Year 4

Please feel free to talk to your child's teacher, preferably at the end of the school day, if you have any concerns.  We are always happy to help.  You can also leave us a message in your child's School Diary or by sending an email to:

yr4homehelp@lwj.org.uk

We will check both the diaries and email weekly.

We know you will all be reading regularly!

Doorway online - Touch typing

This is a great skill to learn and the activities here are all free. The activities take around 5 minutes each and will benefit everybody. Touch typing is a big help to those with dyslexia as well as making the process of typing quicker and more accurate.  It will not work on a touch screen, it has to be done on a conventional keyboard.

Google Sketchup

This is a free 3D modelling program that can produce stunning results, given time and patience.  It is an online application and can be found here.  There are tutorials and of course hundreds of videos on YouTube.

Using sketchup, try to draw objects from around the house/garden first.  Once mastered, try more difficult things like a house or other type of building (items with lines at angles are difficult, as are curves).

Audible

Good news - audible is making hundreds of titles available for free during the school closures. This service will remain free for as long as schools are shut - this means books are available to stream at no cost at all.  Simply visit stories.audible.com from any browser to get started.  No logins, credit card or passwords needed!
