Year 4

Hello Year 4. 

I hope you've all had a good first week at home.  I have set up a blog on Purple Mash so that you can message me and tell me what you have been up to during your time off school.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Leader in Me

On a daily basis, the children try to demonstrate our core values within school. As we aim to practise them so often, they become good habits that we can use not only in school but also at home too. 

• Habit 1: Be Proactive (You’re in Charge)
• Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind (Have a Plan)
• Habit 3: Put First Things First (Work First, Then Play)
• Habit 4: Think Win-Win (Everyone Can Win)
• Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood(Listen Before You Talk)
• Habit 6: Synergise (Together Is Better)
• Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw (Balance Feels Best)

Growth Mindset

This year we will be helping the children to develop a Growth Mindset. This aims to increase their resilience, perseverance and independence in their learning. Further information can be found by following the link below.

Homework

Homework is given out on a Thursday to be returned by the following Wednesday. It will consist of a piece of English or Maths work which will consolidate your learning from the week.

Spellings are in the back of your homework book and will be tested on every Thursday. A copy of this terms spellings is also on the school website. 

Keep practising your times tables. You need to be able to recall multiplication and division facts up to 12 x 12.

Children also have their own individual log ons which enable them to access TT Rock Stars, Purple Mash and Education City.  These websites all offer a wealth of games and activities to support the children's learning. 

Remember to read regularly and record this in your reading record. If you read at least 5 times every week and your record has been signed by an adult for each entry you will be awarded a house point. Reading records are checked every Monday.

My Style homework is also given out each term
