Week beginning 3rd March

We've had brilliant week back last week, in which Monday the children were welcomed into Victorian school!

This week is our residential to Hooke Court. If your child is going on the residential they will need to arrive at school as normal on Wednesday (5th March) in their own clothes and take their bags to the hall. They will then go to Victoria class to be registered and remain their whilst we sort out final arrangements. Please remember to send your child with a disposable lunch. Please only send a reading book or some colouring for your child to do on the coach - do not send any toys or fidget toys.

If your child is not going on the residential they will go to Malawi class on Wednesday and spend the rest of the week with Mrs Povey doing lots of Victorian related activities and celebrating World Book Day on Thursday!

If you were unable to join us for the Hooke Court Parent information meeting, an attached copy of the powerpoint is at the bottom of this page. All the information you need is in here regarding what the children need to bring. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask one of the Year 4 team.

Homework:

My Maths will be set each week and the task is due every Thursday. 

Reading:

Remember to read at home as much as possible! If children read three times at home, they get a raffle ticket.

Reading Raffle – Please encourage your child to record in their yellow reading record when they have read at home. 

3 reads a week = 1 raffle ticket 

5 or more reads a week = 2 raffle tickets 

Library Day is on a Wednesday for both classes. 

Your child regularly reads with an adult, both individually and during whole-class reading lessons. In Year 4, children are encouraged to take responsibility for changing their own reading books as needed.

Please note that we do not always write in your child's reading record. This is because we keep our own detailed record in school, and avoiding duplication allows us to spend more time directly supporting the pupils.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support in fostering a love for reading. If you have any questions regarding reading, then please speak to a member of the Year 4 team.

At the end of every other term, two names from each class will be drawn in Worship and those children will make a special trip ( with a book) to our local Costa to enjoy a babyccino!
