Spring Term 1

I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas and are ready to continue in Year Four. This half term we will be working hard on our new topic of the Around the World and our Science unit all about sound. This term we will continue to focus on becoming bucket fillers through being kind, respectful and trying our best.

Please try to encourage your child to read regularly, it is very important. We will be doing a lot of work in school, but your child will need to practice at home. I will be updating the Active learn online reading books regularly and providing hard copies.

Your child also needs to be encouraged to continue practicing their times tables, towards the end of year 4 all pupils will complete the statutory year 4 times tables test. Homework and spellings will be set every Friday and need to be returned to school by the following Thursday. There is also extra optional homework activities on the homework grid, these are all linked to what we are learning in school so please encourage your child to complete as many as possible.

Our PE day is Tuesday, children are to come to school in their PE kits on this day. We will also be going swimming to Accrington Academy every Tuesday so swimming kits also need to be brought in on this day.

If your child is absent from school due to COVID Home Learning Packs are available to collect from the office, Online Home LearningLessons will be uploaded below this will be mainly using the Oak Academy Online Y4 lessons: https://classroom.thenational.academy/subjects-by-year/year-4

Children can access allocated reading books through Bug Club via https://www.activelearnprimary.co.uk/login?c=0

All children also have home access to SORA online library, IDL Maths and IDL English which can be found at https://appuk.idlsgroup.com/#/login

If children do not know their login details or are having difficulty accessing any of the sites, please contact the school office.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any concerns or questions. Thankyou in advance for your cooperation and support.
