What a great time was had by all in Lihou. We would just like to say how well behaved the children were and their enthusiasm and enjoyment made it a delight to take them. We hope they slept well afterwards.

Here’s what’s coming up this week:

Literacy: Finishing off our persuasive leaflets and editing and improving them.

Numeracy: Having a last push at this term’s Rainbow Targets.

DT: Children will be planning their interactive nursery rhyme storyboards.

Science: We will be finishing our expedition work for our Habitats topic.

Sports Day: We will be having the Lower Junior Sports Day on Friday 7th July (13:00-15:00). Please could you make sure children come into school in their sports kit, in the correct house colour and bring a hat, sunscreen and water bottle. Feel free to come along to support the children!

Transition: Throughout the week, children will be participating in transition sessions and will be meeting their class teacher on Friday 7th July.

Have a good weekend!

Year 4 Weekly Update for week beginning 26.06.17

 

We have had another busy week at school with lots of outdoor numeracy! The children really enjoyed calculating the age of different trees and using sticks to create rectangles, to work out the area and perimeter!  Here’s what’s happening next week:-

Lihou:  We are off to Lihou!  

Mrs Karia’s class – Monday 26th at 1.30 and return 2.30 on Tuesday 27th (Prosperity car park).

Miss Dyke’s – Tuesday 27th at 2.00 and return at 3.00 (Prosperity car park)

Mrs Dowding’s class – Wednesday 28th 3.30pm (Prosperity car park) and return Thursday 29th 4.30pm (Prosperity car park).

Just a gentle reminder, if you still haven’t paid for Lihou please can you pass on that payment to your child’s class teacher as soon as possible.

Numeracy: Looking at co-ordinates on a Lihou grid map.

Literacy: We will be finishing off our persuasive leaflets on the 3 R’s.

Science: We will be carrying on with our habitats topic.  

Art: We will be creating our own ‘Goldsworthy’ inspired artwork and doing some printing from these designs.

Homework: There will be no official homework set this week so please encourage children to carry on with practising their Rainbow Targets, Mathletics and reading.

Please bring any remaining Sponsored Swim forms in as soon as possible and don’t forget that sponsored swim takes place on Tuesday (Mrs Dowding’s class) and Friday (Mrs Karia’s class).

The countdown to Lihou begins! Start getting your belongings together and watch the weather forecast!
