Welcome to team Year 4/5!

Homework Week ending 28th February 2025.

In addition to the children's usual homework tasks, the class have been challenged to complete a 'book in a box' ready for our World Book Day celebrations on Thursday the 6th of March. 

Our theme is traditional tales and the children should create a book in a box centred around one of these traditional tales. 

Book in a box can be completed using a shoe box or any box of a similar size. The children have encouraged to be as creative as possible! We can't wait to share all of our wonderful creations in Y4/5.

The children can also dress up as a character from a traditional tale if they wish. 

I am really looking forward to the rest of our Spring Term following the half-term rest! I hope you all had a lovely week off.

Year 4 pupils and the Times Tables Check:

We have been practising our times tables throughout the year so far. As we approach the times tables check, this will increase. Please make sure you are practising your times tables at home daily to support the recall of times tables facts.

Can you use personification and alliteration?

Or an atmosphere description about navigating the storm.

Your task is to create a poster or leaflet about Anglo-Saxons religious beliefs and the three Saints who introduced Christianity to Britain.

Your poster should answer the following questions:

1. What did Anglo-Saxons believe before Christianity was introduced?

2. How did Anglo-Saxons practise these beliefs?

3. Who were the three Saints and where did they come from?

4. What impact did St. Columbus have?

5. What is the most interesting fact you have learnt?

6. Are there any other questions you have about the Anglo-Saxons?

You can use a computer, or paper and pens. Your poster should be neatly presented and exciting to look at!
