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.

Successes– Well done to Nikodem, Marques, Evie, Lucas, Nisa, James, Aarav, Holly and Sh’zane who all got merits this week.
An enormous thank you and well done to Leen, Emiliana, Lucy and Ryan who organised Wear It Wild this week. It was an amazing success. Although we do not have a final figure yet, it looks as though Howard School has raised around £500! Well done!
We also need to give a special thank you to all the parents who donated cakes or time or found the time to provide a costume for their child. Without you, none of it would happen.
