Year 3/4 Blogpost Friday 7th October

Dear Parents,
We hope you have all had a lovely week.
In English this week we have started to write our Roman narrative adventure story. In maths, we have begun looking at our new unit, Addition and Subtraction. It would be helpful if the children knew their number bonds to 10/100.

Please see the link below for how to help your child.

Please remember that with the onset of colder weather, all children need a warm and waterproof coat at all times.

A Message from Mr. Greenfield

Good afternoon parents,

I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I will be absent from school for a period of time due to an operation on my knee. As a result, for Parent's Evening the meetings will be taking place over Zoom which has been included in the Parent's Evening letter. During my absence, the children will be taught by Miss Bartlett. I wish the children the best of luck and I look forward to seeing them when I return.

Mr. Greenfield

Harvest Collection

This year we will continue to support Rochford Extended Services with our Harvest collection.  Donations will be boxed up and distributed by them to the children and families that need them most within our own local community. 

 

As a Gold Level Rights Respecting School, we do our best to advocate for Children’s Rights and for sustainability.  Articles 24 and 27 state that:

“Every child has the right to the best possible health and a good standard of living”

If you can send in any non-perishable items before Wednesday 19th October that would be fabulous and you can find a full list of suggested items here.  In school we will celebrate Harvest during the week of 17th October with some learning in class and by singing our favourite Harvest song in assembly.  Please enjoy having a go at the Harvest Samba here and thanks for any contributions you feel able to make.

Homework pages for this week have been uploaded to Google Classroom. It has been great to see so many children submitting their homework. Please check that your child has highlighted and written down the CORRECT pages. It is also really helpful if they can hand homework in by Wednesday each week, in order for teachers to mark it in time to return it to them on Fridays.

• Reading: Remember 15-20 minutes at least 3 times a week 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 from time to time. Please make sure you bring your book back when you are finished and your teacher can change it for you. As soon as you are ready you can take a quiz at school. Remember that you need 3x 100% scores to move up a level.
• High Frequency Words - Learn the words in your Reading Records. Practice spelling them out loud and writing them down.
• Times table practice - this week we are looking at 3's/4's. Please practice these as we do in school.

Can Do

• Continue logging on to TTRS, Sumdog - your logins are stuck in the front cover of your Reading Records.
• Harvest Festival - This year we will continue to support Rochford Extended Services with our Harvest collection. Donations will be boxed up and distributed by them to the children and families that need them most within our own local community. Please can you bring an item into school before Wednesday 19th October? Thanks so much for your support.
