Welcome to Goldfinches’ Weekly Blog

What an amazing week we had last week!

Our Goldfinches were an absolute credit and we all had so much fun.

Friday Superstar: The Whole Class

Top Table: Yara and Connor

Bank holiday Monday- No School

Writing: We will use varied nouns and pronouns to avoid repetition through writing a letter to describe the eruption on the island.

Reading: We will continue with Ariki and the Island of Wonders and focus on drawing inferences about characters and settings using evidence from the text.

Reading homework- regular reading, little and often is so supportive at this age to enable your child to read with confidence, speed and fluency.

Spelling homework:  This week’s spellings are words with the ir prefix- ROLLED OVER FROM LAST WEEK

Spellings: (they are tricky so only 5 this week) irresistible, irrelevant, irresponsible, irregular, irrational

Maths: We will continue to learn methods to solve division problems.

Times Tables Homework: The National Multiplication test for Y4 is coming up in June so please support your child to become fluent in their times tables up to 12x12

Art: We will complete our Llandudno sketch maps as beautiful memories of our trip away.

PE: Friday – Athletics with Mr Ault
