Year 3/4 Blogpost 19.01.24

Dear Parents,
We hope you had a wonderful week. It flew by! The children are continuing to work really hard on their multiplication and division lessons in maths. It is great to see all their hard work in learning their times tables now paying off. In English, we are writing our own Chinese creation myth based on Pan Gu. Ask your child to retell the story to you.

We find ourselves in very exciting times as a number of new things are being introduced to our school. Our re-vamped newsletter this week sees the inclusions of photos of what each class has been doing during the week.

As you may have noticed, we are taking part in Cross Country in PE. Next week, if your child would like to bring in a second pair of (old) trainers to change into, specifically for Cross Country then please feel free to send them in.  🏃

Lots going on in the next few weeks!

Year 3/4  Homework Tasks - Due Thursday 25th January
Must Do
  • Reading: Remember 15-20 minutes everyday is super important. The children will have taken their Reading record home for parents to comment in. 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.
  • Spelling Frame
    This week the children will be set tests based on spelling rules. The rules that they will be focusing on can be found on Spelling Frame. Your child has their login details glued into their Reading diaries. This week we would like the children to focus on: 
    Spelling Rule 3 - The /ʌ/ sound spelt ou (e.g. couple, touch... etc.)

  • 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 - next week we are learning our 3 times tables including division facts. Please practice these on TTRS.

Can Do

  • Continue logging on to TTRS and Sumdog - your logins are stuck in the front cover of your Reading Records.
  • Maths - 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
  • This activity exactly mirrors the 'Multiplication Tables Check' that will be given to children at the end of Year 4. They are tested on their multiplication tables up to 12 x 12. There are twenty-five questions and children have six seconds to answer each question and three seconds between questions. The questions are generated randomly using the same rules as the 'Multiplication Tables Check'.
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Hurley, Mr Greenfield & Miss Harvey 💚
