Welcome to 2u !- Summner Term
Dear Parents/ Carers and Children,
May I begin by saying I hope you all had a lovely easter and break and did not eat too much choclate ( I know I did! ). This term promises to be just as succesfull as the last term and we have some exciting topics and events to look forward to in our last term together.
Topic
- Our topic this term is Show Time
In the topic we will be learning the following;
· History: History of the Theatre
· RE: Jospeh .
· PSHE: The role of animals in the circus
Art: Designing a new dreamcoat for Joesph
. DT ; Creating a puppet theatre
· Music : Show Tunes.
Home Learning
- Home Learning will be based around our topic for this term, Showtime There will be a different piece set for each half term; additionally the children will receive math?s bags once every three to four weeks. Also the children will have weekly times table and divison facts to learn. Dates for these will be specified when the Homework is given out. However I will advise that to complete the homework the best and most enjoyable way is to do some little and often. If you do have any difficulties then please let me know and I will try to help. Copies of the home learning task , as well as additional resources can be found on the VLE.
Science
- This half term we will firstly be looking at Earth, Sun and Moon
UMPC
:. Once again can you please make sure that your UMPC is FULLY charged at the start of each school day.
VLE:
Pleas visit our class page on the VLE, where you will find lots of information about our class, as well as accessing a range of learning resources and games .
Reading
- The children need to read as regularly as possible at home to build upon the skills they have learnt already, however I would ask that at the least the children should read at home at least three times each week, and then have their reading record signed by an adult to say that this has been done. Children must make sure they have their book in each and every day as there will be opportunities to hear children read. The reading books the children bring home help practice their reading skills and build confidence. Their reading is then challenged and developed during weekly guided reading sessions.
Spellings
- Spellings will usually be send out spellings every Friday ready for a test the following Friday. Don't forget to use the 'Look, cover, write, check' method to help you learn them. The children will write their spellings in their book on a Monday, however a copy can also be found on the class page on the VLE.
PE:
.
PE kits must be in school on a Monday morning and remain in school until Friday. This avoids the children not having kit in school and therefore being unable to join in. There will also be additional gym lessons on a Tuesday, for which the children will need their indoor P.E kit.
Residentia
l: This term year 4 will be going on a residential trip to Conway. This will take place on the 10th May for three days . During the trip the children will be partaking in lots of exciting activities based around a special theme.
Helpers ;
If
anyone has any spare time or would like to come in and help
with displays, hear readers, work on spellings and any other classroom jobs, then please pop in and we can make arrangements, any help big or small is really appreciated and we would love to have you involved.
If you do ever need to speak to me about any issue, please feel free to make an arrangement to come in and see me. As mornings can be very difficult as the children are coming in and it is often very busy so we can not have a proper chat.
Anything else, then just ask and I'll do my best to help!
I look forward to a very successful term.
Kind regards,
Miss Sumner
