Skylarks W.B. 5.10.20

Date: 1st Oct 2020 @ 8:21am

Hi everyone!

Welcome back to Skylarks weekly blog.

We have had another super, hard-working week. I’m sure you are aware that we have welcomed Teddy back into school and the children have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with him and taking on extra responsibilities to help look after him 😊

If you haven't already given your written consent for your child to interact with him, then please do so via School Gateway or email as soon as possible. 

Next week

Next week in our writing lessons, we will be preparing to write our final piece from our current unit. We will begin by analysing a model text, before planning our own magazine articles.

In maths we will be developing our knowledge of place value to include numbers up to 1,000,000.

Our reading lessons next week will continue to look at drawing inferences. We will be practicing ‘thinking out loud’ and ‘visualising’ to help us answer questions quickly and efficiently.

In art, we will be exploring the terms hue, tint, tone and shade. We will experiment with these techniques using paint.

Home Reading and Spellings

Thank you again to the children who have been reading at home. We already have lots of raffles in our jar!

We have had a few questions regarding spelling tests this week. We will begin to send spelling words home to learn after October half term. Please be assured that although spellings are not being sent home, spelling lessons are happening daily in school. We are working on consolidating the Year 4 spelling rules, before moving on to the Year 5 spellings.

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.

Mr Ault also does an after-school club on a Monday just for Skylarks class.

As the weather is getting colder and wetter, please send your child to school with an appropriate coat. We are keen to spend as much time outdoors as possible 😊

Thank you so much for your continued support at home. If you need anything or have any queries please do not hesitate to get in contact.

Have a lovely weekend!

Miss Beattie
