 Dear Parents,

A huge welcome to you if you are joining us here in Year 3/4 and a big hello if you were with us last year! The children have had a very busy week and have all settled in well to their new classes. It is so great to see the children smiling when they are coming into school each day. 

Our weekly blog is the best way to receive communication from us. We will also use the Class Dojo from time to time when needed. If you have not received your child's log in please ask their teacher.

ROUTINES

• Messages to staff on the gate in the morning.

• Please ensure that children come on to the school grounds on their own.

• Please send in a note or email the office if collection arrangements are different to normal.

• Please call the office if collection arrangements change during the day.

• Please label all clothing including their tie.

• Ring the office if your child is off sick – must be clear for 48hrs before returning to school. 

• Please notify the office of any changes to mobile numbers or email addresses.

• Our PE day will be on Tuesdays.

• Snacks - Please provide fruit or vegetables for your child’s snack in a named, reusable container.

• Homework is set every Friday and will need to be handed in by the following Wednesday.

• Please ensure that you are signing your child's reading record and spelling notebook regularly. 

Next week, your child will bring home their homework books and homework from these will begin.

This week, please read with your child and record this in their reading records.

Accelerated Reader Your child has come home with an Accelerated Reader book so please read these regularly. Your child will then complete a quiz on this book in school and when your child achieves 3 x 100% in a row they can move up a level. Children are tested every half term through our Star Reader tests and their levels have been picked using these. Children will be able to swap their book when they have completed a quiz.

• Reading: Remember 15-20 minutes reading to an adult every day is essential for your child's progress. Please also encourage your child to read by themselves and then discuss the text afterwards, sharing opinions, their favourite part or questioning what happened so as to ensure that your child is understanding the text as well as reading it. Please record any comments in their reading records as these will be checked regularly.
• Spelling words - please practise these at home by revising them from your spelling and times table notebook and by writing them down. This will come home next week.
• Times table practice - next week we are looking at 2’s. Please practise these at home by revising them. A book with our week's tables will come home next week.

• TTRS/Sumdog - lots of practice on these amazing programmes that complement what we learn at school. Please see your reading records for log in details.
• School Councillor - if you would like to be considered for this role, please prepare a presentation for you to share with your class next week.

Remember, you can either type out any extra homework on a Google document and share it with your teacher or hand write neatly onto paper and bring it into school.
Please ask for help if you are unsure!

Have a fabulous weekend,
Miss Harvey and Mrs. Devlin
