This week and next week plus home learning

 

Hello everyone,

We have had an out of this world week in year 4 so far and the week isn't even finished!

On Monday, we had a very successful morning at Weymouth Pavilion where the children had the opportunity to see where they will be performing in February. It is fair to say that we are all very excited!

Rehearsals of Macbeth have started in earnest and your child should have brought home their own script. Should their's not have made it home please follow the link in home learning section below, or ask a member of the year 4 team for a paper copy. 

Today (Thursday), the children got the chance to experience the space dome (a mini portable planetarium) which was erected in the school hall. The children's awe and wonder for space was certainly reignited in the space dome, with many children remembering their year 1 space learning. 

Tomorrow (Friday), the children will have a singing session from Hannah Trevorrow in preparation for the year 4 signing concert which will be held at Thomas Hardye school in March. 

We will also be saying goodbye to a much loved member of a class, who is emigrating to Australia. To give her a send off, Mr MacBean will be honing his DJ skills for a year 4 disco in the hall at the end of the day. We will all miss this pupil but wish her the very best on her new adventures. 

Home Learning.

For this week's home learning we are asking the children to LEARN THEIR LINES. In addition to this they are encouraged to practice their spellings, times tables and to do some daily reading. 

If you (or an older sibling) are able to help your child learn their lines this would be incredibly beneficial. It is hoped that the children will not need their scripts from the week beginning 24th January.   

The link to the script can be found in this home learning reminder.
