Week beginning 9.3.20

Date: 5th Mar 2020 @ 8:23pm

An absolutely wonderful effort from all Goldfinches on our World Book Day on Wednesday. Everyone looked fantastic and thank you for all the efforts you made to create such fantastic costumes. 

We enjoyed the fun but very thought provoking Adrift play on Wednesday afternoon which has provided an excellent hook for our new Homes topic.

Diaries: please support your child to write the name of the books they are reading into their diaries as this helps us to monitor their progress and choices (this includes school books, free choice books and books from home) We are still aiming for our children to try and read daily for approximately 15 mins and we would still like them to read aloud to an adult for some of their home reads. Thank you for your support with this.

Coming up:

Monday 9th: Science workshop for Goldfinches. 

Tues 10th: Llandudno meeting for parents 3.15pm (approximately half an hour) 

Writing- we will be starting our new class text.

Reading- will will continue to use an extract of a story to build up our vocabulary and deduce information using clues.

Spelling: words ending with the sound g which is spelt with  'gue' e.g.: Prague, 

Maths-  Area of shapes and arithmetic skills.

TT Rock stars: this is in the process of being renewed and is currently unavailable so please challenge yourself with TOPMARKS Hit the Button to help increase speed and accuracy. In addition- try out the mathsframe resource which is very much in the style of the National Times Table test for Y4 which will be in June.
