Friday 27 November 2020

This week, the whole school has the same Practise Makes Perfect homework which children should be ready to discuss as part of our homework review on Friday 27th November.

I know the key vocabulary from our history topic.

This homework is a response to our ongoing learning in History.

Throughout the half term, Y3 and Y4  have been learning all about Ancient Greece. Within this learning, we have been exploring some relevant vocabulary, too.

For your homework, we’d like you to learn the different vocabulary. You may know some, all or none of the meanings of the words already.

The pieces are vocabulary are: oligarchy, empire, bias, government, democracy, chronology, influence, legacy, citizen.

The definitions are below.

There are lots of fun ways you can learn our vocabulary and help remember what each word means:
Draw it – draw a picture to go with each word
Flash cards – make a set of flashcards that have each word on
Actions – you could create some actions to go with each word
Sentences – can you make a sentence containing a word?
Songs/rhymes – can you make these to help your remembering?
