Year 4 Home Learning Thursday 21st May
Good Morning everyone!
I hope you all enjoyed the sunshine yesterday.
Here is your work for today:
English – Today we will continue to work on our sentence structure.
I’d like you to look out of your window, sit in your garden or go for a walk. Think about all of the things you can see, feel, smell and hear – write down as many ideas you can think of – e.g. birds tweeting, sun beaming down, clear blue skies.
Now use these ideas to write 5 sentences. Try to include at least on of the skills below in each sentence.
- Fronted Adverbial – Beneath my feet, the tall, green grass swayed in the breeze.
- Adverb – The birds were singing sweetly in the tall, oak tree.
- Simile – The daisies danced like ballerinas in the field.
- Expanded noun phrase – High above the treetops, small birds with colourful feathers swooped around.
- Prepositional phrase – As the sun beamed in the sky, the children laughed and played.
- Conjunction – While the children played in the sunshine, the grown ups enjoyed their peace and quiet.
Maths – Today, I’d like you to practise your multiplication and division skills. I have added some videos for you to watch if you need some help.
