welcome to Beech

Welcome to Year 4
2019/2020
Mr Almond, Mrs Starmer-Smith and Mrs Thorn would like to welcome you to Year 4.

This year is going to be an exciting one, with fun packed activities and learning. All staff are relishing the opportunity of working with your children. If you are not already connected to our Class Do-Jo pages then please connect via the invitation. These pages will contain information, class photos and so much more to help keep you connected and part of your child’s school life in Year 4.

Our focus for this term is about Our Local Environment, map reading, animals and their habitats and more.

Year four were lucky enough to spend the day with the F51 team in Folkestone. We had a go at yoga, football, street dance, skateboarding, scooter riding, gymnastics and skate board design. We all agreed that it was a brilliant day, topped off by the BBC recording the events. You may have spotted us on the local news!

Summer Term Overview.

Congratulations to Birch Class who were awarded the trophy this week for greatest improvement to their TTRS score! Please make sure that all children are consistently logging on to TTRS at home as all times tables need to be learnt by the end of the year.

Keep it up.

A huge well done to Eva from Beech class regarding her positive attitude towards learning.

Unfortunately year 4 were not successful in retaining the Busters Bookclub trophy this week. However, a real effort may see us at the top of the leader board once again.

Though Reading Plus is going from strength to strength more effort is required if the children are to attain the levels and literary freedom they undoubtedly deserve.

Congratulations to Sam from Beech Class for being awarded ‘Star of the Week’ for his excellent attitude towards his schoolwork.

A huge well done to Birch as they have won Busters Book Club again. Lets keep up the hard-work.

Congratulations to both Birch and Beech with their continued effort towards TTRS. An extra well done to Birch especially as they were the most improved class.

A big well done to Birch for maintaining their position at the top spot for Reading Plus. Beech should also be congratulated regarding the increased amount of reading being done at home.

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.

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.
