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.
Week beginning 13th November 2017.
In Maths this week, we are beginning to use written methods to subtract from a 4 digit number. We will continue to use the concrete, pictorial and abstract models to ensure deeper understanding and fluency,
In English, we will be continuing our legends unit based around the legend of Robin Hood. The children in year 4 are very much enjoying using the Marcia William’s book-The Adventures of Robin Hood to explore this legend and will be beginning to plan and write our our Robin Hood adventures this week.
