Year 4 assembly, spellings and dates

 

Hello everyone,

I hope you and your children had a good first week back to school and that you are happy with the middle school that your child has been accepted into for September. 

We have a busy few weeks ahead. On Thursday morning we have the year 4 parent and carer information session. It would be great to see you there to discuss what is happening this term. We do not have any parent and teacher consultation sessions planned this term, although if you would like to meet to discuss any aspect of your child's learning or the transition to middle school please get in touch. 

Year 4 assembly and home learning

Next week, year 4 will be doing their class assembly at 2.30pm on Friday afternoon.

The children's home learning is to learn their assembly lines, their spellings and as ever to practice their times tables. As I will discuss on Thursday's parent information session, the multiplication tables check will be happening in June for all year 4 children. Practicing tables will be helpful for this test, but having a secure knowledge of tables helps your child in all aspects of their maths learning. 

Children that have been given a character role in the assembly have some simple costume items to bring in (crucially not school uniform so they stand out more). These children have been asked to bring in a dress or trousers, depending on their role and a few other small items. If you have any concerns about their costumes, please ask a member of the year 4 team. All children have been sent home with an assembly script although if yours didn't make it home and electronic copy can be found here. 

This week's spellings:

Avant Garde:

Logan: As there are some homophones in the list please check that you r child understands the context of when to use each homophone.

Thursday 25th April - Parent information session 9 - 9.30am

Summer term - welcome back

 

Hello everyone, 

Welcome back. We hope you and your families had a good break and are ready for summer term in year 4. 

On Tuesday, you will find out what middle school your child will be going to. I believe the emails are due to be sent out at 9.30am whilst your child is at school. Hopefully your child gets their first choice but if they don't or there are any other concerns please get in touch with a member of the team. Once places are confirmed, transition activities with the middle schools will be communicated. 

Children will have a PE lesson on Monday afternoon and so please can ALL children bring in their PE kits on Monday morning. Children will be expected to wear PE kits at middle school so this is a good habit to get into. Please let us know if your child has had a growth spurt and you are understandably reluctant to buy new uniform. There are some second hand uniform items that may be suitable.  

Please can you make sure your child's jumper, cardigan and water bottles are fully labelled. This seems to be the term that children are most likely to lose these items as the weather warms up and they are more likely to discard them outside. 

More details about what is coming up will be shared during the year 4 parent information session on Thursday 25th April. 

Upcoming Dates:

Monday 15th April - All children return to school.

Tuesday 16th April - Middle school places announced 

Wednesday 17th April - SCARF life education session (please see email for details) 

Friday 19th April - Springfest

Thursday 25th April - Parent information session 9 - 9.30am

Friday 26th April - Year 4 Samba drums lessons start (weekly for 10 weeks)

Friday 26th April - Year 4 Class assembly (2.30pm)  

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

Kind regards,

The year 4 team
