Maths
If you have the time, and you still want to complete this week’s arithmetic tasks I will still attach them below.
Premiership If you emailed me your child’s score I will email you telling you whether your child has moved on to the next times table or needs to look at the same times table as last week. They are ordered below.
Mental Arithmetic
We always follow Premiership with a mental arithmetic test. Usually, I play them an audio clip of a lady reading out the questions. They are timed so all you need is hit play!
If you can’t get the audio above to play, then I’ll attach the questions and the answers below. With the first 10 questions, the children get 5 seconds to answer after the question is repeated. On the last five questions, the children get 10. We have tried to encourage the children to listen to the question the first time and jot down anything they think will help and once the question is repeated, then they can answer. If they have jotted notes down to help, then they can always return to the question if they have finished another question quite easily.

Afterwards, we mark it and go through some of the questions and talk about how we could answer them quickly.
English- Please see Mrs Hilditch’s above.
Spelling Test- Please test your child on this weeks spelling. We will not be giving any spellings out over half term however, I will be adding the Year 3/4 spellings list below. These are spellings that children are expected to know by the end of Year 4. You will notice that some of these spellings have been given in your children’s weekly spellings.

Reading
Usually on a Friday we don’t do a whole Guided Reading session but rather get the children to have 20-30 minutes of quiet, independent reading. It allows the children a little down time and is considered a mindful activity. Perhaps, even play some some calming music in the background to help them relax during this strange time. If you want, send us in a photo of the children reading and we can print it off and stick them to our reading journal wall!
Science
We have finished all of our RE for this term so to round off our Science topic I thought we could have a double Science lesson.
Activity 1– We want to round off our Science unit in a fun and practical way so we thought, why not give the children the chance to make a magentic game. Please read the PP first so you know what to do. There are 3 options- Racing cars, Hook a Fish/Duck, Escaping Mazes or you can make up your own! You will need glue, scissors, paperclips, paper/card and a magnet at least to make one of these. Templates are below to help you if you want. Have a look at this website to give you an idea about escaping mazes.
If you do make one, we would love to see it so send us in some pictures!
Activity 2- At the end of every unit, the children would normally complete an end of unit assessment to see how much they have learnt. Now, all the lessons planned this half term should have allowed the children the time to learn this key information. Have a go at the test and see how they do. Some of the questions might just require a little logical thinking rather than some fancy scientific answer. ANSWERS ARE AT THE BOTTOM.
