Guided Reading

We hope you are all having a fantastic holiday!

In the New Year, we will be exploring stories set in imaginary worlds and will be reading and completing activities based on the story Charlie and the chocolate factory during our guided reading sessions.  If any of the children have a copy of the story (book or electronic version) they are more than welcome to bring it in.  Please ensure it is named so the copies don’t get mixed up.

If children would like to do any further reading based on stories set in imaginary worlds, please see the book list below.

Happy reading 🙂

Helpers!

Year four will be going down the church tomorrow afternoon at 1.20 to watch the year 5 Christmas performance. If any parents are able to join us, please let your class teacher know.

We also have our Christmas party on Friday and would love if any parents/carers could help set out the food for our lunch during the morning.  Again, let your class teacher know if you are able to spare an hour or two!

Many thanks

Year 4 Weekly Update for week beginning 11/12/17

The children have loved having a go at some sewing this week and have been working hard making their own toy and showing some great perseverance-threading a needle isn’t as easy as it looks! Here’s what’s coming up this week:-

Numeracy: We will be working on Christmas themed problem solving.

The children have been christmas data collecting this week-please see their graphs in their Google Drive folders. If they wish to, they can carry out more surveys at home this weekend and present in a graph-instructions in Google Drive. or click on the link https://docs.google.com/document/d/14Dpfzl-51hSmaTILBZR11z4N4TVCdVTQwNfPnWPvPCY/edit?usp=sharing

DT: We are still very keen to have any willing volunteers to help thread needles and untangle sewing! Please let the class teacher know if you can help at all.  See previous blog for sewing times.

Lower Junior Christmas party: Is on Friday (see previous blog post).

Year 5 Christmas Service: We will be watching the Year 5 Christmas service in the church on Thursday 14th December at 1.30.  If there are any parents who would be willing to walk to and from the church with us, we would be very grateful!  Please let your class teacher know.

End of term: Please can we remind you that school finishes at 1pm on Tuesday 19th December. The children will not need a packed lunch that day but can bring extra snacks for playtime. The children can also wear a christmas jumper that day for a donation of 50p which will go to LEPRA.

We hope have a lovely weekend and thank you for your continued support.

Weekly note 4.12.17

Year 4 Weekly Update for week beginning 4/12/17

The children enjoyed a fantastic Tudor day on Monday!  We hope you enjoyed the entertainment and refreshments in the afternoon.  Many thanks to all our helpers for the day, without you it wouldn’t have been possible.  Here’s what’s coming this week:-

Numeracy: We will continuing to work on times tables and then moving onto data handling.

Literacy: We will be writing our own historical setting descriptions.

DT: Welcome to year 4 ‘The Apprentice!’  Please see our homework link for information.  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aj_ED27Qainp3SXidEDooGGPz4nUAjyZQXPjQD_obTI/edit?usp=sharing

If you have any unwanted teddy bears, please bring them in as we will be deconstructing toys and looking at how they are put together and made.  This is an important part of the DT process.  It would be an idea to pre-warn the children that this will be happening!

We are very keen to have any willing volunteers to help thread needles and untangle sewing over the next few weeks! Please let the class teacher know if you can help at all.  We are planning to do these lessons on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons.

Random act of kindness class advent calendar:  Each day a child in the class opens an advent envelope which contains a random act of kindness for all the children to have a go at.  These will continue over the weekend.  We hope you enjoy the activities suggested.  This weekend the children have been asked to:

Write a Christmas card to an elderly person (you could bring them in and we could send them to Le Platon) and donate a toy to the Christmas Fayre.

PTA Christmas fayre:  This will take place on Thursday 7th December, children can be collected from their classrooms at 2.15 to have a look around.  They must be accompanied by an adult.  Why not bring in donations, bake a cake or bring something for the bottle stall!

Enjoy your weekend!

Many thanks.
