Year 3/4 Blogpost 24.02.23

Dear Parents,
We hope you all had a lovely holiday and are looking forward to lots of lovely learning at Down Hall this half term.
Please remember that Parent Teacher Conferences take place MONDAY 27th FEBRUARY and WEDNESDAY 1st March. Therefore,TTRS Club will NOT take place on Monday.
Thanks to those parents who have booked appointments.

TTRS Day
This year, at Down Hall Primary School, we have had a big focus on Times Tables through our Times Table Programme as well as Times Table Rock Stars. These have both helped the children to become more fluent in their times tables. 
On Thursday 9th March, we would like all staff and pupils to take the opportunity to dress up as rock stars for the day. During this day they will take part in a range of maths activities. It would be great to see as many children and staff engage in the TTRS Battle as possible. Prizes for the best dressed rock star (staff and child) will be handed out. Certificates will also be given to the children who achieve the fastest ‘Studio Speed’ in (according to the leaderboard that morning) There is no cost for dressing up. More details will follow…

WORLD BOOK DAY
This year, World Book Day is on Thursday 2nd March. To promote reading within our school community, for this day the children can bring in a favourite book from home which they can share with the other children in their class.
They can also bring in prop which serves as a clue to their favourite book/character or come dressed up as a favourite character too if they so wish. On this day all the children will also receive a £1 World Book Day voucher!

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 complete your challenge..
