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.

English-Writing–We will be writing and improving our recounts of our amazing Ranger Russ visit. Photos to follow.
Topic-We will be learning continuing our topic Rain forests, learning about products which are made in the rain forest biomes such as chocolate and coffee and explaining how they make their way from the forest to our supermarkets.
R.E-We will be continuing our work on Christianity and beginning to look at Easter.
P.E-Hopefully this week we will be finishing our unit on gymnastic sequences.
Computing-We will continue to develop our presentation skills using Powerpoint to present our finding about Rain forest tribes.
PSHE-This term we will be looking at ways we can keep ourselves safe and healthy. There will be a focus on on-line safety and what you can do to keep the risks to yourself and others low. We will also be continuing our Apple’s Friends work focusing on being assertive.
