Road Safety Years 3 and 4

On Wednesday we had a visit from Ian at Kent Road Safety, who came in to remind us about how important it is to keep ourselves safe when crossing the roads. We talked about how we really need to be extra vigilant nowadays as many of the cars are electric and silent! We also found out that pelican crossings are all going to be changed to puffin crossings here in our region. Always find a safe place to cross, stop, look, listen and hold an adults hand when crossing. Even better

Relationships that shape us!

Today in our whole school assembly, we explored the special relationships that make our time in school so positive and meaningful. We talked about the friends who make us laugh, the teachers who support and guide us, and all the people who are there for us no matter what. Together, we created a huge collage filled with names and drawings of our special people, celebrating the connections that remind us that we are loved and valued every day.

Glendale Reading

During this first term, we have been back to reading with our reading buddies at Glendale. Some of the residents are very generous with their time on a Thursday afternoon and listen to our pupils read. The children enjoy reading and discussing their books and are always very well behaved. Thank you Glendale buddies.

French:

The children will be learning about Greetings and numbers as well as learning about the cultural knowledge and celebrations.

Homework:

There will be a homework grid given out at the start of each term, with a variety of activities to choose from. There is no fixed deadline for these; once your child has completed an activity, they can bring it in to show me. Spellings will be completed at school so please do not expect weekly spellings to be sent home.

Reading is important and should be completed each day. Please can you make sure that an adult writes in your child’s yellow book to show that they have been reading at home.

The children must learn their timetables in year 4 and be fluent with reciting them back because there is a Multiplication Tables Check towards the end of year 4 (I will provide more information later on). Have fun with learning them (songs, games, in the car)!

I hope this gives you further insight into your child’s education. If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Miss Giles
