Yr 4 work for the remainder of this week and next week
English
We have been reading The Balaclava Story by George Layton and have started to think about writing our own stories. Lots of the class have already planned out their own stories based on the Balaclava Story but if you haven’t, below is a plan to help you. Then start to write your story.
Remember the things we have been working on such as the new line, new speaker rule, the use of fronted adverbials, short sentences for impact and use of more adventurous vocabulary. Perhaps write a little bit of your story each day.
Also, I have attached the Yr3/4 spelling list. Perhaps choose ten new spelling words to learn each week.
Mathematics
Please continue to do what we normally do each morning and investigate a number. Perhaps make a poster of information about the number you have chosen so we can display them when we get back into school!
We are looking again at adding and subtracting whole numbers and solving word problems. Please use the links below to access available worksheets.

Just to challenge you further, there is a Thinking Tom statement to investigate:
The larger the number the more factors it has.
Remember you have to decide whether the statement is true, sometimes true or completely false. Convince me!
Also, please continue to learn your times tables! It would be lovely if you could make your own times table game, complete with instructions, to help you and your family members learn their times tables.
History
I gave out the Anglo-Saxon and Scots booklets on Tuesday. Please try to do one lesson a week. Remember we talked about using the Internet to find out more information about the Anglo-Saxons.
If you have not got the booklets, just research the Anglo-Saxons and then present your information as you want to such as in a poster or Power-Point.
