Year 3/4 Homework - GPS Paper

Dear Parents

Please can your child complete the GPS paper and hand it in by Wednesday 5th February?
We would ask you to help your child practise their times tables ready for their assessment week which begins on Monday. As you are aware, times tables are the foundations to our maths curriculum. Also we ask that the children continue to read daily and record this in their reading record.

We have had a very exciting week at school, full of fun activities. Ask your child what they have been learning!

Wishing you a lovely weekend.

Chinese Experience

By Joseph Fletcher and Isabelle West

China Day

On Thursday 23rd January 2020, the year 3/4 children had a Chinese celebration day. We all had to wear red because red is a lucky colour in China.

In the morning, Moonstone class were painting the animal year that they were born in. After about an hour, Moonstone class switched to Opal class and did some cooking. We made egg fried rice and noodles and chicken and so did all the other classes. We all had to make two dishes of it each. Meanwhile, Garnet class were doing there animal year that they were born in with Mrs Hurley. Opal class were making paper dragons out of lolly sticks and tissue paper. After all year 3/4 children had break.

When break finished, we rotated again. After the rotation, all classes went to the class that they hadn’t been in yet. Moonstone went into Garnet, Garnet to Opal and Opal to Moonstone. After, the year 3/4 children went to lunch. After lunch some of the year 3/4 children went to finish their chinese paper dragons in Garnet class. During the afternoon, all of the classes went into the hall to try the food that they made earlier in Opal class with Mr Greenfield. We didn’t eat it all so Mrs Hurley left the leftovers on the playground table for the grownups to try. 

What an exciting day we all had!

Welcome back to another action packed term at Down Hall. We trust you enjoyed the festive season and that the children are fully rested and ready to take on some more exciting learning opportunities.

MATHS HOMEWORK
Your child will have come home with some math's homework set at their level. It is important that should your child not understand the homework that they come and see their teacher on Monday. We are only too happy to explain!

CHINA
Chinese New Year is on 25th January and as part of our project work on China we will be celebrating in school. Children will be cooking Chinese food and making Chinese decorations. Further details will be sent out via a letter next week. If you feel like you could contribute to our topic, feel free to speak to your child's class teacher. In particular we are looking for anyone who has links to a Chinese culture group.

Have a fantastic weekend!
