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.

Thank you for allowing us to get to know your children and understanding that, due to our limited space and lessons starting at 8.50, we cannot allow parents and carers to enter the huts before or after school. Please leave your children at the end of the ramp and any urgent messages, such as a different person picking your child up or illness, need to be delivered via the office or a written note. Queries about homework can be written in the homework diary which is checked daily by an adult.
We understand that you are interested to see your child’s new learning environment and so have included pictures below:
Our learning this week:
Maths-We will be working on place value of up to four digit numbers, representing them pictorially, in words and numerals.
English-We will be using video stimuli to explore a character’s feelings about starting school. This will link to our PSHE focus.
Science-We will begin our unit on electricity, exploring what electricity can do.
Topic- We will begin our unit on Anglo-Saxons and Vikings by finding out what life was like in Britain 50, 100, 500 and 1,000 years ago.
PE-For the present PE will take place on Monday and Tuesday. Children will be learning invasion games and gymfit circuits this term.
