Investigative Topic Tasks
New Home Learning Update
We are making a small change to our home learning following feedback from our school community. Each week, there will be one topic task for all children to complete, instead of the previous rotation. This will be the same task for everyone in our class and will help children to prepare and contribute for the topic lesson in the following week.
The task will support children to feel prepared and confident, help them be successful in their learning, and broaden their vocabulary, enabling them to continue making good progress across all subjects.
We know weeks can be busy, but even spending a small amount of time on the topic task is valuable. It is important that all children have a go and are able to feel successful sharing their own research and ideas within our classroom.
Thank you for your continued support with home learning!
Term 4 Week 1 Investigative Topic Task |
Thursday 26th February – Tuesday 3rd March |
Science - Electrical Circuits and Components |
For this week’s home learning task, you will investigate how everyday devices are programmed to respond to changes in their environment.
Look around your home for devices that react to light, sound, movement or temperature, such as motion lights, thermostats or automatic phone brightness.
For each device, identify the input (what it senses), the sensor, the environmental variable, and the output (what it does or produces).
Choose at least one device and write simple instructions, such as an algorithm or code, explaining how it works.
In your write-up, you must correctly use at least six subject-specific words, such as input, output, sensor, variable, program, algorithm, data or system.

Reading
Each week, the children will bring home a reading sheet. These should be completed and returned by the next Tuesday.
Please ensure you hear your child read regularly and record on Boom Reader using the parent app on your tablet/mobile no more than once a week:
Some helpful questions to ask the children and check their understanding as they read have been pasted below.
Children should bring their Accelerated Reading book to and from school each day. When they have finished reading their current book, children are asked to complete a quiz before choosing the next one:

Please note: pupil login details have changed slightly due to an upgrade that has taken place on the Accelerated Reader platform. Pupil login details (user name and password) should now be enter in all lower case (no capital letters at all). These login details are used each time your child quizzes a school reading book which carries an accelerated reading quiz code.
