Y 3/4 Blog - First Week Done! 👍

 Dear Parents

Wow! What a fabulous week it has been in Year 3/4! Such an amazing first day back and really lovely to see all the happy, smiley children who we have missed so dearly. We hope that your children are feeling settled and are coming home and telling you all of things that they have been up to at school. They are all genuinely a real credit to you.

This week, we have been reviewing Time in Maths. We have found that the children are not secure in telling the time and also understanding the differences between analogue and digital time. Please could you spend some time teaching your child how to tell the time? This is a skill that requires a lot of repetition. 

We had fun doing a Maths quiz outside and we have also been looking at flashbacks and time travel in our English lessons. We took part in some drama sessions which were lots of fun and also a very creative way to plan a story. The children have responded so well to this concept and we are looking forward to writing our own narrative flashbacks next week.

Moonstone class welcome Miss Beard who is a student teacher and will be with us until December. Miss Beard has slotted in nicely into our class and it is as if she has always been here!

HOMEWORK

Homework will be able to be accessed from Google Classroom as of next week. This week we would like the children to produce a poster of what they like about being at school. They can use any medium they wish. Unfiortunately we are not able to accept actual posters into school so please send us a photograph or an email instead. We will print off the best one and it will be displayed on the fence at the school entrance on Down Hall Park Way. Please do not add a surname on the poster for safeguarding reaons. We cannot wait to see what is making your child happy to be back to school! 

Homework due: Friday 18th September.

Please encourage your child to read a minimum of 15 minutes per day at home. Make use of Times Table Rockstars and Sumdog in order to brush up on Maths skills. MyON is a great way to read at home too!

EXTRA HOMEWORK

Why is there an extra day in a leap year? First 3 answers through the door on Monday will net you 2 housepoints each. 👍

As always, we are here to support you and if you have any questions do please drop us an email at year3_4@downhallprimary.com.

Have a fabulous and well deserved weekend!
