Date: 28th Sep 2023 @ 9:49am

Hello Woodpeckers!

We hope you had a great weekend.

Our Learning Behaviour for week beginning 02.10 will be  'Push yourself'.  

Our Value this half term is Thankfulness.

Our words to listen out for next week are 'region' -a large area of land, usually
without exact limits or borders'  and 'extensive'-covering a large area.

Reminders

Monday: You all have PE Monday morning, so please come to school in your PE kits. Also, many of you will be going swimming in the afternoon.

Friday: Homework to be handed in. 

Homework

Log on to Curriculum Visions (the username and password is in your planner) and click on the speaker for pages 22-23  of Changing Sounds. The speaker will read to the text to you.  Remember -you count this as one of your reads.  Can you make a musical instrument? Look at the diagram with the elastic band and think about how we used elastic bands in school. Your instrument needs to beable to change pitch. If you can think of a different way to make an instrument -fantastic! Take a photo or draw a diagram in your book or bring it into school. It's your choice how you choose to show us what you have done. This learning will help you with your science assessment this week on sound.

You will also now find the logins for Times Table Rock Stars and Spelling Shed in your planners. Please do log in to these websites to practise your spellings and times tables.

Reading Giants

Please read at least 5 times and note them in your Planners. Remember, this can be reading your school reading book, reading your own books, reading a magazine/comic, listening to a story read by a grown-up, listening to a story on a device (such as a Tonie box), watching a story online/on TV (eg CBeebies Bedtime story). We are promoting a love of reading, so read what you enjoy - just remember to write it in your Planner and ask your grown-up to sign it each week. Mrs Shand will check the planners each Friday and will give you a sticker on our Reading Giants chart if you have had at least 5 reading sessions!

Times Tables

A battle has been set! Log in to Times Table Rock Stars and we now have a weekly tournament between Year 3s and year 4s. This will run each week until the Christmas holidays and the more you play the more points you will win for your year group!

Spellings

From this week, your spellings will be from Spelling Shed, so please log in to this website to find activities and games to help you learn your spellings.

 Any questions, we're always on the playground at the end of the day- please speak to us.

Mrs Jordan and Miss Cross
