The focus this half term has been ‘pets’, the children have also been revising colours and size to describe pets in French. The children have used sentence building to speak about pets and then to write sentences creatively to describe pets.
4 Red have been enjoying learning their numbers in French this term through a variety of games. Playing games allows the children to develop their speaking and listening skills in a fun way. Year 4 have been revising their numbers to 21 playing the traditional “goose game” jeu de l’oie as well as the well known game ‘connect 4’.
We have launched our first theme of the year, which is based all around COMMUNICATION. During assembly the children found out how meerkats communicate with each other. Did you know that they take it in turns to watch out for predators and when everything is ok they make a low constant peeping known as ‘The Watchman’s song’? If a predator is spotted the guard alerts the others with a bark or a whistle.
People have been communicating with each other throughout the whole of human history, but how we communicate with each other has changed massively over the last 30 years.
We are going to be investigating all sorts of weird and wonderful ways of communicating in our new theme.
