Year 4 Blog - Lime Class

This weeks topic  focus is a history activity (you can find it in your Easter Pack).

Please see attached copy below. 

We're looking forward to finding out more about your families too.  

We hope you're enjoying revisiting the story of Jack and the Beanstalk this week. The maths challenge below is designed to practise reading, writing and ordering numbers to 10/20 and investigating counting in 2's. 

As we can't get out and about in the shops it might be nice to set up your own play shop at home. You could count your money for the till, make some labels, make a sign for your shop, write a shopping list.....

Below are some other fantastic things you can do with coins (and shapes).

Each week, we’ll blog a set of Big Idea challenge cards. These are enjoyable, purposeful tasks that children can do independently or with family members while learning from home.

The challenges are linked to the Cornerstones 10 Big Ideas, which are global concepts and themes that thread throughout our curriculum. The 10 Big Ideas are Humankind, Nature, Processes, Significance, Comparison, Place, Investigation, Materials, Creativity and Change.

The first set is focused on the Big Idea of Humankind – what makes us human, the human body, emotions, how we interconnect, and so on.

Each month the children are asked to write their name, do a self portrait drawing and write a sentence (or more) in their 'Big Yellow Books'. This is super to look through at the end of the year to see how far they have come.  We thought that it would be great if the children could do their April drawing and writing from home.

They could bring this piece of work in with them for us to stick into their books when we get back into school. Alternatively, you could email a picture of their masterpiece for us to print off and stick into their books - we'd very much like to see their work.

Perhaps you could make it a family activity?

Take care.
