Welcome to Goldfinches’ Weekly Blog
Happy New Year everyone. I hope you all had a happy and relaxed holiday.
It was lovely to see all of your smiling faces today and hear some of your holiday news.
This week:
Worship: This week in worship we are learning about the importance of Epiphany and finding out how it is celebrated in different countries.
Writing: We will make predictions about our new English book and recap noun phrases and expanded noun phrases.
Reading: Our new Reading text is a non-fiction book on Volcanoes.
Reading homework- please keep up the great work with our mission to read for 15 minutes daily at home. This helps so much with our reading, imagination, punctuation and sentence structure… but, more importantly, is so much fun!
Spelling homework: The spellings are from the Y3/4 Statutory word list.
This week’s words: century, circle, certain, complete, consider, continue, decide, describe, different, difficult
Maths: We are learning to subtract using the formal column method.
Times Tables Homework:
Try Tommy’s Trek to practise x6, x9 with division facts, or challenge yourself to mixed tables. https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/318/Tommys-Trek-Times-Tables
Science: We will learn about the function of each part of the digestive system.
History: We will learn about the legacies left by the Ancient Greeks- Olympics, Alphabet, Architecture, Democracy, and Famous Greek people.
PE: PE will be on Wednesday and Friday this week. Please remember to tie long hair back and remove earrings on PE days. As the outside area can get quite wet, please send in a spare pair of shoes and socks for your child to change into should they need to.
PSHCE: Our Heart Smart lesson focused on listening to our positive inner voice and choosing to ignore the negative to keep our hearts happy.
Music: We will begin our Ukulele lessons this week.
As always, please don’t hesitate to contact us if you would like to discuss your child.
