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 began to write our narrative for Ahmet’s journey. We focused on using verbs and adverbs to create atmosphere and portray the events at each location.

Next week we will continue and complete the narrative for Ahmet’s journey.

Maths:

In maths this week, we began our position and direction unit which focusses on coordinates and translations. The children learnt to read grids correctly, plot points accurately and describe one and two-step translations.

Next week we will look at patterns and sequences.

Thematic Curriculum:

This week during our afternoon lessons, we compared the UK to Italy by exploring various areas such as temperature, topography and interests. The children collated the information and presented it in a Venn diagram. In addition to this, some classes looked at the topography of the UK and created 3D models considering contour lines.

Next week we will be looking at classification keys and the environment in science.
