Year 4 Homework
Date set: 08.06.2018
Date Due:15.06.2018
Reading:
Please write in your reading
diary when you have read. You will have been allocated a Bug Club book to read
at home, which will be different to the one that you are reading in school. Check
with your teacher if you are not sure which one is which. Don’t forget to
answer the ‘bugs’- look out for them on each page! Please don’t “close” the
book until all the bugs have been answered.
Maths
(20mins):
You have been set some work
on Mathletics to revise some of the topics that we have covered this term. The
topics set will depend on what your teacher thinks you need to revise.
Please also
practise your times tables and division facts up to 12x12.
Science:
As part of our science topic on habitats we visit Crane Park Nature
Reserve to study the habitats there in some detail.
For homework we would like you to carry out some research about what life
you would expect to find in a stream.
On the blog write about the animals you may expect to find (or did find)
and how they fit into a food chain within the habitat.
Spellings (20mins)
These should be practised for
a short time each day, using the words given in sentences.
You need to:
• look at each word
• say the word
• copy the word in first
space
• cover the words and try to
write it from memory
• check to see if they are
right
This week we are looking at

At a stream you would find a frog which will be hoping around swimming or catching flies. A frog is a possible secondary consumer if the fly is the primary consumer.
ReplyDeleteRivers and streams
ReplyDeleteRivers and streams, burns, brooks and springs – the names are varied but the flora and fauna all have to cope with the same thing: water that flows continuously in one direction. If you live here you need a way to avoid being washed downstream and ultimately into the sea. Plants and animals have to be able to cling on, hide away from the flow or swim against the current.
What animals would you expect to see in a stream?
ReplyDeleteCatfish
I think you would see catfish which are fish which make sure that the water is clean and they make sure the population of the fish is not to big or not to small.
Minnows
Minnows are known as little fish however they can grow really large in their natural habitat. They can differ into other streams.
Sculpin
They are not good swimmers but they are experts in hiding and camouflage.
Stickleback
They are tiny fish which are usually spotted thanks to distinctive spikes along their body
I think these would be found in the stream and a part of the food chain:
ReplyDeleteIt would start of with things like slugs, wood lice, flies, baby shrimp and baby salmon being eaten by spiders, dung beetles, stag beetles, and baby fish. Those would be eaten by lizards,frogs, and water snakes. Then lastly those would be eaten by bigger fish, and ducks.
I expected to find animals such as toads,frogs bullhead fish and shrimp etc: on the trip I realised that bullhead fish has little coloured fins on the side of it and that it camouflages
ReplyDeletevery well with its natural environment.I also found shrimp at crane park shrimp beautiful animals with their colourful body.They gave me shock because I didn't expect to see shrimp.
1.) Woodlouse: Woodlouses main predators are shrew,spiders,toads and centipedes
2.) Stag Beetle: stag beetles main Predators are rats, foxes ,rodents, dogs, cats, and bats
3.) Centipedes: centipedes, main Predators are shrews, toads,badgers, foxes, domestic chickens, ground beetles, ants, and spiders
4.)grasshopper: grasshopper birds, rodents,skunk,spiders,also horsehair worms
Crane Park Nature Reserve !
ReplyDeleteThe river in Crane Park might have algae, moss, frogs, fish& mosquitoes.
Bird => frog => mosquito=> fish=> plant-> sun.
There might also be birds that eat the fish & frogs.
Crane => Frog => Fly => smelly dog poo
The habitat in the river is not the place you want to live in. the surface of the water is very dirty.
We went to Crane Park today and did very exciting activities there. River dipping and Mini Beast hunting.
I found creatures that I did not expect to find like newt, huge beetles.
I also found bull head fish, stone loach fish, fresh water shrimps and leeches in the stream.
During our mini beast hunting I found wood lice, newt, beetle, earthworm, ants, dragon fly, butter fly, spider, harvestmen
