Home Reading
Please continue to support your child to read at home. This can be a mixture of them reading independently, reading to you and you reading to them.
Spellings
Spelling focus: words from the Y3/4 Statutory word list
We are beginning spelling tests on Fridays. The spellings will be glued into your child’s diary every week.
Times Tables
3x table and moving onto the 6x table.
Keep an eye out in diaries for your child’s progress stickers. As last year we will work through the Bronze (in order) Silver (mixed up) and Gold (Division facts) for each times table.
TTRockstars- Let’s see how many Y4 rock stars we can get on the leader board! Login details are on a sticker in your child’s diary.
This week we have…
Writing...enjoyed using a report about Usain Bolt to help us draft our own report about Katherine Johnson. Next week we will begin our new unit of work and a new book.
Shared Reading: We have loved finishing ‘Seen and Not Heard’ and writing a book review about it. Next week we will begin a new book. Your child will have a sticker with the theme for reading in their diary on Tuesdays.
Maths has been all about place value activities- adding 10, 100, 1000, comparing 4-digit numbers and next week will continue with this theme.
We have been enjoying mindfulness time to relax, colour and listen to mindful meditation and lots of our Goldfinches are really improving in their fitness during our daily track time.
History: We had so much fun using a kitchen roll timeline to turn back time all the way back to the Stone Age. We nearly ended up in Mrs Aston’s office it was so long!!!
ART: we have practised blending water colours and using acrylic paint on top to create our stunning Remembrance crosses for a beautiful display in church.
Computing: We loved working together to use the Sketch Nation App to find out which genre of games Goldfinches like best.
Parents Evening: Please use School Spider to sign up for a time for a Parents’ evening phone call on Thursday 12th November.
If you haven’t yet done so, please return the Teddy permission slip or e-mail the school office to give your permission for your child to spend time with Teddy when he is in school.
Anti-Bullying week. 16th-20th November. This year the theme is ‘United Against Bullying’. On Monday 16th November your child can come to school wearing Odd Socks if they would like to. This is to celebrate and highlight the fact that everybody is unique.
We are collecting copper coins to fill a Pudsey Bear for Children In Need. Please send any spare coins into school with your child.
Finally, thank you all for your continued support, please e-mail or phone the school office if you would like to contact me about anything.
