Last week of Autumn term in year 4

 

Hello everyone,

I can't believe it is the last week of the Autumn term next week. The children have worked really hard this term and should be very proud of all that they have achieved so far. 

This week, in addition to their other learning, the children have done a fantastic job of learning their lines and preparing for no-one wraps like an elf. Thank you to everyone that brought in their child'd costume in last week. Please can all costumes come in on Monday please as we are doing a full dress rehearsal before the performances on Tuesday and Thursday. 

Next week,  there are some changes to the timetable as we have a number of additional activities happening. 

The last spelling test will take place on Monday morning and no new spellings will be sent home until next year. If you are keen for your child to continue to practice spellings then your child can go on Ed shed and practice their personal spelling lists (which I will update following Monday's spelling tests) and also an assignment which will run until July called 'Spellings to learn this year'. 

There will be no specific home learning tasks, other than reading this week. Please could you ensure that reading sessions are added to reading journals. We will not be collecting journals next week but I would like every child to have at least 1 journal entry when we return in January please.  

Monday

Friday

AM -  Year 3 and 4 end of term surprise. We will meet you at the library from 8.45am. Children should bring their school bags, snacks and packed lunches. We will be in the library before our special treat and then will walk back to school. 

LUNCH -  families are encouraged to send a special Christmas Packed Lunch (wrapped up like a Christmas Parcel) for their child to enjoy in their classrooms (see recent email for more details). 

PM - Christmas party time and a special guest. 

As ever, if you have any questions, comments or concerns please get in touch. 

Kind regards,

Ms Browne, Mrs Hall, Mr MacBean and Mrs Thomas. xx
