Skylarks W.B. 12.10.20

Happy Thursday everyone 😊

Skylarks have had another fantastic week in school.

Next week

Next week in our writing lessons we will be producing our final piece of writing based on the book ‘Of Thee I Sing’. To begin, we will be using our plans that we wrote this week to draft our own magazine articles. We will then edit and publish our work using ‘Microsoft Word’. The children have been so enthusiastic throughout this unit of work and worked really hard this week during the planning stage that I already can’t wait to read their final articles!

In maths we will be continuing to focus on Place Value. We will be focussing on rounding numbers up to 1,000,000 to the nearest 10, 100, 1000 and 10,000. We will also be looking at negative numbers and counting through zero.  

Our reading lessons next week will look at making predictions based on information read so far.

In our topic lessons we will be revising our Year 4 topic ‘Ancient Greece’. The children will be sharing and recording what knowledge they can remember. This helps to make our knowledge ‘sticky’ so that we don’t forget it.

On Thursday, the children in Skylarks class will have a Computing Day where they will continue to make their own presentation about ‘How Computers Impact our Lives’ using the app ‘Keynote’.

Home Reading and Times Tables

Please continue to read with your child at home, this can be a mixture of them reading aloud to you and them reading independently. Please remind your child to write in their diary and have it signed by an adult in order to earn a reading raffle ticket in school. A huge well done to the children who are earning raffle tickets on a weekly basis! 😊

PE

Just a little reminder that PE is currently on a Monday so please send your child to school in their PE kit on this day. This should be either plain black or plain navy shorts, leggings or tracksuit bottoms.

Thank you so much for your continued support. If you need anything at all please do not hesitate to get in contact via the office, either by phone or email.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
