Due to technical issues with My Maths, homework this week is to focus on 4 and 6 times tables. The spelling focus this week is tricky ‘th’ words. E.g. thought, threw, they’re, their, through, thorough, think and tough. This will be tested on Wednesday.

Thanks,

Year 4 team.

Please see enclosed the updated timetable which now includes PSHE.

Thanks,

Year 4 team.

Today 13.09.16 we celebrated Roald Dahl day by watching part of the stage production of Matilda.

 

It was lovely to see the children all looking smart and eager to learn. It has been lovely to meet you all this past week and we hope you are continuing to enjoy this lovely sunny weather. During this sunny spell could all children please ensure that they have a water bottle and sun hat in school.

We have a full year of exciting learning ahead as you can all see from the attached overview.

Our first topic is Fashion, this is a chance for you all to dig out all of those items you’ve been storing away in the hope that they become trendy again! We would love it if you could lend or donate any items for our displays please. This could include photographs of you wearing the trends throughout the years (we promise not to laugh!).

Hopefully swimming will start during the beginning of October, we are currently waiting for a call from Hythe pool to confirm that the roof has been refurbished. Children will bring letters home nearer the time to let you know which class and children will be on the first mini bus.

We have enclosed a weekly timetable. Please note that PE is on a Friday and children should have named kit in school before this day.

Thanks,

Year 4 team.
