Hello Woodpeckers,

Tuesday - PE kits to be worn. Please ensure you wear the correct PE kit - look on the website if you're unsure. (PE will be with Ben who is our coach)

Wednesday -Music workshop at Ipswich School

Thursday - Harvest at church, parents welcome to arrive from 2.40pm for a 2.45 start. Children to be collected from Church. Please let school know if your child is afterschool club. 

Friday 
 
Uniform
Please makesure children are wearing correct uniform; including socks and it is labelled.
 
Daily belongings needed in school: water bottle, planners, book bag, coat and a smile!
 
Homework
 
Reading Giants - Read at least 5 times each week and record it in the planner. Please note - the planner needs to be in school on Friday as past reads will not be recorded on our chart (except holidays).
 
Times Tables - Log on to TT Rock Stars, Ms jordan has set up a competition. Log in details are in the front of your planners.
 
Writing - In your homework book, write 1 simple sentence and 3 compound sentences.  A compound sentence is 2 simple sentences joined together with a co-ordinating conjunction: and, but, so.  Here is an example of a compound sentence - The man rubbed his stomach and he licked his lips.  The man rubbed his stomach is a simple sentence. He licked his lips is a simple sentence. They both make sense and can be joined together with 'and'.  Use the Sad emotion sheet to join 2 simple sentences together to make a compound sentence. If  your adult would like to know more about  the sentences we are learning in school and have for home learning, please check out the writing video on the Curriculum tab-How parents can support the curriculum.
 
Spelling - Spelling sheet is stuck in your homework book.   Miss Cross has also given you your common exception words. They have been marked with a tick if they were spelt correctly, blank if incorrect.. If they are not ticked  please work on these at home, a few at a time and there will be another test after half term. Please don't panic and think these all have to be completed at once. Children need to be able to confidently spell these by the end of Year 4.
 
If you would like to do extra homework, please log on to Curriculum Visions and find out more about the Stone Age and Rocks.
 
Have a good week!
 
Miss Cross and Mrs Jordan
