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

Home Learning for 10.03.23

Good morning Red class,

Well, it is another snowy day and I hope you are able to enjoy getting out in it. If you get a chance/ wish to do some school work, there are some ideas here.

flashback-friday - Norfolk Public Library

It is our ‘Flashback Friday’ where we know more and remember more, so you could get someone to test you the spellings from last week. I have put the new ones on the spelling page with a couple of video clips to look at. This week’s words start with the prefixes super- and auto-. Have a go at finding out what the words mean and putting them into a sentence.

Tables – please continue to revise these. We are really impressed with the way you are learning these. Use Times Tables Rock Stars or the other programmes which work for you.

Year 3: x3, x4, x8

Year 4: x3, x4, x6, x8.

English – next week we are writing a diary in RE. You could try to write a diary entry about your snow days.

Writing a Snow Diary

Start your diary like this
Dear Diary,
Yesterday was _____________________________!

Or start with

This morning, we__________________________

Diary Checklist – Work through this step by step
-What did you see?
-What did you do next?
-How did it feel?
-What did you do in the snow?
-What was the best part of you Snow Day?

Use these past tense verbs to help you:

ran walked rolled squashed pulled dug
shaped shivered wrapped patted
jumped shouted called squished scraped
pushed placed stuck

Here is an arithmetic is you wish to have a go at one.

Y3-Arithmetic-Full-Test-1

Y4-Arithmetic-Full-Test-1

In RE we are looking at the Easter story. You can watch this clip all about Palm Sunday.

See you next week!

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

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.

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.
