Spring Term Home Learning Information for Year Four

This term, the home learning expectations are as follows:

Each week, there will be times table practice and either a written consolidation or MyMaths task set. (30 minutes) Each week, the children will take part in a times table test.

In school, we have a weekly focus on a spelling rule. A list of spellings to learn that follow the week's rule will be provided. (20 minutes) Class teachers will test each week's spelling list.

Children should read with an adult at least three times a week at home. Where possible, this could be every day. Renaissance Home Connect enables parents to see information about your child's progress within Accelerated Reader. Reading Diaries will be checked weekly by class teachers. 

This home learning will be set on a Thursday and will be due in the following Tuesday. Home learning will recommence on Thursday 9th January 2020.

Elves Home Learning

Thank you so much for your support with our Elves puzzle last week. We have had some very inventive solutions from the children.

We've also had some requests for a solution so here goes:-

There were four elves, four coloured outfits and three items of clothing.

So let's start with this:-

If the elves only had coloured hats then there would be four possible hats that they could wear.

Expanding this to hats and jackets then for each coloured hat there are four coloured jacket options (4 x 4 = 16).

With trousers too there are four new options for each hat and jacket combination, so 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 possible different outfits each.

Thank you for all of your support with Home Learning tasks this term and best wishes for a Happy Christmas from everyone in the Year Four Team

4AW My Maths

Sorry that the MyMaths tasks for this week did not appear on the system over the weekend. I have now rectified the problem and they are set. Needless to say they do not need to be complete for tomorrow, so please work on them through the week.
