Year 3/4 Blogpost Friday 11th March 2022

Dear Parents/Carers,
Wow! Another exciting week here at Down Hall. The Year 3/4 children are continuing to learn  about fractions in Maths. We have been looking closely at fractions of amounts. In English, the children have now finished writing their performance poem. They have worked really hard on redrafting and editing their poems so a big well done to you all!

EGGSHELLS

If you are able, please can you save any egg shells for our Science investigation. We would appreciate it if you could rinse them first and send them in in a small bag.

Thanks so much!

PTA FUNDRAISING FOR COMIC RELIEF

Noses will be on sale in school during the week commencing 14th March for £1.50. They will be sold during school hours in the same way that the Poppy Appeal items are.  

Thank you.

FUNDRAISING FOR UKRAINE

As a staff we are very aware of the continuing terrible situation and humanitarian crisis that is unfolding in Ukraine. Below is a link to last week's newsletter which contains information and helpful websites that support discussing this issue with your child should you wish to do so or if they are asking questions.

We will be meeting as a staff next week to plan for a fundraising event in support of the DEC campaign to help the people of Ukraine. We were mindful, however, that this event did not get muddled in with an already planned charity event in support of Red Nose Day. We will send details of this separate fundraising event in due course.

Must Do

• Reading: Remember 15-20 minutes everyday is super important. You will have taken your Reading Record home for your parents to comment on. These will be collected by teachers and checked regularly. Please bring your homework books back to school when you are finished so that we can check them. Thank you.
• Please make sure that your child is continuing to read and work on the Year 3 and 4 spellings which can be found in their reading record books. 
• 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 Sumdog

Can Do

• Continue logging on to TTRS, Sumdog and Myon or Big Cat - 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
• Red Nose Day - Design your very own red nose. You can bring it back into school when you are done!

As always, we are available on our email. However, we are also available if you have any quick questions at the end of the day on the playground. Just give us a wave and we will pop over!
