Reading Times Tables Spelling Additional
Continue to read every day. Remember
that reading aloud to an adult is really
important – it helps you with fluency,
expression and spotting if you are
misreading or misunderstanding words.
TT Rockstars Focus is on the x6 x7 and x8.
We have set up a BATTLE between
the classes! I wonder which class will
have the most participants and which
will earn the most points!
The final 4 spellings have been added to
the list. Make sure you know the meaning
for all 12 words and can use them in
sentences.
Handwriting – try to have 20mins a week
to focus on a neat, joined style.
Seesaw Virtual Learning Platform.
This week, you have the usual 3
lessons that are explained on Seesaw.
In addition, there are 3 more tasks
that we would like you to upload to

Task 1: English – Lockdown Diary Planning
Has there ever been a better time to write a diary? A chance to record your lives in the spring of 2020 when the world changed in ways unimaginable. Your challenge for the next 3 days is to plan and write a brief lockdown diary, using your experience and your Year 4 writing skills.
Today we will focus on organising and planning your ideas. I have given you suggestions for each box, however you can edit these and use your own if you would like to. You can also use your own planning format. Use bullet points and phrases, you don’t need to write in full sentences for planning. The most important thing is that YOU can use your plan to write a really good diary!
Introduction
Why has England gone into Lockdown? What
can/can’t you do?
What I miss is…
What I have been doing…
Have you done or learnt anything new?
Conclusion
I think in 30 years I will remember…
I have been feeling…

Task 2: Read and write 24hr time
To convert 12 hour time to 24 hour time you must first work out the 12 hour time then add 12 to the hours as shown
below. 3:30 add 12 hours becomes 15:30 and 7:25 add 12 hours becomes 19:25.
Remember to only change the hours not the minutes when converting the time.
To convert back to 12 hour time from 24 hour time you just do the opposite and take 12 hours away from the hours
as shown below.
Now try the sheets on the next page.

Task 5: Elapsed 24 hr time using a numberline
Upload you answers to Seesaw with a label saying “TASK 5”
When calculating elapsed time you can count forwards or backwards on a clock or an easier way is to use a
numberline.
Follow these instructions and you’ll be working it out in no time
1. Draw your numberline and put the start and end time at either end.
2. Work out how many minutes until the next hour (unless the hours are the same) in this case it is 25 minutes
from 2:35 until 3:00. If you only need to add minutes stop here.
3. Then, if you have to, add your hours on until you get to the correct hour. Here we only have to add 1 hour to
get from 3:00 to 4:00 but you may need to add more than one depending on the question.
4. Then add the remaining minutes on to get to the final time. In this case I have to add 10 minutes to 4:00 to
get to 4:10.
5. Add the totals together, remembering not to add the hours and minutes to each other. For the question
below I have 25+10 minutes which equals 35 minutes and 1 hour giving me an answer of 1 hour and 35
minutes.
6. Give yourself a round of applause for getting it right ☺
Try this practise question by copying it out into your home learning book
Did you get an answer of 2 hours and 55 minutes? Well done if you did – Try again if you didn’t.
Now complete the sheets on the next pages. Remember to draw a numberline for each one.

Task 6: Computing – To share or not to share?
People love sharing things online, from pics of their cat to a funny video they want all their friends to see. The trouble is, children sometimes don’t understand that what they post online can still be seen by someone far into the future, or that some things are best kept private. ‘Thumbs up, thumbs down, thumbs middle’ This activity will help you to understand what is safe to share online and what is best left offline Read each scenario and think about whether it is OK to share. A thumbs down if it is not OK to share. A thumbs middle if it depends. Make a note of your thoughts and then, if you can, share them with your family. Check the answer sheet to see if your thoughts match. 1. Sharing a picture on social media of your best friend pulling a silly face.
2. Sharing a video because you think it is funny, but it turns out people find the joke mean and someone gets upset.
3. A stranger in an online gaming chat forum asks for your mobile phone number and home address.
4. Your best friend is coming over for a sleepover but has forgotten your home address, so they message you and ask for it.
5. You have accidentally shared too much information that was personal with a stranger and now you are worried about it. Should you tell someone?
6. Sharing a funny cat video in a friends’ chat group.
7. Posting a photo of yourself online in school uniform with the school logo and name showing.
8. Posting your home address in a messaging group with people that you’ve never met in person.

Task 7: English – Lockdown Diary Writing
Today you are going to write the second part of your Lockdown diary.
You are going to write 2 more paragraphs of your choice then your conclusion.
Today you need to focus on these English skills:
-Conjunctions - Vocabulary -Paragraphs
Conjunctions Vocabulary Paragraphs
Use conjunctions in your sentences.
Conjunctions can be used to join two ideas (simple sentences) together. Example: I was sat in the garden although I had not put any sun cream on. OR to start your sentences. Example: In addition to the ice cream, I ate 2 whole bananas.
Try to vary your use of conjunctions but also make sure the conjunction you use makes
sense, in your sentence.
Some conjunctions you could use:
Try use to a range of powerful and effective
vocabulary. Think about the work you
have been doing on adverbials too.
Example 1: We have a nice time on our walks. Improved word choices: We have an enjoyable time on our pleasant walks. Example 2: I have done lots of craft. Improved word choice and sentence structure: Recently, I have been creative by doing lots of fascinating craft activities.
Make sure you stick the one idea for each paragraph. This should be clear in your plan. Example: Paragraph: What have I been doing? Only write about what you have been doing. Don’t write about what you will be doing in the future. Paragraph: What I miss is… Only write about what you miss. Don’t write about, what you will miss when things return to ‘normal’
Focus on what has been happening!
when because although besides in addition because moreover
if but so as soon until
first
however as well as since and whereas finally as a result
Use this space to write down some vocabulary you will try and include in your writing today: Example: horrific marvellous

Task 8: Timestables Practice
Colour all of the numbers in x3 one colour x6 in a different colour
and the x9 another colour
*Pause and think before
starting – what is going to be
tricky about some numbers??
Now, choose 3 different numbers that have all 3
colours. Write the timestables facts that link them:
EXAMPLE – using 2, 4, 10 timestables
2x10 = 20 20 would have been
5 x 4 = 20 3 different colours

Task 9: Science – Food webs
Log on to Seesaw to complete this activity online
Last week you looked at food chains which show how energy is moved from one organism to another. However, in real
life things are a lot more complicated and many food chains link and overlap to create what are known as food webs.
Food webs show how energy is moved between different organisms that share the same habitat.
If you look at the picture below you can see an example of a food web. All food webs, like food chains start with a
green plant and finish with a top predator, in this case a lion.
All organisms that eat other organisms are known as
consumers and all plants are producers.
The arrows show the direction in which the energy
from the plant (producer) is moved until it reaches
the lion (consumer). If you follow the arrows
backwards toward the plant they will show you
which animal consumes (eats) which animal.
For example: the kite consumes the snake which
consumes the mouse which consumes the plant
which produces the energy.
Still not sure? Try watching one of these videos to
help you: https://youtu.be/hLq2datPo5M
https://youtu.be/7AZCcf4Fv14 (this one is a little
gruesome)
In your home learning books try and answer the questions below about the food web then use the clues to create an
ocean food web using the pictures
1. What does the wildcat eat?
2. What competition from other predators does the owl have for the mouse?
3. Write out 1 food chain from the food web.
4. Name the 3 animals that are prey to the Lion.
5. Which animals are both predator and prey in the food web.
6. What is the producer in this food chain?
7. Is the mouse a consumer or producer? Why?
8. What do you think would happen if the goats disappeared from the food web?
9. Which animal is the most important in this food web? Why?

Task 12: Computing – Scratch quiz
Today you are going to create a quiz using your knowledge of predators, prey, food chains and webs. You are going to
create it using Scratch which you can use online here https://scratch.mit.edu/ Just click on Start creating to get going.
Don’t worry if you can’t get online just use the grid and test your family members if they have time.
Before you can do that though you need to write your questions and answers in your home learning books. When you have
done that, use the instructions to help you write your quiz.
Try and use everything you have learnt about in science over the last 3 weeks.
Scratch Quiz
You will need to have the sprite of your choice ask a question and then wait for an answer. After the user has given an
answer they will need to be told whether they are correct or not.
Below are the blocks that you will need to use to create a question. Practise putting them in order in Scratch and testing if
they work before creating the next question
Once you have got it working you can change the text in the blocks so
that they are asking your question.
Things to think about:
What order do you ask a question?
Look at the shapes of the blocks, they might give you a clue as to how
they fit together.
Make sure you spell everything correctly.
Now you have one question you will need to repeat it for all ten of your questions.
Which block will you not need from the ones above every time you ask a new question?
Can you find an easy way to repeat the programming blocks? (Hint – right click)
Now you have your questions you are going to need to keep score – follow the instructions below
1. Go to the orange section on the right named Variables and click on make a variable, name it score
2. Take this block and change my variable to score and put it under the green flag block
this resets the score each time you start the quiz
3. Take this block and put it after the purple say correct block, this will
add one to the score every time someone gets an answer correct.

What do you think she finds in the cave? Is it something wonderful or something terrifying?
Your task is to describe what she saw when she entered the cave – make it really clear so that I
can imagine / picture it!
You can either write your description in your book / on paper and take a photo to upload it
onto Seesaw or you could type it straight into the response box in Seesaw
The focus of your writing is on making the reader FEEL something without telling them!
e.g. The horrendous troll swept its slimy, pimple covered arms towards me.
NOT The troll was really scary and ugly.
or A tranquil pool of aquamarine waters shimmered in the gentle breeze.
NOT There was a lovely pool of water.
DESCRIBE – DON’T TELL!
