Happy Half Term! 

I cannot believe that we have completed the first half term already, you have all worked extremely hard and have settled into Year 4. 

Home learning project

Anglo Saxon Settlements.

This half term I would like you to build a 3D model of an Anglo Saxon Settlement. You can be as creative as you like but it should be based on the set up of a real life Anglo Saxon village. 

When you  return, you will need to be able to speak about your settlement and discuss the different parts of the village. 

The deadline for this project is 11th Decemeber 2020

Next week (02/11/2020)

In Maths we will begin to focus on correspondence questions and dividing by 10,100 and 1000. In English, we will be continuing with the text Beowulf and will be writing an explanation text. I am sure you will all be very creative with this! 

Spellings

Please practice high frequency words for Year 3 and 4 . 

Other websites you might like to access are:

Pobble which is fantastic for writing tasks

Literacy Shed which has a range of pictures and other ideas for writing based around videos

Once upon a picture which can be used to develop inference skills

Topmarks which can be used for maths games

NRich for maths investigations

Math is fun for maths games

Please ensure you use mathletics and times table rockstars to support you with your times tables. Continue to read your books and use the reading stems to answer questions about the text.

Have a fantastic and well rested holiday and stay safe!
