Year 4

 

Week beginning 6th October

This week we began our samba drumming and the children had a brilliant time!

Next week is our Survival Day (Thursday 16th October). Please send your child dressed as an explorer if they wish as we will be doing a variety of survival activities throughout the day! If you have any questions, please ask one of the Year 4 team

We have also been looking at changing states of matter in science. We learnt how cream can be turned to butter, how to change chocolate from a solid to a liquid and how to change water from a liquid to a gas. Here are some pictures from our lessons:

Homework:

Please check the homework overview at the bottom of this page, we will share and display the home learning in class. 

My Maths will be set each week and the task is due every Thursday

Reading:

Remember to read at home as much as possible! If children read three times at home, they get a raffle ticket.

Reading Raffle – Please encourage your child to record in their yellow reading record when they have read at home. 

3 reads a week = 1 raffle ticket 

5 or more reads a week = 2 raffle tickets 

Library Day is on a Wednesday for both classes. 

Your child regularly reads with an adult, both individually and during whole-class reading lessons. In Year 4, children are encouraged to take responsibility for changing their own reading books as needed.

Please note that we do not always write in your child's reading record. This is because we keep our own detailed record in school, and avoiding duplication allows us to spend more time directly supporting the pupils.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support in fostering a love for reading. If you have any questions regarding reading, then please speak to a member of the Year 4 team.

At the end of every other term, two names from each class will be drawn in Worship and those children will make a special trip ( with a book) to our local Costa to enjoy a babyccino!
