Year 4 Thursday 7th January

Good morning Year 4! Miss Furlong and Miss Aluriya are both very happy to see you on virtual school. Please make sure you are keeping up with your school work by completing the lessons and activities that we have set for you today. We will be keeping a register so make sure you leave a comment to let us know that you’re here. We would love to see the work that you complete too. There are 3 ways you can send us work:
1) Tweet it @hillstoneps
2) Email it to year4@hillstone.org.uk
3) Submit it here
Please make sure your name is on any photos that you send us.
Most importantly, make sure to stay safe! Have a great day!

Do you have somewhere to write…?

Before you start, we know we’re going to be away from school for a little while, so it would be a good idea to make sure you have a place to keep all of your virtual school work. Your homework book would be ideal to use. If you don’t have access to this (for example, you’ve left it at school), you could find another notebook that is only used for school work. Try to keep this book nice and neat just like you would with your learning and maths journals.

9:00-9:10

Let’s start the day off with some early morning work! So, put your thinking hats on Year 4. Below is a picture of several things combined together – a couple of Maths, Geography, English questions, etc. These questions might be topics we may have not covered in lessons yet but that’s okay! Just give it a good go – you might learn something new! Again, if you need any support, please comment below. Make sure you have left a comment to let us know you’re here too!

We’re continuing to look at graphs today. If you missed yesterday’s maths lesson on bar graphs, it will be a good idea to go back and do that one first, otherwise you might find today’s work a little bit hard!
Today we are learning about line graphs.

Task 1

Click HERE and watch the two videos on the page. They will introduce you to line graphs and teach you how to find out information from them.

Task 2 – Guided Practice

Have a look at the graph below:

Use the graph to answer these questions:

1. What was the temperature at 11am?
2. What was the temperature at 1pm?
3. What was the temperature at 2.30pm?
4. At what time was it the warmest inside the house?
5. At what time was the temperature 21 C?

Workbook

There are 3 workbook pages to complete below. Click on each one to make it bigger.

Answers

Finally, it is important that you send us photos of any of the work you do. We will be sending Marvellous Me badges out to everybody who sends us work! Submit your work here or send it to year4@hillstone.org.uk.
