Hi guys
Hope you are all going ok. This week is Week 6 and the work is located directly on Google Classroom. Well done to those of you who have been logging into Sumdog. Moonstone, you are currently in 5th place in all of Essex. Keep up the great work team!
Don't forget you can also go back to any of the other week folders and complete work that hasn't been done already. A big thank you to those of you have been sharing what you have been doing at home. Remember, it is not expected that you complete everything. These are all just suggested tasks for you to do. Hopefully we will see you all soon and please do ask if you need anything.

Welcome Back!

Dear All

A big welcome back to you all! We hope you had a really lovely Easter Holiday and were able to enjoy some fresh air, sunshine and relaxation. This is our Summer term here at Down Hall. We will be adding more work to the Y 3/4 Home Learning Pack of Google drive. Please feel free to ask any questions if you need some support. We understand that it isn't easy home schooling so please remember to just do what you can, when you can.
Many thanks
Year 3/4 Teachers


Here are a few ideas for you to choose from:


  • Watch Newsround every day. You could either write a daily diary entry or record it on an iPad.


  • TTRS and Sumdog
Children have their own individual logins for these. Please continue to practise your times tables.


  • Mathsframe - online interactive activities as well as printable sheets.

Here is a large list of websites that are suitable for all children as well as lots of learning activities.


  • Year 4 Maths
We are currently looking at Decimals then the Four Number Operations (+ - X and division)  Here a list of websites you could access to support learning. You dont need to print anything out, your child can just write on paper.




Four Number Operations - Please see Year 3/4 School Closure Pack. You could also Google topics below - Year 4.


Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in Key Stage 2: Year 4
        PARENTS Year 4 children need to add and subtract numbers with up to digits using column addition and subtraction.
          They will be able to recall multiplication and division facts up to 12 x 12.
          They will learn to recognise factor pairs
          They will multiply two-digit and three-digit numbers by a one-digit number using      a formal written layout.
          They will solve problems using all four operations.


  • Year 3 Maths 
We are currently looking at Fractions so some revision of this would be beneficial and our next unit is focusing on the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) mainly focusing on written methods. 
Please use mathsframe activities to practise these skills. 


  • Spellings


In the 3/4 School Closure pack is a list of the Year 3 and Year 4 spelling lists for children to look at and learn for Summer 1. These could be put into sentences and looked at, covered up and written down (LCWC)

Easter Break

Dear Parents,

First of all, we would like to congratulate the children on all the hard work that they have been doing over the previous weeks and we are very proud of all them. As it is the Easter holiday next week, we would like to address that there are no expectations for the children to complete any work. There have been some activities shared with the children if this is something you would like to do.

Thank you for all the kind messages that have been sent to us. We appreciate all the comments. We would also like to mention how proud we are of the children who have come into school during this time and showed nothing but good behavior and hard work.

Many thanks,
Year 3/4 Team
