Dear Parents,

We hope you are enjoying our class pages in the newsletter! It is lovely to share pictures and work with you all.

Spelling Frame Week 10 

This week we would like the children to focus on: Spelling Rule 10 - Endings which sound like /sh/ and /zh/ (e.g. erosion, pension... etc.)

Your child has their login details glued into their reading diaries.

Turn on the Subtitles!

Turning on quality subtitles means your child will read a staggering number of words. Put them on and your child will read the equivalent number of words that are in all the Harry Potter books, all of the Lord of the Rings, all of the Chronicles of Narnia and everything Roald Dahl wrote, combined!

Research has shown that it can double the chance of your child leaving school as a proficient reader. You can turn them on for the whole family or most streaming services will now allow you to do it just for children’s profiles.

Perhaps, after all, there is a magic button…

Comic Relief

A reminder that this year we have set up a justgiving page as an additional way to donate to our Comic Relief collection so if you prefer, please use the link below to do so.  As always, thank you for your continued support in our teaching and learning about Children's Rights.

• Accelerated Reader - when you are finished your book your teacher can change it for you. As soon as you are ready you can take a quiz at school. Remember that you need 3 100% scores to move up a level

• Times table practice - Please log on to TTRS and complete your challenges.

Can Do

• Continue logging on to TTRSS and Sumdog-  your logins are stuck in the front cover of your Reading Records.

• Math's - Year 4 will be completing their statutory Multiplication Tables Check in June this year. To this end, please can you ensure your child is regularly accessing and practicing these at: https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/477/Multiplication-Tables-Check
