Extra Idea this week

Why not take part in the online RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch ready for our bird themed Literacy unit next week.  All you need to do is spend an hour counting the birds you see in your garden or from your balcony from 29th-31st January, then tell us what you saw. It really is that simple!  You could use this information for next Monday’s Literacy task.

Spanish

Now we have introduced our families, let’s remember how to talk about our pets in Spanish.  Watch this video to practise the pronunciation.  https://video.link/w/zc9Hb

Then, if you want to, make a poster to remind yourself of all the different pet animal words in Spanish.  If your pet is not on the list then see if you can find out what your pet is called in Spanish and add it to your poster.

I have - tengo (ten-go)

a dog - un perro (un pe-rro)

a cat - un gato (un ga-to)

a bird - un pájaro  (un pah-xa-ro)

a rabbit - un conejo (un co-ne-xo)

a guinea pig - un conejillo de Indias (un co-ne-xi-yo de in-di-as)

a hamster - un hámster (un am-stair)

a snake - un serpiente (un sair-pi-entay)

a goldfish - un pez de colores (un peth de co-lor-es)

a tortoise - una tortuga (una tor-too-ga)

I haven't got a pet. - No tengo animales. (no ten-go an-i-mal-es)

Spellings

Please find a list of the Year 4 spellings for this term in the list below.  You might also want to check you can spell the words from the Year 2 list correctly as well.

Why not ask someone at home to give you a spelling test.

Remember to record your score somewhere so you can improve it by the end of the half-term.  You can always send it to your teacher – just make sure they know which list you chose.

Now, practise the spellings you got incorrect using any of the methods from the spelling menu on the file.
