Year 4

Year 4 Spring Terms 3 and 4 2012
 
Dear Parents,

We hope you had a good break and are looking forward to an exciting year.  Please use the Curriculum link to see the main learning areas this term and below are some reminders for you.
Homework:
Children should be completing Literacy, Topic or Maths homework weekly.  Homework will usually be given on a Friday and returned by a Thursday.  Usually there will be an explanation sheet stuck into your child’s homework book.  It would be so useful if we could have a parental comment so we know how your child got on with their homework.  Please could you sign your child’s homework diary at the end of each week.  Do comment in the diary about any aspect of the week, not just about homework.  
 
In Year 4 children need to read for at least 10 minutes every school night.  They need to complete a record of their reading each time they read. We would very much appreciate you listening to/discussing your child’s reading at least twice a week and on these occasions for you to sign your child’s book.
In addition, children are required to practise times table to aid rapid recall.  Every week there will be an informal check as part of the maths lesson.  Children may like to practise their maths skills by logging onto The Zone website where they’ll find maths games to play that coincide with the learning that they’re doing at school.
 
P.E
Livingstone Class: Tuesdays and Wednesdays
Scott Class: Tuesdays and Wednesdays
 
Please ensure that your children have the appropriate clothing and footwear in school for these lessons – white t-shirt, navy/black shorts/ track suit bottoms for winter wear and daps/trainers.

Thank you
 
The Year 4 Team,
Mike Sach and Laura Ritchie
