In English, we wrote our independent stories, today. Try writing your own adventure story including all the features we have learned about in the last few weeks, e.g. expanded noun phrases, fronted adverbials followed by commas, conjunctions and speech punctuation. Remember to write in paragraphs too!

Your spellings this week are  -tion words: pollution, injection, condition, vibration, donation, situation, information, construction, inspection, calendar, caught.

If you do the easier spellings, these are un- and -dis words: unable, unclear, untie, unpack, disown, disobey, dislike, disagree, fruit, often.

French

We had French today. We recapped on the colours and learned about the weather. Try creating an account on Duolingo. Link here: French

 

PE on Friday

As the children have been invited to come in wearing their own clothes tomorrow and the class have a PE lesson, I would advise sending your child in wearing trainers ready for PE or bring their trainers in a bag.

Thank you.

School Photos

Hello everyone.

Just a reminder that the children will be having their photos taken, tomorrow. Please send your child in wearing their school uniform with their P.E. kit in a bag.

Boys and girls will change for P.E. separately with adult supervision.

Thank you

Mrs Smout

For those isolating at home, here is what we got up to today…

Maths

Fractions. We divided numbers by 10 to find tenths and by 100 to find hundredths. We talked about moving numbers to the right once in the place value chart: Th H T O when dividing by 10 and twice to the right when dividing by 100. Here is the Busy Ants sheet we did. Choose the challenge which is right for you. Finding tenths and Hundredths

English

We read the story of ‘Four Feet, Two Sandals’. You can hear it being read here: Story

We discussed the events/issues that Lina had to face in the story and how she might feel. Try this activity: Task

Science

I introduced the new topic of ‘States of Matter’. We discussed the 3 types: Solids, Liquids & Gases. We looked at lots of examples and sorted them into the 3 groups, e.g. ice lolly, paper, oxygen, rock, helium, lemonade, sponge, cream, etc We discussed that some of these can change states. We then looked at the particle arrangements. This video clip might help you understand:  clip

We also did our reading skills work and practised our times tables.

Remember to read today, too.

Hello!

Dear all Year 4 Parents,

I’d like to introduce myself, officially, as your child’s new Teacher. It feels a little strange introducing myself at this point in the school year but very exciting, all the same. I am quickly learning all about the children’s interests and where they are academically. They are a truly lovely bunch.

I will be teaching every Monday – Thursday and Ms Knowler will be teaching on a Friday.

We continue to do P.E. on Mondays and Fridays. I will also endeavour to include a Forest School session, once or twice a half-term, on a Wednesday, as I know they love doing this. I will inform you of these sessions via text. Spellings will be sent home on a Friday and tested the following week.

My email address is Amanda.Smout@ppce.co.uk Please do get in touch if you need to.

Library visit tomorrow!

We are taking an exciting little trip to visit Pontesbury Library tomorrow morning; an early start to our World Book Day celebrations!  Please ensure your child has a waterproof coat with them and are wearing shoes they will be happy to walk there and back in.

Home learning 28.02.22

Hello! to those isolating at home. Here is the work we did today.

Maths

Our Maths unit this week is on fractions. Today, we looked at how to work out what the fractions were on the fraction lines by counting the intervals between the whole numbers. Have a go at Challenge 1 and move onto 2 if you feel confident. Maths 28.02

English

Monday lesson ppt

We started a new book today. Please have a look at the part reveal of the front cover on the first slide – What do you think the book will be about? What do you think the title will be? Then go through the powerpoint to find out what the front cover truly looks like and answer the questions. Here is the word document you need for the matching activity – Look at the words in blue first – do you know any of them? Then try and find the correct definition. You could check your ideas in a dictionary or discuss with an adult.

In the afternoon, we did PE and Art. You could try sketching the font cover (without the words) or even make a collage of it.

Please remember to read your reading book.

Here is the Topmarks link for practising your times tables. Topmarks

Staffing in year 4 and year 1

Dear year 4 and year 1 parents and carers

Due to personal reasons, Mrs Gwyther will be absent from school from today and for the foreseeable future.

I am very aware that over the last few months the year 4 children have had a number of supply teachers covering Mrs Gwyther’s absence. To ensure that, from today, the year 4 children have the least amount of disruption possible as we move foward, Mrs Smout has kindly agreed to teach our wonderful year 4 class, Monday to Thursday, for as long as necessary.

I will inform you of who will be teaching the year 4 class on Fridays as soon as possible.

As Mrs Smout has moved to year 4, Ms Vincent has kindly agreed to teach the Y1 children full time from today.

As usual, if there are any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Mr Langford
