Hi everyone, 

I hope you all had a lovely, sunny Easter - I'm sure you've had lots of fun over the past couple of weeks!

From now on you will be using Microsoft Teams where I can communicate with you all,  you can share the amazing project work that you  do and you can see what one another are getting up to! The good thing about Microsoft Teams is that the Team  that I have set up will just  be for our class to view. You can comment on each other’s work or post things on it that you think your classmates would like to see, that you encounter  or experience  during the day or on a weekend. I am very excited, knowing you as I do, that you will produce some fantastic project work and will share your experiences at home, supporting each other along the way.

Year 3 and 4 topic: 

Our new topic is, 'Predators'. I have no doubts you will love this topic!

Firstly, can you research what a predator is? 

Your task: 

Use the web to find out about ferocious insect predators, such as assassin bugs, tiger beetles, dragonflies and antlions. Search for information about their habitats, favourite foods and how they catch their prey. Use ICT or pens and paper to produce a 'wanted' poster of a favourite predatory insect for display.

Take a look at some of these useful videos:
