This week homework is Practice Makes Perfect.
We’ve been learning how to find graphemes in words. We need a little more practice to make the learning secure.
All information needed to complete the activity is on the sheet that has been given to the children.
Homework is due in on Wednesday 30 November.
A thank you from Mr Redfearn
This is a message to everyone in Year 4 for being so incredible over the past few days when inspectors have been in school. Our SEAL theme this week has been to ‘keep calm or help others to be calm’. The children in Year 4 have definitely helped me to keep calm and should be proud of how mature they have been whilst we have had visitors.
There have also been lots of fun and exciting learning this week with some children even being introduced to lowest common denominators in Maths (an objective for Year 6s!).

Homework this week is creative and is due in on Wednesday 30 November.
I can show all I know about Mount Olympus and the Ancient Greek Gods.
Remember to be as creative as you can.
You could produce some writing, art work, a story, a newspaper report or your own creative idea. Have fun!

We were lucky enough to have a visitor on Friday. Richard Gale (Indi’s dad) is a paramedic and he came in to talk about his job. As you can see we had great fun using bandages, oxygen masks and stethoscopes! It looked like there had been an awful accident at one point but I can assure you that no-one was hurt at all!
Thank you Richard for taking the time to visit us.

This week, your child will be sketching some observational drawings. In keeping with our topic of ‘Our House’, they will have the opportunity to look at doors throughout British History as well as developing some essential skteching techniques along the way. Below, you will find doors from the Anglo-Saxon period right up to the Edwardian period. Later on the week, I will upload some of the children’s drawings to see how they compare alongside the real thing. Why not discuss with your child how the features change through the ages?
