Home Learning

Year 4

Week Beginning: 18th May 2020

• We have really enjoyed seeing pictures of you completing the work we’ve set

or your own ideas. Please send us at least 3 pictures of yourself or your

work to Year4@abbey-tmet.uk

• Our 3 class times table stars (most improved accuracy) are Pratik, Jai and

Aditi. Well done!

• Have you done lots of reading this week? Remember that reading is great for

building your vocabulary and giving you ideas for your writing. This week, I

have been reading some autobiographies. I have found it really interesting to

learn about people’s lives from their point of view and what events in their

lives have made them into who they are.

• Don’t forget you have the CGP and the Abacus text books if you are looking

for more work to do. Please DO NOT write in the text books.

Eid Mubarak to all those families who will be

celebrating at the end of this week. We hope you

have a lovely day.

Keep safe and we will hopefully see you all soon,

Miss Kaur, Miss Fagan and Miss Resch

This is an optional activity that you can do with your

family at any time this week. We’d love to see pictures of

what you do.

Do something imaginative with an empty toilet roll. What can you

make? You could draw or paint onto the roll or cut it up to create

different shapes.

#creativity

We’d love to see what you make. Here are examples of us completing this challenge.

Miss Kaur made a pair of binoculars for her nephew.

Miss Fagan created some cat toys. Unfortunately, her cat ignored them ☹. She

decided to make a family of cardboard cats instead who enjoyed the sunshine in

Miss Fagan’s garden. James has named them Lucien, Dan and Bob.

Miss Resch used her toilet roll to make a bird feeder. Yummy!

Choose an unusual animal and research it. Present your findings in a fun, creative way.

Task 3 – RE

Eid-al-Fitr The Muslim celebration of Eid al-Fitr is at the end of this week. It is the Festival of the Breaking of the Fast and comes after Ramadan, the month of fasting. Unlike Christmas, it is not a Bank Holiday (a day off for everyone) so you have to ask your school or work for a day off and they can say no.

Think about this question: Should people be automatically given a day off school or work for their religious festivals?

Write a letter to the government arguing either YES or NO. Think about:

• How many days off should you be allowed each year?

• There are already days off called Bank Holidays. Which religion do these belong to?

• How would you stop people making up their own religion to get days off?

• How do you make it fair? Some religions have more festivals than others.

• What about people who are atheist (not-religious)?

• interest • island • knowledge • learn • length
