Homework 26.4.24

Here are the details of the homework for this week. It’s less than normal as the Y4s are going to the Oakes. We will go over it on Monday 6 May.

Reading every night.

No grammar this week.

Y3 maths: Please spend at least 25 minutes during the week on ‘garage’ in Times Table Rock Stars. Little and often is best. There is another soundcheck to do this week and this will be an ongoing homework task. I have also set some homework on MyMaths to consolidate the work which we are doing in class. If you don’t have time to do both, then please focus on Times Table Rock Stars.

Y3 and Y4 spellings: please complete 100 points worth of activities in your spelling journal (there is a list of activities at the start of the journal). If the words are unfamiliar to your child, don’t worry: we will be going over meanings as well as learning to spell the words every day.

The spellings are: expression, possession, confession, progression, discussion, impression, admission, permission, transmission, submission

Smoothie bikes

We had a wonderful time on Friday blending smoothies using pedal power! We then drank the delicious healthy smoothies.

Cardboard boxes

For our work on sculpture, we need lots of cardboard boxes! If you have any cardboard boxes of any size or shape, but particularly larger ones, can you please ask your child to bring them to the classroom on Monday or Tuesday? Thank you so much!

Good Shepherd appeal

We raised over £40 for the Good Shepherd appeal! Thank you for all your kind contributions. The winner of the unicorn will be announced after Easter.

Fundraising for the Good Shepherd appeal

As part of our fundraising for the Good Shepherd appeal, we are going to be playing a ‘guess the name of the unicorn’ game. The prize, kindly donated by one of our teachers, is a very large soft toy unicorn! If your child would like to take part, please send them with 50p tomorrow or Thursday. We will be taking a list of names around the classes.

Cricket

We had a day with a cricket coach in school yesterday and all classes had a session. We learned some great skills as well as focusing on those all-important qualities of teamwork and sportsmanship. Here are a few photos.

Easter bonnet parade

Some photos of some of the fantastic Easter bonnets from our class. There were lots of amazing creations, and I didn’t get photos of them all, but well done to all!
