Easter half term homework (due in Friday 20th April)

Your homework for over your Easter break requires you to complete two jobs:

Job 1 links to our PSHE 'staying safe' topic and you will need to do some research using one of the websites listed. Jot down an advice or information the website gives you ready to share when back at school after half term.

Job 2 is to have lots of fun!! There is a grid for you to complete which include most of the dates for Easter telling us what you have been up to. There is also a list of possible exciting ideas you could get up to during your time off.

Try something new! Stay safe! Have fun and don't eat too many Easter eggs !

World Book Day whole school homework.

Due date: 16/03/18

Think about a brilliant book that you have read recently. Where did your imagination take you after/whilst reading the book?

Your task is to represent somewhere you have visited while reading. Explain why it was such an amazing adventure.

You can be as creative as you like and represent your work in any way that you choose. Please don’t do your homework in your homework book as some of them will go on a whole school display. There will be a prize for the best one in each class. Enjoy getting creative.

Good luck to 4W and 4C who will be heading off to York this week for their residential trip.  They will be visiting the Media Museum, the Castle Museum, York Chocolate Story, the Minster and the Railway Museum.  Don't forget to pack your suitcase this weekend!  Let's hope the weather improves.  Keep your eye on the ticker on the front page of the website...it will keep you updated as to what the children are up to.

Together with Year 6 we designed and made some snow sculptures. We used compact snow to keep our sculptures sturdy, this also meant it would take longer to melt. A few of us found icicles under the benches and used them in our sculptures.

We made predictions of which sculptures will still be there after the weekend and which ones will melt.

Most of our lessons next week will be planning and preparing for selling our enterprise product at the market stall on Thursday afternoon.  During Enterprise Week, we will be taking on a range of different roles: product designers, finance managers, production operatives, quality control, marketing and sales managers.  We will be carrying out market research, establishing a company name and logo, producing posters to advertise the product as well as designing, making and selling.  In Year 4, each class will be decorating cupcakes.  We will need to think about an innovative design which can be produced effectively so that people will want to buy them.  The aim is to be the class that makes the most profit, so we will need to think about costings and pricing of the product.  The winning class gets to choose a charity to which the profit will be donated.

Maths - Refer to your child's maths homework, including this week's learning.  Our maths skills will also be needed to work out potential profit from the sales of our enterprise product.
