This week’s homework is Talk Time and is due in on Wednesday 15 June 2011.

I can talk about ‘old things’ in my community.

As an introduction to our topic this term, I want you to discuss the history of your community. ‘Old things’ can be anything that is not new, but if you’re struggling to come up with something, here are some suggestions:

• Older buildings in the local area. How do they compare with the modern ones?
• Older people in the community. Our elders can tell us a lot about what our community looked like before we were around. Why not ask someone you know who is older than you what your local environment looked like before you were around?
• Why not take a trip to the local library to look at some pictures of what your local community used to look like?

We will be learning about your local community this week, so make sure you find out some interesting facts!

Our most recent project

Year Four had an amazing time at the CLC centre last week. The children used skills such as researching, script writing, selecting images, editing and acting!

The end product was a news report.

Henry, Ebony and Georgia appear to have natural talent for news reporting!

Researchers hard at work

At Allerton Grange, we used the Apple computers to research our news reports.
