Key Information:
- A wide selection of quality books have been purchased for this class this year and your child is encouraged to take home a book every day. Each time you sign to show your child has read at home, they will receive a marble towards their team jar. The team with the most marbles at the end of the week will be crown team of the week!
- Homework will be set on Friday and due in the following Friday unless stated otherwise on the homework (A longer time will be set for projects)
- Spellings will be learnt at school and tested on Mondays. Please click on link: school-links-spellingjournalyear4southwark-1
- In your child’s homework diary, they will have a green stamp at the end of each day to show they are following our school’s ‘Good to be Green’ behaviour policy. If they do not get a green stamp it is because they have not ended the day on a green card or have received a red card during the day. You will be notified by text if a red card consequence has occurred.
This week our learning will be as follows;
- In mathematics we will learn to carry out column subtraction of numbers up to four digits.
- In English we will conclude our work based on the boy at the back of the class by Onjali Rauf.
- In science we will learn about the basics of how food is digested.
- Our blocked foundation subject this week is computing. We will learn to use Scratch to create an educational game.
All children will have PE on Wednesday. Southwark Class will have their first swimming lesson on Tuesday and Millennium Class will have PE on Friday.
[dropshadowbox align=”none” effect=”lifted-both” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#f8f85a” border_width=”1″ border_color=”#dddddd” ]Children should bring to school a water bottle, homework diary and reading book each day. Some children will also bring a packed lunch. They do not need to bring anything else. While some of the rules to prevent Covid have been relaxed, we still need too take precautions. Unfortunately children are still not able to bring in cakes on their birthdays and should not bring anything else to give out to others.[/dropshadowbox]
We hope that everyone has had a good half term. This week our learning is as follows;
- In mathematics we work on column addition of numbers up to four digits. We will also learn to solve missing number problems involving column addition.
- In English we will continue our work based on the Boy at the Back of the Class. We will use role play and respond to poetry.
- In science we will begin a new unit of work on Teeth and Eating.
- Our blocked foundation subject this week is geography. We will develop our maps skills and look at co-ordinates, position and direction.
Both year 4 classes will do PE on Wednesday. Millenium Class will have their final swimming lesson on Tuesday and Southwark Class will do PE on Thursday.
In relationship and health education this week we will be following the NSPCCs PANTS curriculum. This is designed to help children to stay safe from sexual abuse in a non-explicit and age appropriate way. Further information can be found at;
