Week 2 in Year 4

 

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope you are all well and enjoying the glorious weather we’re having at the moment.

Since returning from the Easter break, the children have settled back into their learning with enthusiasm. We have, however, been working through a few minor friendship and communication challenges during playtimes. These situations are a normal part of growing up, and it's important to remember that children often need guidance and support to learn how to navigate social situations and build positive relationships.

As a class, we’ve talked about how we can be more thoughtful and respectful towards one another. Together, we agreed on a few key pointers to help us communicate kindly and effectively:

• Avoid making comments about someone else’s body or appearance.

• Don’t give advice or suggestions unless they’ve been asked for (unsolicited advice).

• Always choose kindness.

• Use the THINK method before speaking:

Many of the children responded positively to the THINK approach, and we’ll continue to refer to it regularly to help guide our interactions.

Leavers’ Hoodies – Reminder

If you would like your child to have a leavers' hoodie in time for the year 4 special event, please ensure you place your order as soon as possible. 

    

Home Learning

As next week is a short one, there will be no spellings sent home this Friday.

We have given out printed copies of this week’s home learning today to allow a little more time for completion. There are two tasks for the children to work on:

VE Day Poem

Year 4 will be reciting a poem as part of the VE Day anniversary. Children were given paper copies today, but you can also find an electronic copy here .

Design a Space Mission Patch

Children have been given printed sheets with instructions, but an electronic version is also available here. You can find more inspiration on the Science Museum website here. 

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

Kind  regards,

The Year 4 Team
