As ever, if you have any questions comments or concerns please email myself (Ms Browne) or Mr MacBean or talk to a member of the team before or after school. 

I'm looking forward to seeing many of you next week for our teacher consultation sessions and for some Autumn celebrations at Autumn fest.

Kind regards,

Year Four - Home Learning Friday 30th September

Project with Remi

Task: You have a map of Europe in your Home Learning Book. Locate and name 15 of the unnamed countries on the map of Europe. Can you find out which countries were invaded by Germany during the Second World War?

Year Four - Home Learning

Can you write a poem with a Harvest Theme?

Perhaps you could write an acrostic?

Here’s one of mine:

Hard-working farmers are busy harvesting the crops.

Are you coming to our Harvest celebrations?

Ripening fruit on the trees.

Vegetables are ready to be picked. 

Equinox (September 23rd) means longer nights.

Some foods need preserving for winter months.

Truly grateful for the food we eat. 

Or maybe a funny (silly) poem like this one….. 

Lettuce show our care for one another.

Peas with everyone across the world 

Squash unkindness and selfishness

Thyme for family and friends.

Turnip and make a difference by lending a hand.

Junk model musical instruments

 

Next Tuesday, year 4 will be making junk model musical instruments as part of their science topic on sound. 

If you have any junk model materials that you could send in it would be much appreciated. You could either ask your child what they need to make the instrument they have planned or any general donations of cardboard boxes, elastic bands, clean drink bottles or milk bottles would be put to good use.

Thank you in advance,

The year 4 team.
