Home learning and upcoming dates

 


Hello everyone,

I hope you are all doing well and that your child is feeling settled and happy in year 4. Myself and the team are very happy with how they are doing so far. 

It is now officially Autumn and as we start 'welcoming' cooler days please can I remind you to make sure your child has a labelled coat everyday. We will launch our Food, Faith and Farming fortnight in a few weeks and have some lovely Autumn related activities to look forward to. 

We head off on our residential trip a week on Wednesday and you may be starting to put items aside now. Here is an electronic copy of the packing list but if you need a paper copy please ask a member of the team.    

Homelearning
The deadline for Home learning is generally Tuesdays when the children will be given their new piece of work. 
The previous home learning can be found here
This week's home learning (which the children will bring home on Tuesday) can be found here.  

Spellings
Most of the children will not have come home with spellings to learn yet. We have been assessing the common spellings that are helpful to know by year 4 and the children will then have their own personalised spelling lists. These will be ongoing spellings to learn and in addition tho these the children will have weekly or fortnightly RWI spellings to learn once RWI sessions start (hopefully later this week). 

Dressing Up
We have a number of dressing up opportunities coming up at POW and in Year 4. To help you get prepared I have listed those likely to happen before Christmas below. We don't expect or want you to spend lots of money on these, items that you already have with tweaks are very welcome. Please feel free to ask a member of the team if you need help with costumes. 

Upcoming opportunities for children to dress up include 
-  dress up as a WW2 evacuee  on Friday 11th October - link here for costume ideas
- dress up as a farmer on Friday 18th October 
- Children in need on Friday 15th November
