Hello Year 4!
Here are your home learning resources for Week 4 : 25th January 2021.
Thank you for all the great examples of work that you have been sending in – we have been very impressed with the quality and effort you have been putting in 🙂 (You and your parents/ grandparents of course!)
For Maths, again we will follow the White Rose video, presentation and worksheet. Remember, the first two pages of your worksheet are fluency (practising number facts) and the last two pages are problem solving or reasoning questions. Please WRITE the answers to the questions in your books with your working out. We will also look at bus-stop division in our Teams sessions so don’t panic if you find this a bit tricky at first.
Additional Maths support this week:
Please remember to send me just TWO pieces of work this week so that we can give you some feedback.
- Your edit and improve paragraph from Monday.
- Your happiness list poem.
This week Miss Jarvie will be in the classroom and Mrs Mitchell will teaching on Teams and your contact for remote learning queries amitchell@ashgreenprimary.co.uk
