Year 4 Homework

Date set: 19.5.17   

Date Due in: 26.5.17

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 fractions. 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)

Blog:

In Geography we have been using atlases to find out about at continents, countries and oceans of the world. For your homework this week, we would like to choose a country and write a fact file about it.

You could include:

  • Which continent it is on
  • Which countries and seas border it
  • The capital city
  • Other significant cities
  • The flag
  • Languages spoken
  • The population
  • The currency
  • The climate
  • Mountains and rivers
  • Any other interesting facts.

Spellings (20mins):

In grammar we have been finding out where to place the apostrophe with possessive plurals. If the word is a regular plural, e.g. boy-boys, we add an apostrophe after the s. For example: The boys’ coats were hanging in the cloakroom.

With some words we do not add an s to make it plural. For example child-children. If the word is an irregular plural we add an apostrophe before the s. For example: The children’s coats were in the cloakroom.

Your spellings this week focus on irregular plurals, where the spelling of the singular word changes to make it plural.  You have been given singular words. We would like you to find out and learn the spelling for each plural. For example if you are given the singular word mouse, you would need to learn the word mice.

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
