Year 4 Homework

Date set: 05.5.17   

Date Due in: 12.5.17

Reading (every day)

Please write in your reading diary when you have read. You will have been allocated a Bug Club book to read at home, which will be different to the one that you are reading in school. Check with your teacher if you are not sure which one is which. Don’t forget to answer the ‘bugs’- look out for them on each page! Please don’t “close” the book until all the bugs have been answered.

 

Maths (20mins):

Our topic this week is co-ordinates and translations. Maths work will be posted on Mathletics. If you have any problems accessing this work, please speak to the teacher for a paper copy. Please also practise your times tables and associated division facts (e.g. 7x6=42, 6x7=42 42 ÷7=6, 42÷6=7)

 

Literacy:

This week we have been looking at biographies. This week we would like you read a biography of somebody that you are interested in. You could look online or visit the library to find some examples. Read the biography and write down five new facts that you have found out about your person onto the blog.

 

Spellings (20mins):

These should be practised for a short time each day, using the words given in sentences.

You need to:

 • look at each word

• say the word

• copy the word in first space

• cover the words and try to write it from memory

• check to see if they are right

This week we are learning homophones. These are words which sound the same but have different meanings. It is important that  you learn the meaning of each word when you are learning your spellings this week.

  1. Malala Yousafzai
    5 Facts about Malala:

    • 5 years ago Malala was shot in the head by the terrorists in Afghanistan, just after she started secondary school. She was campaigning for girls to be able to go to school.

    • When she was being operated on, the surgeon put part of her head in her thigh to keep it fresh. But that part became rotten, so the surgeon put a metal piece in place of that part.

    • Malala's condition was so serious that she was moved first to Pakistan and then to England for better equipment.

    • Her dad inspired her to campaign and fight to go to school. She has travelled around the world, fighting for girls to be able to go to school.

    • Malala won the Nobel peace prize in 2014 and became the UN (United Nations) Messenger of Peace on the 11th of April 2017. She also has honorary Canadian citizenship from the Canadian prime minister. She is one of the only 6 people in the world to be given this honour!
