Geography: Mediterranean Homework

In Geography, we are learning lots about the Mediterranean Sea and the countries that surround it. For your homework, can you pick a country that has a coast on the Mediterranean and research it? 

You should include the following information about your country:

  • Location
  • Population
  • Climate
  • Bordering countries
  • Physical features (such as mountains/rivers)

You can present your homework however you like! When you finish, ask a trusted adult at home to email your work to me and we can share it on our class page.

Home Learning

Should your child be isolating at home, they will be able to access learning tasks on this page. These will be linked to some of the work we will be doing in class. Please feel free to send in pictures of your child’s home learning as we would love to see what they are getting up to. You can email me at: j.monks@northcote.liverpool.sch.uk

 

Reading

It is very important that your child keeps up their reading at home. Children will still be expected to read at least four times a week, using one of our online resources:

All children have now been allocated a login for Bug Club. Bug Club gives your child access to at home reading books at their specific reading level. Children can access the reading books online and progress through the reading levels with your support at home. 

If you have any questions about Bug Club or need your child’s login information, please email me at j.monks@northcote.liverpool.sch.uk

Your child can login to to Bug Club here: http://www.activelearnprimary.co.uk

 

If you are having trouble accessing Bug Club via your device, please try the following steps:
  1. Go to ‘Settings’ and select ‘Safari’
  2. Switch off ‘Prevent Cross-site tracking’
If you are still having problems, please contact your child’s class teacher and we will investigate further.
Thank you for your ongoing patience and support.

Children can access stories online, which helps develop their fluency, understanding and vocabulary. Children’s progress can be monitored by myself, therefore, it’s a great way for me to see how your child is progressing.

Important Information

  • We have P.E on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please ensure your child’s full P.E. kit is in school for those days. P.E kits will be sent home at the end of each half term.

 

  • In order to keep everyone safe, please stand behind the marked area at drop off and pick up times.  This will ensure all children and staff have space to enter and exit their marked area safely. Remember to wear a face covering if you are able to.

 

  • All children will require a water bottle. Please ensure this contains water only. Children will be able to refill their bottles in class.
