Home Learning for week beginning 18/05/2020

Please find below all that you'll need for this week's home learning - the pdf files should open on all devices. If not, send us an email and we will try to fix it!  The overview will take you through what each task means, explain the project work and set out what is expected. The answers will be posted on Friday so that you can mark your work - look for any errors you may have made and correct them. 

We hope that you enjoy the activities that we have planned for you this week. We understand that it may seem slightly challenging at the moment, balancing both work and home schooling, and we want you to know that we are here to help and support you in any way that we can. Obviously in an ideal world, we would love for the children to complete all of the tasks that we set but we understand that this is not always possible. As a basic requirement, we would ask that the children try to complete all of the Maths and English activities and make an attempt at some topic tasks.

We would also ask that either you or your child touch base with us at least once a week via email, whether it is to share pictures of learning, ask questions or to give us any feedback. The class email will be responded to daily between the hours of 8.30 and 16.30 Monday to Friday.

French from Madame Ferguson:

Bonjour la classe,

Ça va? How are you?

I hope you are keeping your French up.  Enjoy this new learning about la famille.  This week you will learn the vocabulary for members of your famille.  You will need this information as you try to make your own family tree, “un arbre généalogique”.

Bon courage,                   Madame Ferguson

Year 4 le 20 mai 2020

Bonjour la classe,

Ça va? How are you?

I hope you are keeping your French up.  Enjoy this new sound learning.  It is the "u" sound, one of the trickiest sounds to master.  There is also a sound file attached with a handy tip to make the "u" sound easier. 

Bon courage,                   Madame Ferguson
