Can Do - Science Activity

In science, we have been looking at endangered animals and how their environment changes. 


In your local area, choose a local habitat. It can be in a park, a field, the woods, your garden, etc. On the sheet or on paper draw a map of the local habitat and include any dangers that you can see.


On the next sheet, draw an idea (e.g. more bins?) that would help the local habitat and add a brief explanation of how it will help to protect local living things

Please can you also make sure that your child is reading for at least 15 minutes every night. If you have read all the books in you house the local libraries are now open!

NEXT WEEK

In English we are continuing to write our narrative story based on Moses. The children have worked really well on their stories and we can't wait to share them with all of the other children in our phase group!

Y 3/4 Blog 16.04.21 - Welcome back to the Summer Term

Dear Parents,

We hope that you had a lovely Easter break and that you and your children are settling back into the daily school routine. The children have come back in very calmly and well-rested. It looks like they are all eager to get on with their learning and they are enjoying being together once more.

HOMEWORK

This week's homework can also be found on Google Classroom

Below is a list of things that we would like you to complete for your homework. You need to complete the Must Do tasks and if you would like to challenge yourself some more, than you can complete the Can Do tasks.

Must Do
1. Practise your times tables. This can be done through TTRS or any other multiplication games.
2. Write a review of the chapter of a book that you are currently reading at home.
3. Practise 10 of your spelling words. Can you write them in sentences?

Can Do
Write a diary about something you did over the weekend. You can include photos if you like.

Please can you also make sure that your child is reading for at least 15 minutes every night. If you have read all the books in you house the local libraries are now open!

NEXT WEEK

Looking ahead to our lessons next week, we will be continuing to work on using the bus stop method in Maths. We are pushing on to learning how to solve problems involving remainders. It is so very important that the children know their times tables off by heart as division is the inverse of multiplication. We need the children to be able to see the link for themselves.

In English we are continuing to plan and write our narrative story based on Moses. The children have found it interesting learning about the ten plagues and I can see it will dominate their storylines!

Have a lovely weekend and see you Monday.

Kind regards,

Mrs Hurley, Mr Greenfield & Mrs Hurley
