Year 4 Weekly Update for week beginning 5.3.18

We hope you have all had fun in the snow this week and enjoyed a few extra days holiday!  Thank you for all the lovely snow work shared on Google Drive.

Parent’s Evening appointments:  You should have received an email to book an appointment with your child’s class teacher.  If you would like any help with this, please contact the School Office or your child’s class teacher.

E-safety:  Safe and Secure Online  Come along to a free presentation of Safe and Secure Online on Wednesday 7th March at 7pm in the school hall, presented by Matthew Parker, an Information Security professional. Safe and Secure Online is a global initiative to help educate parents and carers of some of the risks our children face whilst online.  Matthew will present for about an hour including the following topics:

  •         The risks of Online Gaming
  •         Social Networks
  •         Sexting and mobile phones
  •         Cyberbullying
  •         General Cyber Security

Please note that due to some of the content the session is not suitable for children to attend it is solely aimed at adults.

Literacy:  We will begin our unit on Science Fiction stories, looking at a short story called ‘The Black Box’.  In Guided Reading we are also reading ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes.

Numeracy:  We will be continuing with our work on division and will be carrying out a termly assessment.

Home Sharing Day:  St. Martins will be having a special home sharing day on Friday 9th March.  Children will be sharing a ‘Work Selfie’ from the week with you on which they will upload to their Google Drive account.  They should be able to log on to their account themselves and show you!

Have a lovely weekend!
