Home learning - Year 4 - Week 13

7th December 2018

Christmas Play - Please spend some time to learning your lines.

Costumes -  We are looking for costumes for your child to wear for the performance.  Your child will need:

1.  A Victorian Costume.

2. A Victorian Urchin Costume - Scruffy / Rags if possible.

3. Spirit (Ghost of Christmas Present and Posse) - Ghostly rags - white, grey or black (sheets or old t-shirts/shorts made to look like rags). Cool rapper accessories such as base ball cap, sunglasses, chains(paper), trainers and funky socks.

4. Scrooge - We have got nightshirt and caps, but will need a Victorian Jacket and Top Hat to put over the top for the beginning and end scenes.

5.  Spectre, Ghost of Christmas Past and Marley - Ghostly grey/white or black ragged outfit (old sheet, or tatty t-shirt and shorts/trousers made to look like rags). We will be using face paints and talcum powder in hair - please let us know if your child is NOT able to have this done.

Please provide your child's costume in a named bag or hanger by Friday 14th December.

Class Target: Entering a competition - Only one entry returned so far!

As you have seen through the letter sent home earlier this week we are hoping to enter the Premier League Primary Stars poetry writing competition.  The theme for the poem is all about diversity, using inspiration from the poem written specially for Premier League Writing Stars, Beautifully different, Wonderfully the same by Joseph Coelho. The poem and subject encourage us to think of ways to celebrate similarities and differences that bring us together, and these are themes that run through this programme.  Last year we had a winner and highly commended entry from our school and there are some great prizes on offer. The competition closes on December 21st, so there are a couple of weeks to go to complete this one.

Fun with French - I have enclosed a couple of games we have been playing in French, why not have a go at home!

Challenge: Can you translate the french in order to colour the Christmas tree?  (This activity is challenging, but we have covered enough to make it possible, good luck!)

The worksheets for French are coming home with the paper copy of this home learning.
