- 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.

Maths – We will be subtracting fractions from whole amounts, finding fractions of a quantity and then using fractions to calculate quantities.
English – This half term, we shall be continuing our fantastic text (the title will be revealed to children only this week!) We will be editing our continuations of the story, reading the next 2 pages and responding to the next set of illustrations, thinking about our likes, dislikes and any puzzles and patterns. We will be focusing on editing our work this week, spotting errors in punctuation and spelling and continuing to think about handwriting with neat diagonal and horizontal joins.
Science – We are beginning a unit on teeth and digestion. If any family has connections with a dentist, dental nurse please let us know as we would love to make links to support your child’s learning.
Geography-We will be exploring caring for the environment through the story ‘The Lorax’ by Dr Seuss. We will then be focusing on one particular rainforest plant and looking at the journey from seed to the shops.
