Please encourage your children to practise these spellings. These are essential and should be practised alongside weekly spellings.

Y3 & Y4 Statutory Spellings

At St Joseph’s, we are so grateful for the invaluable support that our parents and carers provide for our pupils. We know how well our families have been able to adapt to home learning so now that we can welcome all of our pupils back to school, we wanted to provide opportunities for our pupils to continue their learning at home, if they choose to. The homework given will prepare and support your child’s learning across the curriculum each half term. The homework tasks below are optional. If you would also like to read our homework policy, please follow the link below.

Use power point, word or key note to create your own fact file about The Stone Age, Bronze Age or Iron Age. Can you include a title and subheadings?

DT

Research life in prehistoric times. Make your own Stone Age tool, weapon, cooking pot or house. You might even use a shoe box to create your own cave setting.

Science

Compare and contrast rocks and pebbles you can find in your garden. Can you sort them into groups? If you have any hula hoops you could use these as sorting hoops. Take a photo of what you did and explain why.
