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.
The children have had a great first week and have settled back into school well. This week our learning will be as follows;
- In mathematics we will continue our work on place value. We will be focussing on rounding and estimating.
- In English we will continue our work around the Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Rauf. We will be working on developing a piece of persuasive writing around a positive school culture which we will then record as an infomercial.
- In science we will investigate the question what is sound?
- In RHE we will look at the life and death of Queen Elizabeth II,
- Our blocked foundation subject is music. This term we have an exciting opportunity to work with the English National Opera. We will be working on composing a piece of music.
This half term Millennium Class will go swimming every Tuesday morning. They will need to bring to school as swimming costume and towels. They may also bring a swimming hat and/or goggles.
Don’t forget our harvest festival is on Tuesday 13th September. Food contributions can be brought in on Monday and Tuesday mornings.
