Year 4 suggested websites for activities, resources and e-learning
Here are some websites and logins to sites that you can access during your period of home learning. We will be setting work through the website as well as using Google Classroom. There will be 3 lessons/ activities set each day often using the resources/ websites listed below. You will need to check in daily to see what has been set and needs doing.
However, you may want to spend a chunk of time focusing on improving in a particular area such as times tables, punctuation or handwriting. You could even focus on learning to speak fluent French!
Don't forget that learning to do life skills such as making a meal or cooking from a recipe, gardening, housework, helping to make a shopping list are all incredibly useful and valuable. Learn to play a board game, sketch the plants and animals you see around your home and study the night sky for constellations and planets as the weeks go by.
