Key Information:
- A wide selection of quality books have been purchased for this class this year and your child is encouraged to take home a book every day. Each time you sign to show your child has read at home, they will receive a marble towards their team jar. The team with the most marbles at the end of the week will be crown team of the week!
- Homework will be set on Friday and due in the following Friday unless stated otherwise on the homework (A longer time will be set for projects)
- Spellings will be learnt at school and tested on Mondays. Please click on link: school-links-spellingjournalyear4southwark-1
- In your child’s homework diary, they will have a green stamp at the end of each day to show they are following our school’s ‘Good to be Green’ behaviour policy. If they do not get a green stamp it is because they have not ended the day on a green card or have received a red card during the day. You will be notified by text if a red card consequence has occurred.
Hi Year Four!
We are now into our second week, hopefully you are starting to find a routine and you are all keeping well. Thank you to those of you who have sent us videos and work to share on Class Dojo. We love seeing all the amazing things you are doing!
If you have not had a chance to check it out already, please have a look at Class Dojo and send us a message. Please join us on this forum as you and your child can email us, send and receive photos, videos and see daily tasks in one place. We have sent all parents an email inviting you to join but this is a learning curve as we have not used the programme before so please let us know via teacher to parent if you have not received the invite and we will endeavour to contact you in a different way.
As always, continue to read, using Get Epic or your own books or books you have borrowed from school. We have added tasks to Mathletics and would love to hear about your experiences with Real PE and TT Rockstars.
New tasks for today’s home learning:
Maths-Have a go at lesson 3 of week 2-Hundredths as decimals on Whiterose homelearning.

English- Today we are going to use a poem about a dragon to help us practise using expanded noun phrases and prepositions. If you can’t remember what these are, check out this website to remind you;

Read the poem The Dragon Who Ate Our School
Did you manage to find the rhythm of the poem as you read it aloud?
Can you spot any features of a narrative poem in it? Features of a narrative poem Which did you spot?
Now can you add a verse or two about what the dragon ate using expanded noun phrases and prepositions. Remember to share these with us!
Can you learn any of the poem off by heart, maybe perform it to your family or record it to share with us.
Or look at the picture of a dragon (or draw your own) and try writing your own descriptive poem about it.
