PE day and expectations
Year 4 PE will be on Wednesday mornings. Please ensure they are in correct kit each week.
Home learning expectations
Homework is due by the following Wednesday each week.
Their folder will contain a double sided grammar activity and a double sided maths activity. They are not expected to complete both sides unless they want to. The side with the blue star is harder than the red star. I am happy for them to choose what level they are confident with.
They will have a new spelling list which we will test again the following Friday. This will also be made available on their SpellingShed accounts. Here they can play interactive and engaging games based on their current list.
Some students will have some Read, Write Inc work set by their phonics teacher too.
Finally, reading for pleasure is also encouraged. This can be anything they enjoy which is appropriate to their reading level. We really recommend Seacombe Library as a place to start!
Trips throughout the year
As part of our enrichment and entitlement initiative, we are due to visit Thor's Rock in Thurstaton as part of our raiders and settler's topic as well as the pantomime and Chester Zoo in January!
We will also watch the matinee performance of 'Bugsy' by St Mary's in February.
