RSE
Well done year 4 for being super mature and curious in our RSE lessons this week. We’re very proud of you for your respectful conversations in class.
Track and forest day
Your child can bring in a bicycle on the penultimate day of term (see above). They should also come into school in clothes suitable for the forest (long sleeves and trousers, suitable footwear to change into, coat or hat/suncream depending on the weather).
Our learning this week:
Maths: This week, we have moved onto statistics, interpreting and drawing line graphs and charts. They also completed arithmetic assessments.
English: Finishing their stories on Monday, the children then went on to edit, polish and publish their work before undertaking some spelling and grammar assessments at the end of the week.
Science
The children enjoyed researching and producing a poster about endangered animals around the world, finding out the reasons for their threatened status and ways in which people are helping to increase these populations in the wild.
Speak Out Stay Safe
This week the children received an assembly and follow up lesson on the NSPCC Speak Up Stay Safe programme, learning about the different forms of abuse, identifying their trusted adults and finding out how to contact Childline. They also spend some time investigating the Childline website, playing games on it and completing a survey.
Computing
Thank you so much Juniper parents for providing your Juniper child with a shoe box this week. They had a fabulous afternoon designing their sets for their stop animations (to be filmed next week). Miss Dingle reports that they were all so creative in their designs, and that they were also fantastic at helping their friends and working together. Well done Juniper. Ash Class will design their sets next week.
Homework:
Maths: Please complete the assigned sessions of Times Table Rockstars that have been set. You can log in at this link https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school. The children should be completing 15 minutes per week. This will be 5 minutes in the Soundcheck area and 10 minutes in the Garage.
Reading: Please read five times a week at home. Reading completed in school does not count towards the five times. Please remember to send in reading books with your child
every day.
Spellings: Due to technical issues this week, some children have found it difficult to access their spelling homework. Hopefully, there should be homework on there now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Please complete 8 games on Spelling Shed. www.edshed.com
Have a great weekend!
Mr Seldon and Mrs Loudwill
