Happy Friday!
What a week, job adverts, perimeter and gymnastics on a roll! This week, we have been working on perimeter and length in Maths and our new text The Baker by the Sea English, in Science, we started our new topic of light by looking at sources of light and we started our new Geography unit on Migration. We also looked at our new Book Club text this morning to great excitement. The children made predictions and we will begin to explore the Myths behind the cover next week. We have a new P.E 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 won't have a session with him next Friday, so P.E. kits on Thursday next week please. Next week, we will continue our work on our English text The Baker by the Sea, explore light further in Science and expand our knowledge of Migration in Geography. We will complete our Maths unit on Perimeter and Length and prepare to explore the world of Fractions! 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, sorry due to an IT glitch, I haven't been able to distribute these. Finally, a huge thank you to all of you who could attend Parents Evening this week, i saw most of you and have lined up appointments in the future for those of you who couldn't make it. Have a great weekend, see you on Monday. Mr F Comments are closed.
