Year 4 Archive

Well done to Birch Swimming group one for completing your block of swimming lessons. It has been lovely to see you all improve and increase in confidence over the past seven weeks. We had great fun playing with the floats and swimming equipment today!

Thanks for your continued support.

Miss Jones 🙂

Well done Birch and Chestnut for persevering through your assessments this week and trying your best. Home Learning this week is to practise your times tables, we only have 8 more Times Table challenges until the end of year 4!

The expectation is that all children should have completed at least Gold by the end of the year, who can challenge themselves to move up a level before the end of term? Please see your class teacher if you would like any sheets to practise at home 🙂

The competition between Birch and Chestnut is firing up this week, who will take the Busters Book Club trophy next week?

Target: To have 100% of children in both classes contribute. Parents please make sure you are signing reading records.

Our current star readers are:

Birch: Frankey, Yasmine, Sophie B, Katherine, Isabel W, Lily H, Valentine and Hayden.

Chestnut: Zac, Rebecca, Medard, Lily, Louisa, Alannah, Roxy, Ryan, Ruby, Erin and  Faith.

Thanks for your continued support.

In Maths this week we have been focusing on multiplication and division in preparation for assessments next week. Home Learning is to complete the calculations using grid method for multiplication and vertical number line or chunking for division (ask your children to explain the purpose of a fact bank).

In SPAG this week we have continued to focus on contractions. Please complete the ‘its’ or ‘it’s’ worksheet.

As ever please continue to read and practise times tables and spellings.

Thanks for your continued support.

There has been repeated reported cases of head lice in Year 4 recently. Please ensure that you check your child’s hair regularly.

We hope you made the most of the Bank Holiday weekend.

In Maths we have been learning the Roman Numerals from 1 (I) to 100 (C). Maths Home Learning this week is to complete a 100 square in Roman Numerals.

One of the focuses for SPAG this week has been contractions. For Home Learning you need to finish the statements adding in the correct contraction e.g. you will is contracted to you’ll.

Thank you for the fantastic efforts with your reading this week it has been great to see so many of you reading everyday, keep it up! The competition between Birch and Chestnuts for the Buster’s Book Club trophy is fierce! Who will take the title this week? Chestnuts are secretly hoping to reclaim the trophy this week from Birch! Keep an eye out on the class windows to see who are our reading champions of the week, these will be children who have read and recorded daily!

Thanks for your continued support.

Today, we thoroughly enjoyed learning about farming, tractors and seeds. Thank you to Mr and Mrs Wimble for kindly giving up their time and bringing a HUGE TRACTOR, which was a big hit with all!

 

Welcome back everyone, it so was so nice to see you all looking smart and ready for the term ahead.

Please ensure that the correct school PE kits are back in school tomorrow and named as kit is frequently lost. A reminder of the correct kit is listed below:

For PE all children need

 White t-shirt.

 School navy blue PE shorts.

 Black plimsolls (slip on or Velcro if your child can not tie laces themselves).

 A pair of trainers for outdoor games for Key Stage 2.

All children should be wearing the correct school uniform and sensible black school shoes.

Are there any Grandads out there that have a few hours to spare who would like to help out with a gardening project that Year 4 will be leading? We would love to hear from you after the Easter Break.
