Tuesday 23rd June with Mr. K

Posted: Jun 22, 2020 by: Liam Kershaw (LKershaw) on: Class 4

Good morning Class 4, Mr. K here again. I hope you've had a great weekend. I went on a long walk on Saturday and did over 20,000 steps! I ached all of Sunday! 

Here is your work for today...

Grammar

For grammar, I would like you to show me what you know about word types. By Year 4, you should be familiar with these 8 word types:

• Noun
• Adjective
• Adverb
• Verb
• Preposition
• Pronoun
• Conjunction
• Determiner

For each of these word types, I would like you to do a little mini poster (around a postcard size) with the name of the word type, a definition of what it is, an example of 3 words that can be that word type and finally a sentence with that word type underlined in it.

For example:

Noun: You would write what a noun is here.

Examples: dog, cat, Jeff.

Sentence:    I saw a dog following my cat.

Make these posters as colourful as you like - you can use these as little reminders for each word type. You can of course do some research on them if you are not sure.

This is a great website, with all the word type definitions on it. You can use the search bar at the top to look up the word types.

Maths

I would love to see how you are at the written method for division. Division is the written method that is often the hardest to master. Two things will help you master division - practice and knowing your times tables. If you know your times tables, you know how many of a number is in another number.

Try these using the bus stop method (hint: the first 5 questions don't have a remainder at the end):

1.) 520 divided by 8

2.) 534 divided by 6

3.) 390 divided by 5

4.) 165 divided by 3

5.) 603 divided by 9

These may have a remainder:

6.) 945 divided by 7

7.) 1034 divided by 4

8.) 9021 divided by 5

9.) 3956 divided by 3

10.) 773 divided by 6

Extension: Because you know your 11 and 12 times table as well, you can still use short division to find the answers to these. Give it a go!

11.) 6943 divided by 11

12.)   9473 divided by 12

13.) 8594 divided by 11

14.) 6245 divided by 12

Geography

Next year, one of our topics will look at South America. Here is a blank map of South America. Can you find out the names of each country and put them on the map? Then, colour each country a different colour so that no country that shares a border with another country has the same colour. 

Also, try and memorise the countries of South America if you can!

PE

I have been inspired by my walk this weekend. Can you try and beat my 20,000 steps? If you don't get chance today, you can email me at any point over the next week with a photo of your fitbit, or a step counting app to show me you have done over 20,000 steps. 

If you don't have a step counting device, you can use maths to help you. Count how many steps it is around your garden. Then you just count how many times you walk around your garden and multiply it by the number of steps.

So if it is 125 steps around your garden and you do it 100 times, then that is 125 times by 100 which is 12,500 steps!

Thank you for being great with sending work in, Class 4. I look forward to hearing from you!

Mr. K
