Year 4 Covid Absence Home Learning

Hello Year 4,

Another great week of home learning, well done at home! We continue to be impressed by your hard work and resilience. We love seeing your work as you send it in! Thank you again to the adults at home supporting your children with their learning - you are doing a great job!

Please email your work to us at y4support@barley-hill.oxon.sch.uk so we can see how you are getting on with your learning.

We want to encourage you all to be reading regularly at home alongside your other learning. It is the most wonderful thing to relax and and escape whilst growing your brain! Try to find time each day to read. Year 4 can read independently and with an adult to build their confidence and reading skills.

Here's a suggested timetable for home learning, showing which lessons are live on Microsoft Teams at 12:00 each day, led by a year 4 teacher.

The live lesson will be the same lesson uploaded below, so please don't do it at home before the Microsoft Teams session.

We have tried to support home learning by choosing which lessons in the week will most benefit from being a teacher-led session, which means our timetable of subjects varies each week.

The BBC have published this amazing timetable of home learning! You are welcome to dip into it if you feel it would benefit your child alongside the curriculum we are providing from school. We're particularly looking forward to the Celebrity Supply Teacher!

Spellings - week 4

We will upload a new list of spellings to practice and learn at home each week, following spelling patterns. The spellings we practice in English lessons are from the compulsory Year 3/4 spelling list.

These focus on the same prefix 'sub''.

We encourage you to use a dictionary with your children if they are unsure of the word meaning and choose a range of strategies to rehearse and learn them.

MATHS: Division 

Science: Go on a scavenger hunt as part of your daily exercise with your twig spotter sheet! How many twigs can you find?

Determination

As we celebrate this month's school value, here is a certificate for you all! Email and tell us how you have shown determination at home, or tell us someone in your house who deserves this certificate and why!

Purple Mash: You have been set a 2do. Write a postcard from a place you would love to visit in America.

Use Mrs Womack's Power point and the fact files above to help you choose your destination. What would you tell the person about it? Download the files above in the topic section to help you. You can draw a picture on the front of the postcard and write about it.

PE

It sounds like lots of you are staying active with daily walks, cycles or joining in with Joe Wicks' PE. Here's to challenge to do with someone at home - try not to get too competitive!
