Year 4 - Summer Support
We hope that you enjoy the activities that have been planned for you. Follow the links below to access the recommended webpages and videos to help you to practise the knowledge that you have learnt this year.
Reading
Whether you're sat on the beach, relaxing in your back garden or even having a lazy morning curled up in bed, it’s always a great time to lose yourself in a good book. Play ‘Book Bingo’ below - can you compelte a line or even shout ‘Book Bingo!’ by completing the whole chart? Record the titles you read in your summer diary. You could also write a mini review if you like!
Read a set of instructions for making a model, playing a game or a recipe

Writing
Each week, write a diary entry in your summer diary. This could include things you have done, things you have enjoyed or things you are looking forward to in Year 5. Perhaps your special diary will become a primary source of information that historians in the the future will read to find out what life was like in the Summer of 2021! Make sure it is written in your very best joined handwriting and punctuated correctly.
