A question mark goes on the end of every question. It shows the reader a question is being asked. Questions often start with who, what, where, when, how or why.
An exclamation mark is used to show surprise, force, excitement or anger. It helps make the meaning of the sentence clear for the reader and helps them to understand what characters are feeling.
Here is a link to two videos and an interactive activity . Please watch them and complete the activity before doing today's written activities. There are two more activities( 2 and 3 )which could be used for extension purposes.
Your literacy booklet has 6 pages on Endstops.
Group 1 Complete sheet 1-3
Group 2 Complete sheets 1and 2 Extend to sheet 3
Group 3 Complete sheet 1 Extend to sheet 2

Fractions . We use fractions everyday without ever really thinking about. E.g if you share a pizza between the children in your family, it is vital that all the slices are the same size! What about sharing out a packet of sweets or cutting an apple in half? We understand the concept of fractions before we learn how to write them.
What is a fraction?
Watch this video and complete the quiz
A fraction means a part of something or a number of parts of something.
There are two parts to a fraction:
Group 1 and 2 Complete page 1 and 2 in your booklet Shading shapes
Group 3 Complete page 1 Shading shapes
Simple fractions of numbers
To find half of a number we divide the number into two equal parts.
To find a quarter of a number we can divide the half into another two equal parts
e.g 1 whole = 8 1/2 = 4 1/4 = 2
1 whole = 24 1/2 = 12 1/4 = 6
Complete page 3 and 4 in your booklet .
Daily 10 has a good game to reinforce halves of numbers . Select level 2 to begin with and choose amounts up to 24 or 40. Perhaps you could do both. Jot your answers down and check them at the end. Extend to level 3 for quarters of numbers. Use your x4 times tables to help you.

Read through the living organism cards and have a look at the flowchart.
Animals can be classified as either vertebrates or invertebrates.
Vertebrates video here
Vertebrates are animals that have a backbone inside their body. The major groups include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.
Invertebrates don't have a backbone. They either have a soft body, like worms and jellyfish, or a hard outer casing covering their body, like spiders and crabs.
Watch this video and complete the interactive quiz before completing the Vertebrate and Invertebrate Sort sheet in your booklet. Cut out the pictures of 20 animals on page 6 and stick them into the correct column on page 5 ( I've just realised I forgot to number the pages. Sorry!)

In your folder you will find a sheet that looks similar to the photograph on the left below. Everyone in year 4 has been given one page to colour. I have one too! When the sheets are returned to school, I want to put them together on our noticeboard in the corridor to create a rainbow picture like the one on the right below. Please complete your sheet whenever you are in the mood to colour beautifully- please don't rush this just to get it finished. I'm hoping we can create a masterpiece together. Pictures of the finished artwork will be posted here in a couple of weeks time when all sheets are returned to school. Pop it into your folder as soon as you finish it to keep it safe. Thank you !!

Book 1
You will be revising half past times
Page 12 Draw the hands on the clocks to show the given times. Can you write these digitally too?
Use a ruler to draw the hands neatly.
Page 13 What time is it? Read the times on the analogue clocks and write the time as a digital time in the box below.
Book 2
You will be revising the 4 quarter times on digital clocks today.
pages 11-14 Read the analogue clocks on each page and write the time in digital format underneath each clock. Choose from :00, :30, : 15, : 45
Book 3
Page 12 Read a clock face
Fill in the clock face with the details given . They are all written in the correct order
Page 13 When looking at how to write the digital times for past the hour you will notice we learn the 5 minute intervals first. e.g :05, :10, :15, :20, :25, :30 and so on
Page 14 - 15
On these pages you will learn how to tell " 5 past times" in both analogue and digital formats.
Complete page 15 first ( I've put these in the wrong order, sorry! ) When reading the time, the long hand tells us the minutes and the short hand tells us the hour. The first clock's long hand is pointing to the 1 which if you look closely is 5 little dots past o'clock. The hour hand is pointing ever so slightly past the 5 . Put both together and the time is 5 past 5. In digital time, the hour comes first and then the minutes so 5 past 5 becomes 5:05 . Don't forget about the 0. It's really important!! Write both analogue and digital times under each clock on page 15.
page 14- this will be relatively easy for you now. Use a ruler and pencil to draw hands on the blank clocks to show the given times. Remember the minute hand is the longer one. Make sure your clock hands are straight ( use a ruler) and that one is slightly longer than the other. Neither hand should be drawn on top of the numbers. If they are then they're too long so please correct them 😜

I was emailed this today and though it was a perfect art project for year 4. It's from a website called ArtyCrafty kids and the templates are free to download here. You do need to sign up first but it's free.
There's a video to show you what to do here. Just click and scroll down the page
If you don't want to use the heart template, here is another example using pieces of coloured paper. I've done this one with my year 5 art class in school before and they were really quite striking.

Page 10 On this page you will draw the given time on the second clock (1/4 past 4). The instructions say "an hour before" so you are going to imagine your clock going back an hour 1/4 past 4 minus an hour = 1/4 past 3.

Choose the best word to fit each space. They are all used only once, so you can cross them out as you use them. When you have filled in all the blanks, make sure you read it all again to check it makes sense.
This site is interesting but you may need some help to navigate it . The story about Sheila the elephant is particularly heart-warming and was made into a film called Zoo Watch the trailer here.
I hope we can watch it together when we return to school! 😍🙏
Have a good day Year 4. I hope we will all be back to school soon.

14 YEAR OLD MARY’S EVACUATION LETTERS-PART1
Letter1. Page i
I am quite well and I hope you are. We had a very nice journey here and for the first night slept in the school. Then on Wednesday we came here. The lady is quite kind to us and the house is clean. We have a room between us and sleep together in the same bed. It is a double bed and we are quite warm. There is no bathroom here, so I don’t know what we’ll do for a bath. The lavatory is outside and first of all there was only newspaper there. We don’t have much water to wash in, and there’s only gaslight. We spoke to Miss Watts as the place is small and poky and she is going to move us soon, but we will have to stay here for a day or two. We only have our own towels as the lady has not supplied us with others. We are near two of my friends, and they want to be moved also. Miss Watts doesn’t like these houses so I expect we shall move soon. Xxxxxxx

During the war the government communicated with people via the wireless ( radio to you and me ) and posters. These posters would have been placed in areas where they would be seen by the largest numbers of people e.g train stations, shop windows, village halls, church notice boards.
They are a form of 'Visual Propaganda" which means they were used to change and influence the people's thoughts and behaviours during the war.
Below are some examples of the more well known WW2 posters. Have a look at them . Your task is to design your own poster. I have linked to a downloadable template or you are free to use your own page/paper.

Book 2 Last week we revised present tense . So this week it's past tenses page 98-99
The present tense is used when something is happening now or happens regularly.
Present tense verbs can end in -ing and when they do, they have am, is or are before them.
For example:
I am walking to the shop.
They are going to see their friends.
Spelling rules for forming tenses There are some spelling rules to think about when you add the suffixes -ing and -ed to verbs.
1. For words ending in two consonants, just add the suffix to the root word.
Top tip!
2. For words that end in a short vowel sound followed by a consonant, you need to double the last letter then add the suffix.
For example: mop + -ed = mopped or mop + -ing = mopping
3. For words ending in a consonant followed by an ’e’, you need to drop the ‘e’ before you add the suffix.
For example: love + -ed = loved or love + -ing = loving
4. For words that end in a consonant and a ‘y’, change the ‘y’ to an ‘i’ and then add the suffix.
For example: cry + -ed = cried
For -ing, you keep the original ‘y’ in the root so that you don’t end up with a double ‘i’.
For example: cry + -ing = crying
Past tenseThe past tense is used for things that have already happened.
Past tense verbs often end in -ed.
For example: I walked to the shop.
Top tip!
I bent down to pick up a penny. (not 'bended')
She swam three lengths in the swimming pool. (not 'swimmed')
These are called irregular verbs

Spelling rules for forming tenses There are some spelling rules to think about when you add the suffixes -ing and -ed to verbs.
1. For words ending in two consonants, just add the suffix to the root word.
Top tip!
- Vowels are the letters a, e, i, o and u. Consonants are all the other letters.
- Root words are the basic words that are used to form other words.
2. For words that end in a short vowel sound followed by a consonant, you need to double the last letter then add the suffix.
For example: mop + -ed = mopped or mop + -ing = mopping
3. For words ending in a consonant followed by an ’e’, you need to drop the ‘e’ before you add the suffix.

Past tenseThe past tense is used for things that have already happened.
Past tense verbs often end in -ed.
For example: I walked to the shop.
Top tip!
- Not all past tenses are written like this as there are exceptions which need to be learned separately.
I bent down to pick up a penny. (not 'bended')
She swam three lengths in the swimming pool. (not 'swimmed')
These are called irregular verbs

The best way to learn to tell the time is by reading your own watch. I can still remember getting a Timex child's watch with a blue strap for my 7th birthday. It had holes in the strap. Ask your grandparents if they had one too 😎
If you are finding time difficult, may I suggest asking for a watch for your next birthday? Perhaps you could buy one with some christmas money?
Telling the time is just like so many other things we have to learn to do . The more we practise ; the better we become !
Have a good day Year 4 !

Good morning Year 4! Middle of the week today. If we think of the 5 school days as being on a hill then today is the day when we reach the top 😎

Literacy - Independent Writing
Group 1+2 - An Underwater Adventure
Today I would like you to write a story about an underwater adventure. I want you to imagine that you are under the sea. How did you get there? Why are you there? What kind of things do you get up to? Do you live there( like a mermaid or merman) or are you travelling in a submarine? Can you think of some other reasons you may be underwater?
All stories need something exciting to happen. Can you think of an exciting/ scary situation which allows you to create some suspense and drama? Are there any strange or scary creatures lurking in an underwater cave? Do you meet anyone? What is the problem that needs solved?
Use your imagination to make your story as interesting and exciting as possible!
Before you write the story in full. Take 5 minutes to write or jot down a brief outline of your ideas.
Think of them in the following steps
Step 1 Think of an underwater setting
Step 2 Create a character or characters
Step 3 The beginning
Step 4 A conflict or problem
Step 5 The turning point in the story
Step 6 The solution
and finally
Step 7 The ending where everything comes together
When you have a clear idea of the story you want to tell; it will be so much easier to write it with more details.
Just like last week our WALT and WILF will be:
WALT write a narrative
WILF ( What I'm Looking For)
Different ways to start sentences - Later, Next, Soon, Suddenly, Eventually, The next step, At first, Finally (remember you can only use 'then' twice in your story!!!) Put a comma after these starting words. e.g. Finally, Mrs Reain stopped talking and I could begin to write my story.
Interesting Verbs
Remember that you don't start a sentence with 'and' or 'because'
7 up rule - sentences should have 7 or more words in them. To extend your sentences use adjectives or joining words (conjunctions) such as so, and, because.
Use commas for lists
Capital letters and full stops are extremely important!
Remember a sentence should have no more than one 'and'
If you can use paragraphs then have a go. Write a paragraph for the introduction, a paragraph for the main part of your story and a paragraph for the ending/conclusion.
I'm looking forward to reading these Year 4!

There are many resources here which may prove useful
I have linked to the lesson on Anne Frank who we normally discuss during our WW2 topic.
This is another useful website which I have used successfully with the children in school in previous years. It opens up a lot of scope for discussion about what life would have been like for Anne during the years she was in hiding.
If you would like to read more about Anne I have attached a file below to read and one to think about what you would take with you if you had to go into hiding.

Literacy
Apostrophes are used in two ways
1. To make a word smaller / contractions
e.g. was not becomes wasn't
do not becomes don't
2. To show that one thing belongs to or is connected to something/ possession
e.g. The dog's nose is wet.
Mrs Reain's dog is called Rose.
Mrs Vaughan's dogs are called Pippa and Biscuit.
How to use a possessive apostrophe
1. For singular nouns, add apostrophe + s, for example:

1. For singular nouns, add apostrophe + s, for example:
- The dog’s leash
- The writer’s desk
- The planet’s atmosphere
Before you begin the apostrophe booklet have a look at the picture below. It is important that you understand the difference between a plural word and a word when you use an 's to show possession.
Do not add an apostrophe to the end of every word ending in s!

Friday 29th January
Good morning Year 4! Can you believe it's Friday again? I'm going to go easy on you today as it's the last day of our first home learning pack. You have completed A LOT of different activities over the last fortnight and we are so incredibly proud of you all. Keep it up when you can.
The new pack is ready for collection later this morning so I'd like you to do the following 2 activities first so that you can pop the booklets into your folder of work to return to school. The overlap with old and new packs isn't ideal but we are trying to minimise footfall in school as much as possible.
First thing today is the evacuation comprehension in your WW2 pack. Children started being evacuated on 1st September 1939 before war was declared on the 3rd. The operation was nicknamed "Operation Pied Piper".
Watch this video clip and then answer the questions. You don't need to write a full sentence today, a one or two word answer is enough. 😍 It is Friday after all!

Group 1+2 - The Magic Escalator
Today I would like you to write a story about a magic escalator. I want you to imagine that you have gone to the shopping centre with you family and you get onto the escalator. The escalator should take you to the next floor but instead it takes you somewhere different, somewhere magical!
Where does the escalator take you? To the jungle? To Disney Land? Into a computer game like Minecraft? Have a think where your magic escalator is going to take you. Be as creative as you like.
All stories need something exciting to happen, so what happens when you arrive in this place? Do you meet anyone? What is the problem that needs solved?
To conclude your story you will need to make it back to the escalator and go back downstairs to your family!
Use your imagination! Make your story as interesting as possible. Be creative and enjoy!
Just like last week our WALT and WILF will be:
WALT write a narrative
WILF
Different ways to start sentences - Later, Next, Soon, Suddenly, Finally (remember you can only use 'then' twice in your story!!!)
Interesting verbs
Remember that you don't start a sentence with 'and' or 'because'
7 up rule - sentences should have 7 or more words in them. To extend your sentences use adjectives or joining words (conjunctions) such as so, and, because.
Use commas for lists
Capital letters and full stops are extremely important!
Remember a sentence should have no more than one 'and'
If you can use paragraphs then have a go. Write a paragraph for the introduction, a paragraph for the main part of your story and a paragraph for the ending/conclusion.
Now have a go at writing your story. If you can, please take a photograph of your story and upload it on Purple Mash. You can also type up your story and send me the document through Purple Mash. If you can not do this, don't worry as I will be collecting the stories in on Friday.

7 up rule - sentences should have 7 or more words in them. To extend your sentences use adjectives or joining words (conjunctions) such as so, and, because.
Use commas for lists
Capital letters and full stops are extremely important!
Remember a sentence should have no more than one 'and'
If you can use paragraphs then have a go. Write a paragraph for the introduction, a paragraph for the main part of your story and a paragraph for the ending/conclusion.
Now have a go at writing your story. If you can, please take a photograph of your story and upload it on Purple Mash. You can also type up your story and send me the document through Purple Mash. If you can not do this, don't worry as I will be collecting the stories in on Friday.

E.g. Write the number between
156 and 158 The number in the middle that is missing will be 157 because we count 156, 157, 158
But be careful because this page tries to trick you!
E.g. Write the number between
847 and 845 The number in the middle is not 848 that some people will write, but it is in fact 846 because we count 847, 846, 845 (we are counting backwards!) Watch out for this!
This page can trick you, so take you time and read the question carefully - don't rush!

Friday 22nd January
Good morning year 4. Can you believe that's another week over? It has been so lovely to speak to most of you this week and to your parents( we shall try again today ). We are so pleased with all your efforts so far and appreciate everything both you and your parents are doing while we remain in lockdown.
We would like to remind parents that we do NOT expect every piece of work to be completed every day. We both have young children and know too well the struggles of trying to keep all the plates spinning at the moment. We would ask that you focus on the following activities throughout the week/weekend if possible : spellings, tables, reading ( reading books from school and own books ), literacy and numeracy. If the literacy is a comprehension please tell the children that a one or two word answer is acceptable under the circumstances. We appreciate that lots of writing can be very off putting for young children and often ends up in refusal. Encourage them to cross out each activity on the weekly timetable as they complete it. It will give them a sense of achievement.

Literacy
Today is independent writing!
You will find the sheets in you home folder.
Read the story: How Turtle got His Shell. You can listen to the story being read and see the pictures here - How Turtle Got His Shell.
Now you need to discuss, with an adult or older brother/sister, alternative titles for similar stories.
E.g. How Lion got His Mane
How Zebra got Her Stripes
How Panda got His Patches
Decide on a title for your story. Now orally tell your story to an adult. Make sure the start of your story sets the scene - where is your character, what are the doing? Then the middle of your story should be the exciting part - how your character gets their distinctive feature. Ending - how the story ends. Is your character happy, what do others think?
Closing line in your story should be 'That is how ____ got their ______.'
WALT write a narrative
WILF
Different ways to start sentences - Later, Next, Soon, Suddenly, Finally (remember you can only use 'then' twice in your story!!!)
Interesting verbs
Remember that you don't start a sentence with 'and' or 'because'
7 up rule - sentences should have 7 or more words in them. To extend your sentences use adjectives or joining words (conjunctions) such as so, and, because.
Use commas for lists
Capital letters and full stops are extremely important!
Remember a sentence should have no more than one 'and'
Be careful: Don't write: The tiger went to play he was happy.
You need a joining word as your sentence in telling me two things.
Instead write: The tiger went to play and he was happy.
If you can use paragraphs then have a go. Write a paragraph for the introduction, a paragraph for the main part of your story and a paragraph for the ending/conclusion.
Now have a go at writing your story. If you can, please take a photograph of your story and upload it on Purple Mash. You can also type up your story and send me the document through Purple Mash. If you can not do this, don't worry as I will be collecting the stories in next week.

Reading - find a quiet space and read or look through some of your favourite books. If you have a younger sibling, can you read them a story while mum or dad or granny has a cup of tea?
This would most definitely earn you some brownie points😜
Please remember Year 4 that not all learning takes place in the classroom. I hope you are all helping in your home, garden or farm. Perhaps you are setting the table for mealtimes and helping tidy up afterwards, brushing up leaves in the garden. keeping your own room tidy, bedding the newborn calves or lambs. These are always appreciated by us adults but even more so now , when we are still working and trying to juggle everything. I look forward to talking to you all at the beginning of next week and can't wait to hear how you're all getting on.

Thursday 14th January
Good morning Year 4! I hope you've had a good week so far and have been enjoying revisiting some topics we've learned in school.
Spellings - no new spellings to learn today but it's important that you revise the ones you have had so far this week and work on any you're unsure of. I hope you've been writing them out in your homework diaries as normal as I'd like to check your diaries when we return to school 🙏.
Tables - practise using money again today but this time can you get some real coins (or toy ones if you have them ) . Can you set out some coins and count how much you have?
I had put up links to some Twinkl go games last week but had forgotten to mention that these are free for the month of January . I do apologise! You just have to sign up for it or if you had a free account last year then sign in again. The games are excellent and offer some variety for the children
Piggy bank money counting game Select either 1,2 or 3 star difficulty
Money interactive game This game allows you to identify the various coins and bank notes we use in Northern Ireland
Literacy
Today's Literacy lessons are as follows:
Year 3 Book/ Fact Retrieval 2- Read the extract from Alice in Wonderland on page 26 and answer the challenges on pages 26 and 27. Remember to read the passage at least twice before having a look at the questions. If you're unsure of a word , underline it and break it up using our vowel, consonant split strategy. If there are words you don't know the meaning of , can you use a dictionary to look them up?
Can you remember what an adjective is ?

If you finished that activity quite quickly then you could complete one( or more ) of the following worksheets. Either download it or write your answers on a page and stick it into your Collins workbook.

Try to get as much done as you can. Yesterday's starter tests were quite long so today's activities will be shorter to give you time to catch up.

Telling the Time
Click on the link below to take you to an interactive game.
You can select the level of difficulty. Begin with o'c clock, then 1/2 past the hour. Extending to the quarter hour if possible.
mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/116/telling-the-time
Literacy
Please try to complete the starter test in your Collins book today if you didn't get it completed yesterday. Today's Literacy lessons are as follows:
Year 3 / Fact Retrieval- Read the short passage about The Roman Empire on page 24 and answer the questions on pages 24 and 25. Remember to read the passage at least twice before having a look at the questions. If you're unsure of a word , underline it and break it up using our vowel, consonant split strategy. If there are words you don't know the meaning of , can you use a dictionary to look them up? Perhaps you could even "ask Alexa or Siri " what they mean :)
Year 2/ Ordering Things - Have a look at the pictures to go with The Three Billy Goats Gruff story on page 32 . Can you number them in the correct order? This powerpoint will tell you the story
