Year 4 Battle of the Bands

 

Parents and children, get ready to rock! We are launching a Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) Battle of the Bands competition for Year 4 over the final five weeks of term.

This weekly battle runs from Friday after school until Monday morning before school. Every child's play contributes to their class's average score.

The winning class each week will earn an exciting prize: extra time outside! Please encourage your child to log in over the weekend; even short, focused sessions make a huge difference. Let's work together to boost fluency and finish the term with a win!

This will start from Tomorrow!

May the best class win!

Year 4 Wild Passport Day

 

 

Wild Passport Day Reminder

Year 4 will have their Wild Passport Day on the following dates;

 29th September - Willow Class

30th September - Elm Class

1st October - Maple Class

On their WILD Passport day, children must have:

• Long trousers

• A change of shoes

• A warm coat

We strongly recommend that this clothing remains in school to avoid having to remember session days.

In wet weather, children will need waterproof trousers and a waterproof jacket. In cold weather, please ensure children also have an extra jumper, extra socks, and hats and gloves.

WILD Passport sessions take place in all weather. As we say in Forest School,

“There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.”

Sessions will continue in all weathers, with timings, activities or location adjusted where necessary to ensure children’s comfort and safety.

Year 3- What we are learning

 

What a fantastic first full week back for Year 3! After the summer holidays, the children have been getting used to being back at school and beginning to adjust to the routines and expectations of Year 3. In Maths, we have been learning about place value to 100, using tens and ones, place value charts and part-whole models to help us understand how numbers are made. In Literacy, we have been taking steady steps towards Year 3 writing goals, exploring expanded noun phrases, fronted adverbials and action verbs to make our sentences more interesting and detailed.

In PSHE, we have been learning about risks and how to keep ourselves and others safe by identifying dangers, considering risks and thinking about ways to reduce them. Alongside our learning, we have been re-establishing our daily routines and discussing the importance of coming to school each day, being ready to learn and making positive choices. We have also talked about how change is a natural part of growing up and that new experiences can help us become more confident and independent.

We are very proud of how the children are beginning to find their feet and look forward to supporting them as they continue to grow, learn and develop throughout Year 3. Thank you, as always, for your continued support at home.

Year 4 Subject Blog - Computing

This half term, we are learning how to be safe, kind, and smart online.

Our learning connects closely with our 4 Rs. Through Resourcefulness, children learn to create strong passwords and spot altered photos. Practising Reciprocity, we focus on building positive online communities and using kind words. We show Reflectiveness by thinking about our digital footprint and how our choices affect others. Finally, children build Resilience by learning how to handle mean behaviour online using the S-T-O-P rule.

"I loved learning how to create super strong passwords to keep my information safe!" - Connie, Elm

"Learning how to use the S-T-O-P rule helped me know what to do if someone is unkind online." - Freya, Maple

"Spotting altered photos was so cool! Now I know that not everything you see online is real." - Jason, Willow
