Year 3/4 Blogpost 10.03.23

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 equivalent fractions. In English, the children have continued writing their playscripts. They have worked really hard on redrafting and editing them so a big well done to you all!

Times Tables Rock Star Day

On Thursday 9th March the whole school took part in a TTRS day. We dressed up as rock stars and took part in math's activities throughout the day. During our assembly we learnt all about the importance of learning our times tables and how using Times Table Rock Stars can help us. We had a live battle between 2 of our school’s quickest children and even Mrs Hurley and Mr Greenfield got involved. It was amazing to see how fast some children are – but the main message was the importance of accuracy.

We had lots of fun playing TTRS and challenging other classes to battles! The children love doing this!

We all had a great fun filled day learning our times tables in a variety of ways. Congratulations to our winners and to everybody for taking part.

If you are unsure about your child’s TTRS login details, please ask your child’s class teacher for more information.

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 complete your challenge.
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!
