Year 4/Year 3/Table 2

Focus theme: Never Smile at a Crocodile! This week will begin with a look at crocodile facts and films, followed by stories and poems to enjoy together.

• View this film about crocodiles and enjoy finding out about them with an adult: Crocodile – My Animal Friends at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZQe17gvPZg
• Watch the film clip again. View a small section of each film at a time, pause the film, discuss key facts and write them down. Also write down any new vocabulary you have encountered. Repeat until the film is ended.
• Discuss and review all the information you have found out about crocodiles.  Look up some of the new words you have heard in a dictionary or by using Word Hippo. https://www.wordhippo.com/  
• Create a fact file/ poster about crocodiles. Challenge – to include ten sentences about crocodiles in the fact file/poster. Consider writing as if you were a crocodile using the information, e.g.

• I am…
• I eat…
• I only…
• I like…
• If I am angry, I …
• etc.

• Check spelling and punctuation in each sentence together. Share the fact file/poster with other family members in your house, or with friends and family via online video platforms and email me or upload to Facebook, explaining what you have learned about crocodiles.
