Year 4
Week Beginning: 20th April 2020
We hope you have enjoyed your Easter break. It’s time to get back to your learning
from home.
• We’d love to see some photos of you doing your work. Send them to the year 4 email.
year4@abbey-tmet.uk
• Our 3 class times table stars (most improved studio speed) are Rhythm, Preet C and
Shivani. Remember to keep playing!
• We hope that you have been reading lots at home. This week, I have read several
mystery/thriller novels set in the USA. I really liked that they were action-packed and
that the author kept you guessing about who the goodies and baddies were. The
author also chose some powerful verbs, such as ‘Jacobs briefly glanced’ and ‘his
breathing accelerated’.
• Remember to get some fresh air outside if you can. Even though we have to stay at
home, Miss Kaur has still been spending time outside in her garden, teaching her 1-
year-old nephew to kick a football.
• The government has asked us all to stay home to stay safe at the moment. However,
this doesn’t mean that you can’t explore new places. Chester Zoo have created virtual
zoo days for you to explore. https://www.chesterzoo.org/ or try their Youtube page.
• Don’t forget you have the CGP and the Abacus text books if you are looking for more
work to do.
• Audible have released some of their audiobooks to listen to for free. Check out the
‘littlest listeners’ or ‘elementary’ sections.
Keep safe and we will hopefully see you all soon,
Miss Kaur, Miss Fagan and Miss Resch

Task 1 - Reading – prediction activity
• What’s on the other side of the door?
English • What is the girl holding in her hand?
Why?
• How did she get to the forest?
• Who hung the lanterns in the trees?
• Where does the stream lead?
• Will the girl go back through the door or
stay in the forest? Predict what will happen next.
Task 2 - When rounding to the nearest whole number (integer), any number less than 0.5
(not including 0.5) is rounded down. Any number greater than or equal to 0.5 is
Maths rounded up. You might find it helpful to draw a number line to work out which
integers a decimal number is between.
For example, 7.2 rounds to 7 and 7.7 rounds up to 8.
Task 3 - Our new topic is the Anglo-Saxons. Although England is named after the Anglo-
Saxons, they were not originally from here. When people move from one place to
Topic – Anglo-
another, it is called migration. There are often many reasons for this.
Saxons 1) Find out where the Angles and Saxons migrated from.
2) Interview your family. Where did your family migrate to Leicester from
(which city or country)? Why did they come to England or Leicester?
3) Can you think of any other reasons why people might choose to move city or
country?
Examples: Miss Fagan’s great-great-grandfather, George Petty, migrated from
Ireland to Liverpool in the 1840s because of famine in Ireland meaning there was
not enough food to live healthily.
Miss Resch’s great-grandmother, Rosa Resch, migrated from Wolfsgraben near
Vienna in Austria at the end of World War 2 as it was no longer safe for her there.
Miss Kaur’s grandparents migrated from Punjab in India to Leicester in the 1950s to
work with her grandfather’s brothers in a foundry. They wanted to earn more money
to give their children and grandchildren a better chance in life.

Task 1 - Read these sentences from Beowulf describing Grendel. How has the author made them

English In the dim and the dark, there stalked an enemy from Hell itself, the monster Grendel, sworn
enemy of God and men alike, a beast born of evil and shame.
Nothing had ever so enraged this beast as night after night he had to listen to all this happiness
and harmony. It was more than his evil heart could bear.
All the world knows of that marauding monster Grendel and all his murderous massacres.
Grendel came gliding through the swirling mist, death-dealing in his hate-filled heart, thirsting to
kill again that night.

Task 3 – What is a circuit?
Electricity is a type of energy. It is the flow of a current or electrical charge. Electricity
Science - flows in a complete path called a circuit which include a power source (often a
electricity battery), wires and components like lightbulbs, buzzers or motors. Electricity needs to
be able to make it all the way from the power source, through your appliance and
back to the power source again.
1) On the Learning Circuits website, the Simple Circuits and Circuit Basics tutorial
allows you to see how circuits work and how symbols are used to show the
parts of the circuit. Challenge: Try drawing out the symbols yourself.
http://www.learningcircuits.co.uk/learning.html
2) On this circuit construction website, try building different circuits. Remember
that the circuit will need to be complete for the electricity to flow.
