DAILY ACTIVITIES – YEAR 4

Times table rock stars – 10 minutes (recommended 2 games on studio and 2 games on soundcheck and then children’s own choice). Please keep challenging teachers and your classmates, I can see your all getting quicker – well done!

Why not watch a super movers times table video of your choice.  Combining exercise and learning.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers

Spelling and handwriting practice.

Physical exercise is so important.  Why not try the Jo Wicks PE challenge – he is doing a live broadcast at 9am but you can take part later in the day.  https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1/videos

Reading has so many benefits so it is important to encourage your child to read throughout the day.  Other activities this may then lead to include writing a character description, drawing a scene from their book, making a prediction of what they think might happen next.

Why not tune in for ‘Elevenses with the World of David Walliams’. https:///www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses
