Happy Friday everybody! This week we have been thinking about mass and capacity - how we measure it and how to read scales. This is a very challenging skill and well worth spending some time on at home if you can. We have also been creating Meerkat factfiles and writing from the point of view of a vulture. Click on this link if you'd like to watch the short film that our writing has been based on this week. https://www.literacyshed.com/catchit.html
Holiday Homework Tasks
Must Do
- Reading Remember 15-20 minutes everyday and then discuss the text afterwards, asking for opinions, favourite part or questioning what happened so as to ensure that your child is understanding the text as well as reading it.
- Maths Homework Book - this week we would like you to complete: Year 3 page 14-15 Year 4 page 42-43 if they have not already been completed.
- Spelling and Reading Common Words - keep looking at these words often, doing a chunk at a time. The lists can be accessed from our Key Stage web page "Useful Information" tab - use the link below and scroll down to see the menu of word lists. Practise how to spell them by looking at 5-10 words at a time.
Can Do
- Continue logging on to TTRS, Sumdog and MyOn.
Head to Toe Clubfoot Charity
During the half term holiday there will be an art installation in Rayleigh in conjunction with the Head to Toe Clubfoot Charity. Children from several Rayleigh schools, including Down Hall, have created colourful feathers and these will form part of the decorations in the High Street. All of the children in Year 3/4 have made their own feather so you may like to go and take a look.
Wishing you all a fantastic holiday and see you back in school in June.
Take care,
Mrs Hurley, Mr Greenfield and Miss Harvey
