Year 3/4 Blog Friday 8th October 2021

Dear Parents,

We hope you have all had a lovely week. Year 3/4 children have been super busy learning all about addition and subtraction and discovering the importance of Black History Month through poetry. In science we have studied fossils and how they are formed.

Parent/Teacher Consultations

You are now able to book an appointment to meet with your child's class teacher on Friday 22nd October, 8:30am to 3:30pm.  Please use the Scopay app to secure your slot.  We will, once again, be using Zoom.  A meeting link will be sent to you nearer the time. 

Phase Emails

Please remember, that if you wish to contact your child's class teacher, you can use the phase email.  The address to use for the Year 3/4 teachers is: year 3_4@downhallprimary.com

Your emails will be responded to as soon as possible by a member of staff. This may not be until the following working day (or Monday, if sent after 4pm on Fridays.)

If you wish to inform a teacher of your child's absence, an appointment or a change in drop-off/collection arrangements, please contact the school office rather than the phase emails, as these are not checked regularly during teaching hours.

Finally, please remain courteous and polite to our staff when emailing. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated and will be forwarded to Mrs Nelson.

Harvest Festival

Next week we will be starting our harvest festival collection for the children and families in our own community who might need a helping hand.  There will be a collection box at the gate from next week and any contributions will be greatly appreciated.  Here is the link to our Harvest Festival to get you in the mood!  Harvest Festival Samba
