Homework Term 3

In year 4 we have created a Take Away Homework Menu. This template has homework on for the whole term which you can download below.

We would like children to select one item per week that they would like to complete and submit this via Google Classroom by uploading a picture or creating a Google Doc (if My Maths is completed nothing will be needed to upload to Google Classroom).

We hope this encourages you to complete optional homework. Remember that reading, times tables and spellings are to be completed weekly.

NEW: From now on Homework will be set and collected on a Monday.

In English this week we are looking at instruction texts. An instruction text is explaining how you make something. Can you create an instruction text based on something you can make at home? For example, making a jam sandwich or making a hot chocolate.

Ensure you add in bossy words for your reader (imperative verbs) and time fronted adverbials. Here are some examples.

Imperative verbs:                         Time Fronted Adverbials:

• Flip                                       -Afterwards
• Mix                                       -Immediately
• Add                                      – Before long
• Close                                    -After a while
• Chop                                    -Next

You can complete this in your homework book or visit Google Classroom where a document has been created for you to create your instruction text.

Remember, once you have finished, you close the tab you are working on and then click on ‘TURN IN’ and this will send it to your teacher. We look forward to finding out all about what you love.
