Hello Year 4,
Every group or ‘island’ in our school has been given a real island to study. This week we would like you to complete a project researching all about your ‘island’.
If you are in the Mon/Tues group then you are studying The Greek islands.
If you are in school on Thursday/Friday you are researching Madagascar.
This week we would you to start researching your island and creating a fact file booklet of information.
Here are some ideas of areas that you could research about…
Location of the island
Animals/nature
Climate
Flag
Landmarks
Food
Languages
National dress
Currency (what is the money called)
Things the island does to make money e.g. tourism, natural resources?
Travel – how long does it take to get there from the UK?
Tallest mountain/longest river
Population
leaders
Famous people
What activities can you do on the island?
Your booklet could include a decorated front cover, different pages with different areas you have researched on each page, headings, subheadings, drawings, captions, facts, diagrams, a contents page etc.
Here are some websites to help start you off…
