6th July

Hi Year 4, we hope you had a lovely week and a fun weekend.  Here's your work for this week: 😄

English

This week and next week, we will retell the story of Beowulf.
Monday: Watch these videos on you tube and write notes if you like, on the order of events; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4B9OSgb8E0

Tuesday: Make a story map of Beowulf and then try retelling the whole story to someone, using your story map. A good way to do a story map, is by drawing a long winding path, down your page and drawing and labelling the events of the story in order.
Wednesday: Write the opening paragraph of your story. Try to make it an exciting start, to grab the readers attention.
Thursday: Read yesterdays work and self edit it and improve it by adding more exciting vocabulary if you can. Write the second paragraph of your story.
Next week you will continue with your story at your own pace, until it is finished. You can add pictures next week, or as you go along. 

On Friday, please could you revise the words on the list here. These words are some of the National Curriculum words for year 4. You can learn the words in the same way that you learn your weekly spellings, or use the sheet as a handwriting lesson every Friday. If you are finding them rather tricky, you could try to learn half of them please, that would be great.

Maths
