Dear parents, during the closure I will be communicating to you and the children through text and Class Dojo. I will be continuing to post daily tasks, activities, videos, links and any other updates.

The Class Dojo site has now been accessed by all the class, I will be providing a Maths, Literacy and Reading task each day. The children need to complete these tasks and send me photos of their finished work so we can mark and go through them the next day.

There will be a modelled input video put on the site for each task and support throughout the day via the messaging service on the Dojo site is provided in school times.

I will also continue to post daily videos of readings from our class novel and other books. 

There are lots of links to other educational websites that offer the children access to topic work and foundation activities to keep them busy. 

 This web page has all the information you need. Please ensure your child continues to use Class Dojo everyday as that is the main site that will be providing daily learning tasks. This is a learning platform, therefore please ensure all comments posted are appropriate.

These are uncertain times but together we can overcome any barrier in our way. We all need to keep learning, keep physically active and stay safe.

Our Y4H weekly Routine

P.E

Children will require their P.E. kits every Thursday and Friday. They should leave it in school until the half term holiday. This will ensure that they don’t regularly forget their P.E. kit. The children will need either pumps or trainers as the children will participate in outdoor and indoor activities throughout the term. If your child doesn’t have the correct footwear, they may not be able to participate in certain activities, which would have a negative impact on their physical development.

Spellings

Children will be given a spelling list every Thursday, please ensure your child practices these as they will be tested on these spellings the following Thursday. To support them further, encourage children to form sentences with the words given.

Learning logs

Children will be given learning log challenges each term which is linked to the work they have been covering throughout the topic. This needs to be handed in on specific dates, please take this opportunity to work with your child and tackle the challenges with a creative, imaginative mind that celebrates you child's ideas. Please take a look at our homework grid below.

Books

Reading books will be changed every Thursday. Please ensure that books are signed and reading diaries are in school each Thursday. It is important that your child reads every evening. This could be done independently or with the help of an adult or older sibling.

TTRS

The children have been given logins for Times Tables Rock Stars. They can access the app at home on a laptop or ipad and even get the opportunity to play against the teachers some evenings. Please encourage your child to access the website at home as this will give them much needed practice of the Times Tables they are unsure of.

They will also be making their own freeze frames to predict what will happen in the story and for their assessment they will be writing their own story based on the text.

 The children will be mainly covering the grammar objectives for year 4 to extend their learning.  Please see our objectives below.
