Happy Friday! What a week, description writing, assessments and gymnastic moves! This week, we have been working on assessments in Maths and English, in Science, we completed our topic of Space by looking at the universe and astronomers and we completed our History unit of Anglo-Saxons. We have a new coach working with us on a rota, so I will let you know which weeks we will have them and this will be on a Friday. We will have a session with him next Friday, so P.E. kits on Thursday and Friday next week. Next week, we will begin a new English text, a new Science and Geography topic and will continue our Maths unit on Perimeter and Length. We will begin a new Science unit on Light and a new Geography unit on Migration. We are also continuing to practise our Times Tables, please see the links below and on Dojo, for the expectations on these. In terms of home learning, can I remind everybody that the expectation is that children read for at least 10 minutes at home everyday, this can be magazines, newspapers, manuals, cookery books, as well as their reading books, as it is all reading. I would also like children to spend time working on their times tables, which are vital in so many areas of the Maths curriculum, I have set them 25 minutes worth of TTRS time as home learning. This can be done as a block, or it can be spread across the week, so that the children do 5 minutes a day. I have been really pleased to give out lots of Dojo points to people who have been completing their time! I recommended some apps and websites to help with Maths as the Year 4s have a Multiplication Tables Check to do in June: One Minute Maths by White Rose Maths Ten Minute Tables by Dorling Kindersley URBrainy.comMTC for a practise version of the check. White Rose Maths Parent booklets which you can reach through the Maths page of our school website or here: https://whiteroseeducation.com/parent-pupil-resources/maths/free-downloads Spellings will be out on Monday for the test on Friday. The Wider Curriculum home learning sheet for this half term will be out on Monday and on Dojo, look out for this please. Parents evenings are available for you to discuss your child's progress and targets on Monday 26th February and Tuesday 27th February, both running from 3.40- 6.30 on both evenings. The sign up sheets for these are on the classroom door, if you can't get in to fill this in, please send me a message via Dojo and I will let you know availability. Have a great weekend, see you on Monday. Mr F Happy Half term! What a week, story writing, perimeter and measure and disco moves!
