ENGLISH MATHS ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES

MON Spelling Starter: Go to this link: tinyurl.com/cocovowels This game will play on any device. You have to put the missing vowels into the right word. It’s trickier than it looks!

Main Activity: Look at the Year 3/4 spelling list here: tinyurl.com/y34spellings Look at the first column, from accident(ally) to difficult. Get an adult to read each one out loud and you write each one down. How many can you spell? Once you have done it, you know which words you need to practise. These are your Target Words for the week.

Times table focus: By the end of the year, all Year 3 children need to know their 2, 5, 10, 3 and 4 times tables and ideally their 6 and 8 times table. Our year 4 children need to know all times tables up to 12x by the end of the year. Please continue to focus on Time Tables every Monday and practise throughout the week.

Write down your target times table, in order, in your Maths Home Learning book.

Write down your target times table, out of order, in your Maths Home Learning book.

Ask a parent/carer if you can

recite your target times tables. E.g. “one six is six, two sixes are twelve, three sixes are eighteen” etc.

Ask a parent/carer to ask

your timetable target out of order, e.g. “What is five multiplied by six? what is nine multiplied by six”

If confident, ask a

parent/carer to give you an inverse question, e.g. “ 36 divided by 6 is…”

Geography: Look at the example treasure map (RESOURCE 6). Follow the clues to find the treasure. The first letter of each thing you find spells a word. Design a treasure map using outline provided. They provide a starting four-figure grid reference and write clues to accompany the map. Use the 8-point compass to give directions to move from one place to another. Include at least 8 of the OS map symbols and 2 different land types, e.g. forest, as well as a hill.

TUE STARTER: Practise your Target Words from yesterday. MAIN ACTIVITY: Reading Comprehension This week, you will be focusing on answering questions about texts. Each link will take you to a text to read, then a set of questions. There is also an answers page for your adult to use. Try to write your answers fully- avoid using words like “it”, “he”, “she”. For example: QUESTION: Why was Little Red Riding Hood walking through the wood? BASIC ANSWER: To see her Grandma. BETTER ANSWER: She was going to see her Grandma. TOP ANSWER: Little Red Riding Hood was walking through the wood to see her Grandma. TODAY’S ACTIVITY:

Science: Focus: observing over time. I noticed my shadow was very long when I went home in the afternoon. How do our shadows change over a day? Does the sun rise and set at the same time every day? What’s the brightest or hottest part of the day? Measure your shadow at different times of the day (eg morning, lunch, dinner, bed time). If you have chalk you could draw around your shadow during each of these times.
