Year 4 parents in Red – Residential information

Dear Parents and Carers of Year 4,

We are looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday (tomorrow) at 5.30pm (apologies over any confusion with the timings). You can bring your Year 4 child (and siblings if childcare is an issue). You will be provided with information on the planned activities and a kit list. We will be available to answer any questions that you or your child may have.

The children will be informed about their sleeping arrangements and groups tomorrow prior to the meeting and we know this will cause great excitement.

Kind regards

Mrs Derrer, Mrs Harper-Jones and Mrs Colin-Stokes

Red class spellings for 13.03.23

This week’s words are using the prefixes super- and auto-

Group 1: superstar, superman, automatic, autopilot

Group 2: superstar, superman, supermarket, automatic, autopilot, autobiography

Group 3: superstar, superman, supermarket,  superficial, automatic, autopilot, autobiography, autograph

You could watch this clip on auto-  words. There are a couple of really hard ones in this clip but most are words you might know!

This has some ideas about the prefix super-. The video clip has some tricky words to look at but it will show you how to use the prefix.

Poetry Competition

I know lots of children are busy selecting their poem for the poetry competition; its always enjoyable hearing the range of poetry and poets that the children choose. I thought you may enjoy looking at the  Poetry By Heart website and watch some children aged 7-10 performing poems. This site suggests poems to perform and you may be inspired by some of the performances!

Remember your teachers will be shortlisting the best ten from each class on 20th March. Everyone is expected to take part, and your teachers can help you select a poem if you are struggling to find one.

Swimming

Hi Red Class,

We are looking forward to seeing you all back tomorrow. As it is swimming, children can come to school in either PE kit or school uniform – whichever is easiest for your child to change back into after swimming.
Many thanks

Mrs Harper-Jones and Mrs Derrer
