Year Group: 4 Week Beginning: 29.06.20

English Maths Topic

Monday Lesson 1: approx. length 1 hour

Learning objective: To create a setting using

preposition phrases.

Last week, we looked at our Year 4 skills: fronted adverbials and expanded noun phrases. Today, we are going to focus on preposition phrases. What is a preposition phrase? Watch: today’s teacher video on Class Dojo.

Where is your mythical beast going to live?

Task: Choose one of the settings or sketch your own setting for your mythical beast.

Lesson 1: approx. length 1 hour

Learning objective: To identify lines of symmetry in 2D shapes.

5-a-day: Notice the pattern and continue the sequence

1. 50, 60, 70, …

2. 6, 12, 18, …

3. 40, 80, 120, …

4. 38, 43, 48

5. 0.24, 0.34, 0.44

Challenge: create your own sequence for your teacher to

continue and post it on Class Dojo!

WATCH: Today’s video on class dojo.

Fluency:

1) Using cutting and folding, find and draw on the lines of

symmetry in the shape below.

A larger printable version of these shapes is attached at the

bottom of this document (if you don’t have access to a printer,

you can draw them out carefully yourself).

2) Which shapes below show a correct line of symmetry?

Science

Learning Objective: To explain the functions of

teeth in humans.

Observation:

Using a mirror look carefully inside your mouth

or you could look inside someone in your

household’s mouth:

How many teeth can you see?

Do all teeth look the same?

How many different types of teeth can you

see?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize /topics/z27kng8/articles/zsp76yc Task: Label the teeth on the diagram.

Underneath write a sentence to explain the

functions of the different type of teeth.

(Attached below)

Think of some exciting and descriptive language to describe your setting and write around your picture. Now use prepositions to write your setting description. Prepositions you could use: on, in, beside, behind, between, across, through, next to, below, under

Support: Use the three preposition phrases and finish the sentence describing your setting.

Above him/her, _______________.

In the distance, _______________.

All around him/her, _______________.

Spellings: Choose an activity from: write

words into sentences, find other words with

the same spelling patterns, make a word-

search, create a crossword, spelling games.

Support: Use cutting and folding (A larger, printable version of these shapes is attached at the bottom. If you don’t have access to a printer, you can draw them out carefully yourself).

Reasoning: Here are 3 logos.

Dora says: All of these logos have lines of symmetry because they’re circles. Mo says: I disagree because the design on them isn’t symmetrical. Who do you agree with? Why?

Problem solving: True or false: The number of lines of symmetry a shape has is equal to the number of sides it has. Convince me! Support: Prove your answer by drawing, cutting and folding different shapes of your choice. Challenge: Can you make a conjecture about your findings?

Scientific enquiry (optional):

Use different teeth to chew the different foods

and think which ones are easier with each

tooth and why this may be or think about the

teeth you would use to chew each of these

foods and why:

-baguette/bread

-fruit pastilles/chewy sweet

-apples

-chicken

Tuesday Lesson 2: approx. length 1 hour

Learning objective: To plan my own Greek

myth.

Today, we are going to plan our own Greek

myth based on the Greek myths we have

looked at.

We will use the feature checklist to plan our

own version and features that we are going

to include in our myth.

(Attached below)

Watch: today’s teacher video on Class Dojo. It will show you how to plan and include our Year 4 skills that we have practised last week into our plan.

Task: Plan your own Greek myth using the

feature checklist.

Lesson 2: approx. length 1 hour

Learning objective: To complete symmetric figures.

WATCH: Today’s video on class dojo.

5-a-day: Round to the nearest 10 and 100

1. 81

2. 124

3. 279

4. 825

5. 511 Challenge: 999

Fluency:

1) Colour the squares to make the patterns symmetrical.

(A larger, printable version of these shapes is attached at the

bottom. If you don’t have access to a printer, you can draw

them out carefully yourself).

2) Complete the shapes according to the lines of symmetry.

Music

Learning objective: To compose music for a

purpose.

The Olympics were first started in Olympia,

Greece in 776 BC.

Music is a really vital part of any modern

Olympic games as teams and supporters

perform anthems and songs to cheer on their

country.

Can you think of a time you have heard an

anthem or chant at a sporting event to cheer on

a team or athlete?

Here are some examples of Olympic songs sung

to the same tune as famous songs:

(To the tune of “She’ll be coming round the

mountain)

We are standing at the start line, yes we are, We are standing at the start line, yes we are, The runners are all ready, The starting gun is steady, We are starting at the start line, yes we are.

(To the tune of “Humpty dumpty”)

Athletes standing all ready to race, Nobody hoping to fall on their face, All the events will be put to the test, Everyone racing and trying their best.

(To the tune of “The animals went in 2 by 2)

Reasoning:

How many different symmetrical shapes can you create using the

given sides below?

Problem solving:

How many symmetrical shapes can you make by colouring in a

maximum of 6 squares?

(A larger, printable version

of this grid is attached at the

bottom. If you don’t have

access to a printer, you can

draw them out carefully

yourself).

The athletes went in 2 by 2, Rio! Rio! The athletes went in 2 by 2, Rio! Rio! The athletes went in 2 by 2, 1 sprinter and 1 in a canoe, And they all went into the Games, For they were the best in the world.

Here are some questions to think about:

- What is the purpose of these songs? Is it to make the athletes feel nice and calm before their race? Or to pump them up and excite them instead?

- Think of the tempo (speed) of the underlying beat. Would these songs be sung quickly and loudly? Or slowly and quietly?

- Think of the dynamics of the song. Will it start off quiet and increase in volume to build up atmosphere in the crowd?

- How do these songs make you feel? How do you think they would make the athletes feel?

Task: Write your own Olympic anthem or song

to perform at the opening ceremony.

If you want to challenge yourself, write your

song to the tune of a famous song just like the

examples!

Wednesday Lesson 3: approx. length 1 hour

Learning objective: To write a Greek Myth.

Read the example myth of Perseus and the

Gorgon Medusa to remind you what a good

Greek myth looks like.

Watch: today’s teacher video on Class Dojo.

After watching the video, use your plan to

write your own Greek myth.

Use the writing ladder to help as you write

to check you are also including Year 4 key

skills we would expect to see.

(Attached below)

Task: Write your own Greek myth using your

plan and the writing ladder to include as

many skills and features as possible.

Lesson 3: approx. length 1 hour

Learning objective: To describe positions on a 2D grid.

5-a-day: Describe the value of the number 7 in each number

1. 72

2. 147

3. 7942

4. 12,756

5. 97,502 Challenge: 48.72

WATCH: Today’s video on class dojo.

Fluency: Write the coordinates for the points shown.

Yellow=

Blue=

Red=

Green=

DT

Learning objective: To confidently make

labelled drawings from different views showing

specific features.

The Greeks believed that the gods inhabited temples so they had to be BIG...

Everyday people weren't allowed in: only priests. Even if they had a celebration party for the god, this had to be outside!

Task 1- Research:

Can you find out what these words relating to

Greek temples are/mean?

Columns Doric Ionic Corinthian

Friezes Roof Limestone Marble

Terracotta Pediments

https://www.ducksters.com/history /ancient_greece/architecture.php

Task 2: Design your own Greek temple on the website: http://www.ancientgreece.co.uk/acropolis /challenge/cha_set.html (optional) Draw the temple from front and from the side and label the details and features you have used.

Write out the coordinates that spell your name.

Reasoning:

True or false:

The missing

coordinates

of this square

are (8,7)

Convince me.

If you can’t access the website, you can design

and draw your temple straight onto paper.

What will your temple be made of?

Which God will your temple be made for?

Extension: Using resources around your house

(playdough, card, cardboard), have a go at

creating and constructing the temple you have

designed.

Tommy, Dora and Eva are working out the coordinates of the

pentagon.

Dora: The coordinates

of the pentagon are

(0,8)

Tommy: The

coordinates of the

pentagon are (8,0)

Eva: I think you are

both right!

Who is correct and

why?

Problem solving:

Which clue

matches which

coordinate?

Clue 1: My x

coordinate is half

of my y coordinate.

Clue 2: My y

coordinate is less

than my x

coordinate.

Clue 3: Both my coordinates are the same number.

Thursday Lesson 4: approx. length 1 hour

Learning objective: To edit and improve my

Greek myth.

Now you have written your myth, a really

important skill to have is to be able to edit

and improve your own writing.

Edit one paragraph at a time, check:

1) Have I used capital letters for the start of

a sentence and proper nouns?

2) Have I used the correct punctuation in the

correct place? Full stops, commas, speech

marks etc.

3) Does each sentence make sense? Have I

missed any words?

4) Have I checked my spelling and grammar?

Have I written in the past tense?

5) Can I improve any words to help up level

your vocabulary? E.g. Instead of the word

‘evil’ you may use the word

‘malicious/sinister’.

Watch: today’s teacher video on Class Dojo.

Task: Edit and improve your Greek myth.

Use a different coloured pen or pencil so

that you can see your edits clearly.

Lesson 4: approx. length 1 hour

Learning objective: To plot coordinates on a 2D grid.

5-a-day: Solve using a written method.

1. 132 + 66

2. 578 + 341

3. 295 – 184

4. 658 – 372

5. 42 x 5

WATCH: Today’s video on class dojo.

Fluency:

1) Plot the

following

coordinates:

(7,8)

(4,6)

(9,1)

(10,0)

(Larger, printable versions of the grids needed today are

attached at the bottom. If you don’t have access to a printer,

you can draw these out carefully yourself)

2) Here are the coordinates of three points.

X = (1,3) Y = (2,5) Z = (3,7)

Plot and label the points on a new, blank grid on the next page or

attached at the bottom.

Geography

Learning objective: To use a map to locate

countries and describe their features.

Log in to Digimaps for Schools

https://digimapforschools.edina.ac.uk/login Username: NR46HS Password: rhubes7531

1) Search for Norwich, Norfolk.

Zoom out slowly and explore Norwich’s

location:

In England

In the UK

In Europe

In the rest of the world

2) Search for Athens, Greece.

Zoom out slowly and explore Athens’ location:

In Greece

in Europe

in the rest of the world

in comparison to Norwich

This is called locational geography: Can you

now describe where these two locations are in

the world compared to each other and other

countries?

Once you have

drawn on the 3

coordinates, join

up the points.

What do you

notice?

Write the

coordinates of two

other points that

fit the pattern.

Reasoning:

1) Amir says: When you are plotting a point on a grid it does

not matter whether you go up or along first as long as

you do one number on each axis.

Do you agree with Amir? Convince me.

2) What shapes

could be made

by plotting

three more

points?

What would

the 3 other

coordinates be

to make your

new shape?

Now we want to start thinking about physical

geography of the two places.

Physical geography includes:

1) rivers

2) mountains

3) landforms

4) volcanoes

5) oceans

6) climate

7) forests

Use the following websites to research the

physical geography of Greece today:

Task: Copy and complete the table below to

compare the physical geography of the two

locations.

Problem solving:

Two vertices of a triangle are shown on the grid.

What are the coordinates of the two vertices shown?

Give a possible coordinate for the third vertex, if the triangle is

right angled.

Give a possibly coordinate for the third vertex, if the triangle is

isosceles.

Support: Watch last week’s Class Dojo video on triangles to

remind you of the different types!

Norwich and the UK Greece

Friday PSHE lesson

Happy Friday!

WATCH: Today’s video on class dojo

In the story Jenny becomes weighed down by

the amount of worries she has.

ACTIVITY 1

You might not have any worries which is great.

If you or someone does have worries what is

the best thing to do?

Make a list of the grown- ups you could go to if

you have a worry.

What happens to worries in the light of day?

The little girl in the book

had worries that looked

like monsters. Draw

picture of your worries (if

you have any) or write words to describe your

worries).

ACTIVITY 2

Talking to a trusted adult can be really helpful if

we are feeling a little anxious are upset. Being

with friends can also be really helpful.

What do you think makes a good friend? Why?

Show me (in as creative way as you want!)

what makes a good friend.

ACTIVITY 3

Think of all the things you enjoy doing and

make a list of them with some pictures.

What is it you enjoy about these activities?

If you’re allowed, choose one of the activities

on your list to do.

I look forward to seeing your ideas!
