Home
Learning
As part of the children’s home learning in 3/4,
we ask that the children read as often as they can across the week. All of
the children have now picked a new reading book and have received a brand new
reading record. This is where they can evidence all of the amazing reading
they are doing at home. Please continue to encourage your child to read on a
regular basis and fill in the reading record. We ask that your child hands
their record in on a Monday so we can reward them for each day they have read.
If a child reads every day they will be rewarded with 5 house points for
their new house team. We will also be
giving spellings out every Monday that will be written in their reading
records.

News
We have had an amazing and
exciting start to the new year in year 3/4 and we are extremely proud of all of
the children for their sensible and mature attitudes towards their learning. We are very excited for the year ahead! We
have been blown away by the amount of holiday home learning we have received so
far. The children have worked super hard to research an aspect of Victorian
life which they have presented in many different ways such as: pictures, ICT
presentations, fact files, time lines and lots more! There is still time for
your child to bring in some home learning around our new topic Victorians that
we can display in our classroom.
We would like to welcome Miss
Snowden, Mrs Comstive and Mrs Brooks to the happy 3/4 team. The children have
been introduced to the new behaviour system in school and have all been given a
house colour. This will be explained in
more detail at the Parent Meeting
which will be held on Monday 10th
September at 2:40 – 3:10 in your
child’s class. We encourage you all to
attend this as a time to learn more about your class teacher, the routines and
our expectations for the year ahead.
Some children were given a
cardboard folder with a keyword mat and an exercise book to practice over the
Summer. If your child had one of these packs, please can you ensure it comes
back in every Monday morning to be marked by the class teacher. We will be
sending some of these packs out to more children over the coming weeks with a
letter. Thank you for your support.
PE
PE is a vital part of the
curriculum, therefore every child needs to bring in their PE kit either on the
day or it can be left in their locker for the half term. At times the children will be using different
apparatus and need to be dressed in safe and appropriate clothing. 3/4T and 3/4S will have PE every Tuesday
afternoon and 3/4M on a Thursday morning. If your child does not have their PE
kit they will not be able to take part in the fun and exciting activities
planned for their own safety.
Literacy
During Literacy this half term, your
child will be looking at the features Non-Chronological Report and writing one
all about the Victorians. The children will continue to extend their super
ideas into compound and complex sentences using a variety of connectives such
as: so, if, but, because, when. The children will also be grouping these super
sentences into rainbow paragraphs using lots of engaging features to interest the
reader.
Numeracy
This half term your child will be
looking and Counting, Numbers and the Number System. Your child will learn to
develop their independence around choosing appropriate strategies for solving
mental maths questions, as well as develop their confidence in their times
tables. Each week we will give you
information about how you can support your child at home. Please use the school website: Learning Zone,
Numeracy and support your child playing the Number games.
Have a lovely weekend,
Team 3/4
