Class 4 Homework

Dear Parents/Carers,

In English we have been looking at different types of clauses within sentences, including relative and embedded clauses.

We expect that all children complete some homework each week. Children can complete the activity independently or with your support and choose which questions they would like to do.

If any children feel that they would like an extra challenge, they should speak to an adult in Class 4, and we will happily send additional homework out.

Please ensure homework is returned by Monday so that it can be marked and new homework stuck in before it is due to be sent out again.

We thank you for your support with this.

Kind regards,

Mrs Chadwick and Mrs Foster

Class 4 update

English

In English we have been working on the ‘Just So’ stories by Rudyard Kipling. Today we began planning ideas for our own Just So stories ready for writing them next week.

Maths

The children have been learning about decimal numbers and how to order them, place them correctly on number lines and understand the effect of multiplying or dividing them by 10 and 100.

Geography

Following our walk around Bicton last week we focussed on map skills this lesson. The children worked really hard to produce maps of the school grounds using aerial photographs.

Linked to this, in Art the children have been collaging pictures of things that they see on their journey to school using a variety of materials.

Science

Continuing with their work on electricity, the children made their own circuits this week and learnt how to draw circuit diagrams. They also had to test a variety of circuits to see if they worked or not and make predictions about what might happen each time.

Maths Games!

Some of the children in Class 4 have been using their knowledge of place-value of decimal numbers and multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 today to come up with their own Maths game. They worked really hard and came up with some fantastic ideas. They then showed other children in the class how to play them.

Class 4 Homework

Dear Parents/Carers,

Over the past few weeks we have been looking at classic fiction in English. We have read extracts from The Jungle Book and some of the Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling.

We are sending out homework tonight on the subject of classic fiction that is set according to children’s end of year expectations. We expect that all children complete some homework each week. Children can read the text independently or with your support and then choose which questions they would like to do.

If any children feel that they would like an extra challenge, they should speak to an adult in Class 4, and we will happily send additional homework out.

Homework this year will be sent home in a homework book on a Wednesday and should be returned to school by the following Monday. This is so that it can be marked and new homework stuck in before it is due to be sent out again.

We thank you for your support with this.

Kind regards,

Mrs Chadwick and Mrs Foster

Spellings to be tested on Friday 23rd September

Dear Parents / Carers,

Below is the spelling lists for this week. They should also be glued inside the children’s yellow spelling books. These books need to be in school each Friday for the spelling test and for new spellings to be stuck in please. Groups are subject to change as I work out which groups everyone should be in, but do feel free to let me know if you feel after a couple of weeks that the spellings for your child seem too easy or too difficult.

Many thanks,

Mrs S Foster

Open the Book 15.09.16

On Thursday, Revd. Mary-Lou Toop and the Open the Book volunteers visited school for their first assembly of the year. We listened to the story of Jesus in the Temple and some of our new Reception children did a fantastic job in role as the crowd in the temple.

Oswestry School’s Primary Maths Challenge 2016

A huge well done to the Year 5 and 6 children who took part in the Primary Maths Challenge at Oswestry School on Wednesday afternoon. They had some pretty tricky problems to solve and Mrs Roberts was very impressed with their perseverance and, most importantly, independence. The team came 4th out of the 9 schools competing and were only 5 points behind the 3rd-placed team.

Dear Parents/Carers,

This week we have been looking at number and place value in Maths.

We are sending out homework tonight on this subject that is set according to children’s end of year expectations. We expect that all children complete some homework each week. Children can choose which questions they would like to do, independently or with your support, that will consolidate the work that we have been doing in class.

If any children feel that they would like an extra challenge, they should speak to an adult in Class 4, and we will happily send additional homework out.

We thank you for your support with this.

Kind regards,

Mrs Chadwick and Mrs Foster
