Term 6: My Home, Your Home

This term in Year 4 we are learning about our local town - Broadstairs. We would like the children to delve into the topic during their home learning by exploring one of these tasks, or a related task of their choosing. They may present their work in any way that they wish; it could be a presentation, poster, or something that they make. The possibilities are endless. This piece of work will need to be brought into school before the last week of term. Alternatively, digital homework can be emailed to the class teacher. If something is physically created, please can this be brought in or a photo stuck into books so we can celebrate the children’s success!

 

Please bring in any Thematic homework before the end of term; we look forward to seeing some fabulous pieces.

English:

This week in English, we continued to write the narrative of Ahmet’s journey from Syria to London. We ensured we used verbs and adverbs to bring atmosphere to our writing.

Next week we will write a news report.

Maths:

In maths this week, we have been looking at patterns and sequences. We used conjecture for what we thought would continue the sequence. We also used manipulatives to support our thinking and build the pattern.

Next week we will begin to look at 3D shapes.

Thematic Curriculum:

This week during our afternoon lessons, we looked at the essentials that living things require. We put animals into different groups and classified them based on their features. In addition to this, we looked at changing environments and how these affect animal habitats.

Next week we will have an RE focus.
