All about Chocolate

As we are nearing the end of our topic about chocolate, it is time to see how much has been understood and remembered.

We will be completing a book with chapters detailing each of the areas we have studied: History, Geography, Religious Studies and Science.

In order to include as many facts as possible Year 4 will be encouraged to reflect on all the research they have done in class and for homework. The children may want to print out maps, diagrams or pictures to improve the presentation of their book.

Reading Comprehension

We have been doing a variety of activities which check that we are understanding what we are reading. We have found out about the chocolate making process and Remembrance Day too.
This weekend the children will bring home a reading comprehension activity based on The Iron Man. They may also choose to write and answer 5 questions about their own reading book.

It is important that the children are able to locate their answers rather than just rely on memory.
We have been reminding the children about PQRS.

P  = Passage (Read the passage carefully)

Q  = Questions (Read the questions carefully)

R  = Re-read the passage

S  = Start answering the questions

Caburys or Frys?

Choose one of these famous chocolate families and find out more about their history.

• Key dates, names and events.
• Their religion (there are other famous confectionary making families who are part of this religion too!)
• What part of the UK did they originate from and set up their factories?

We would like you to use your note taking skills to write down these key facts and more!
