The homework this week is Talk Time and is due in Wednesday 15 June.

What do I know about my local area?

Homework this week is linked to our new topic, ‘On our doorstep‘.

Tips:

• What is our local area called?
• What is there to do?
• Are there any places of interest?
• What do I like / dislike in my local area?

Our most recent project

Year Four had an amazing time at the CLC centre last week. The children used skills such as researching, script writing, selecting images, editing and acting!

The end product was a news report.

Henry, Ebony and Georgia appear to have natural talent for news reporting!

Researchers hard at work

At Allerton Grange, we used the Apple computers to research our news reports.

Lights, Camera…Action!

We enjoyed our visit to Allerton Grange where we produced a TV news report.

Relocation, Relocation

‘Relocation, Relocation‘ is our final topic in Year Four.

We’ll focus on reasons for relocating and we will learn a little bit about the Vikings and their movements.  The topic, as always, will be cross-curricular and therefore will incorporate art activities (printing), history and geography. Our SEAL theme of ‘Changes’ also fits well with this topic.

Thank you to Mrs Jaber for volunteering to speak to the children about her experiences of relocating. If any other parents or relatives are interested in sharing their experiences, please see me to discuss a convenient time.
