Today we had a few mummies in our class! The children were tasked with making a mummy in three minutes. As you can see some teams had thought about the process.

Sophie L – Birch
Well done!

Well done to Year 4 this week for making great improvements with reading. Birch Class were awarded Nicholas Bear for their efforts with Reading Plus and Beech Class have made strides to completing more reading activities.
The school have started their reading reward scheme, which is recognised in Celebration Assembly with those children who have read five or seven times a week having the chance to win a book of their choice.

Jimmy – Beech Class

Mrs. Whitehead and Mr. Almond would like to wish all the children from Year 4 and their families a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Please have a very enjoyable festive season and we will see you back to school on January 7th 2019.

Welcome to Birch and Beech

 

A big well done to everyone in Year 4 regarding Buster’s Book Club. It is clearly evident that children are reading more every week.

Well done to Birch for winning the Busters Book Club trophy for the most children reading for the week.

Please remember to record your reading on your Buster’s Book Club bookmark or reading log. Failing this parents should tell the teacher verbally if their child has read and for how long.

 

 

 

 

 

Year 4 has made significant progress with Times Table Rock Stars and should be very happy with themselves. Well done to Birch for most improved class.

Our current leaders are Lucy (Birch) and Jaiden (Beech) with scores of 1.60 and 1.97 seconds to answer one question.

 

Congratulations to Chloe from Birch Class for being awarded ‘Star of the Week’ for her excellent effort towards reading.

Excellent progress with Reading Plus across Year 4 this week and over the term as a whole. Lets continue with this attitude.

Well done to Birch who are currently at the top of the leader board. This is a brilliant accomplishment.

 

Year 4 participated in Sportshall Athletics at Marsh Academy today in partnership with the Kent Sports Trust.  All the children enjoyed the event and competed with great sportsmanship.

Both teams did extremely well, we were especially pleased with our A Team who received the gold medal.

Term 5 Week 4

A huge well done this week to Harry who has shown true perseverance in both his maths and English work.

Well done to year 4 for their indubitable determination with Buster’s Book Club.

Many children are showing a growing interest with this, which is distinctly represented by the high percentage of class reading in regards to the quantity and the numbers taking part.

A big congratulations to Chestnut this week for winning the Buster’s Book Club trophy in KS2.

Reading Plus is going from strength to strength with most children continually improving their reading scores every week. A huge thank you to all parents help with their children’s home involvement with this and may it continue.

Though many are participating regularly at home, there is still a need for many to do this. I cannot emphasise the importance in which this will have on children’s overall reading, especially towards areas such as comprehension.

Year 4 can now boast a Rock Legend, four Rock Stars, a multitude of Headliners and lots of Support acts.

This is truly amazing, though this could be even better if we are ensuring that the children are regularly accessing TTRS at home as well as in school.

Fountain Pens 

Well done to both Birch and Chestnut in regards to the attainment of fountain pens. There are now 12 children who possess them and more are working hard with this aim in mind.
