Year 3/4 Blogpost Thursday 20th October

Dear Parents,

We made it! Thanks for all so much for your support. May we take this opportunity to wish you and your children a happy and restful half term. It has been an absolute pleasure to teach all of your amazing children and I know that I speak for all of us when I say we could not be more proud of them all.

CHRISTMAS CARDS

Your child has bought their artwork home. Please read the accompanying letter and follow the instructions. The artwork must come back to school on the first day back after the holidays  please.

SCHOOL COUNCILLORS

This week children have voted for their

School Councillors. Those who wanted

to be considered needed to give a

speech to their class who then voted on

who they wanted to represent them. Well done

to everyone who stood for election as it takes

determination and bravery to write and deliver a

speech. Democracy is important at Down Hall and

the following children were elected as their class

School Councilors:

Garnet - Mason

Moonstone - Lexi

Opal - Jessica

BOOK FAIR COMPETITION AND

RAFFLE

During the book fair any child

purchasing a book will be given a raffle

ticket which will go into a draw. After the fair on

Thursday the lucky winning ticket will be drawn

and the winner will receive a £5.00 voucher which

can be used at the book fair on the Friday.

Also, your child will come home with a competition

to re-imagine the book cover of their favourite

book. Entries need to be completed and returned

to school by 7th November to be judged on the

8th. There are four categories: EYFS, KS1, Year

3/4 and Year 5/6. The winner from each

category will win a £5.00 voucher to spend at the

fair.

Good luck!

DESIGN TECHNOLOGY

As part of our topic on Roman Britain, we will be making gladius (swords). Please can we ask you to start collecting cardboard to enable us to make these after the half term. 

Thanks for you support.

• 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 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.
• Please click on the link to complete the recycling challenge set by Miss Langley. Complete some tasks at home if you wish. Miss Langley will be awarding recycling stickers certificates for children who have tried hard to recycle or completed any challenges. Recycling-Challenge-2022.pdf (schoolofkindness.org)
