Hi Year 4, it’s Mrs Lowe and Mrs Waggott. How are you all?  Keeping well and safe hopefully.  This blog post includes a maths, reading, P.E and science task for you to do. Don’t forget you can still log onto TT Rockstars, and MyMaths if you want any extra practise J

 We are really missing all of you and we will hopefully be seeing you all soon!

Maths

 

L.O To translate points on a grid

 

Today we are starting a new maths topic on translation. Translation is when a shape is moved a certain distance from its original position.

Translation is when a shape slides from one place to another, without turning.

Have a look at the first part of this video to help you understand what it is (up to 6:00 minutes):

To describe a translation, you have to say how many squares it has moved to the left or right, and how many squares it has moved up or down.

The example above shows that Shape A has been translated 5 squares to the right and 3 up.

 

Either print out the coordinate’s sheet, or complete it on a piece of paper. First of all write the coordinates of each of the coloured dots, then translate them according to the instructions and write the new coordinates for each dot. There’s an extra challenge attached for those of you who are feeling confident with translations!

 

English

 

LO To read a text and answer comprehension questions

 

  1. Choose either one, two, three or all four of the news articles attached!
  2.  Either print out, or just read the texts on the screen.
  3. Then answer the questions about them, either write your answers on the sheet or on a separate piece of paper.
  4.  Remember to go back and skim read the text to find the answers. The articles are all taken from a recent First Newspaper.
  5. Check your answers with the mark sheet attached.

Science

Teeth - Lesson 1

Why do we have teeth? What is their purpose?

Have a look in a mirror, look at and feeling your own teeth. How many teeth have you got? How many new ones (permanent teeth)? How many baby teeth (milk teeth)?

Can you count your total number of teeth?

Why do we lose our milk teeth?

Babies’ jaws are too small to hold all these teeth.

Children have 20 teeth: 8 incisors, 4 canines and 8 molars

Adults have 32 teeth including wisdom teeth.

Babies                                                          Children/adult

Feel your teeth and guess what each type is designed for (its function or use).

Consider how teeth are shaped for their purpose

  • Incisors: snipping and cutting food when you bite - sounds like scissors. They are thin and smooth for cutting food.
  • Molars: grinding, crushing and chewing. Molars are flat and grooved for crushing food.
  • Canines: ripping and tearing. Canines are pointed and sharp for ripping food.

L.O: To identify the different types of teeth in humans and their functions.

1) Using the models, either draw and colour code the different types of human teeth or use the model with teeth already drawn in to colour code them

2) Describe the function that each tooth has

e.g. Incisors are used for biting and cutting food.

Key Vocabulary

  • Incisor
  • Canine
  • Molar
  • Pre-Molar
  • Wisdom

 

Steps to success:

  1. Decide if you want to draw your teeth or use the ones already drawn
  2. Cut out the jaw you want to use and stick it on a piece of paper
  3. Use 3 different colours on the key
  4. Identify what each tooth is by colouring it accordingly
  5. Cut out labels for the teeth or write in the functions for the different types.
