Spelling
Today you are going to practise some of your common exception word spellings. Below, there is an activity mat that will help you to use and spell your common exception words accurately. Please select your activity pack based on your group colour and work through the activities. If you don’t have a printer, that is fine – just complete the activities on paper.
Maths
Today, you are going to learn about equivalent fractions. This is new learning for Year 4.
Here is the link to a video that will teach you everything you need to know for this lesson, just as I would teach you in class: https://vimeo.com/504472462
After you have watched the video, have a go at answering the questions on the attached worksheet. Afterwards, you can mark your answers and ask a grown up to go through any mistakes you made that you don’t know how to correct.
Attached is a true or false for you to answer. Work through it and explain your answers. This is just a discussion to have with somebody else, you do not need to write anything down.
RE
This is our final week of learning about the five pillars of Islam. The final word to add to your pillars is Hajj. This is all about the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca. All Muslims try to make this pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime, depending on their circumstances.
Please read through the slides with a grown up and talk about the different stages. Then, try the quiz at the end and add the final word to your five pillars.
I hope you’ve enjoyed learning about this as much as I’ve enjoyed explaining it to you.
