Hi Everyone,

At the start of May, I sent all parents in my class an email to their personal email accounts from the Y4 email address (newdale.year4team@taw.org.uk). If you did not receive one, that would have been due to me not having your email address (as it wasn’t on record in the school office); however, I did send those parents a message on Purple Mash to get back to me (thank you to those who did).

If you haven’t replied via email, it would be great to hear from you all and have an update on how your Y4 child is getting on. Mrs H and I are really missing not being in school and with our Y4 class!

Thank you to the parents who have already been in contact.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Miss Macfarlane and Mrs H

Apologies, but for some reason parents did not receive the email containing this week’s English work. Please click on the link in this post.

Just a quick reminder to parents about Oxford Owl’s FREE online reading service.

https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page

This service is amazing as it contains a variety of books aimed at your child’s reading level.

As part of your child’s home learning, please encourage them to read as regularly as they can.

Many thanks

The Y4 Team

This week, we’d like your child to complete this English activity booklet, which contains spelling, literacy and reading tasks. The writing tasks allow children to apply the Y4 SPaG features which we have looked at over the last few weeks e.g. fronted adverbials, inverted commas etc.

As always, there will also be tasks set on Purple Mash as well as maths and spelling work set by Mr Jackson.

Hi Year 4

As we come to the end of another week, I wanted to say a big congratulations for the effort you are all putting into your home learning. I’d like to say a special well done to –

Dylan for putting a huge effort into your home learning and extra work too.

Chelsea for some very creative baking and hard work on your home learning.

Harrison showing some great maths work and well designed VE Day bunting.

William for hard work with your home learning, learning new skills and some very creative design work.

Niamh for learning new skills at home, both Chess and Piano.

A big well done again to everyone for working so hard and a big thank you to everybody who is helping you at home.

Have a great weekend,

Mr Jackson

This term, Y4 would have been learning about animals including humans as part of their Science unit.

We’d like children to create a piece of work, which demonstrates their knowledge of this unit. Children can choose how they’d like to present this information e.g. a poem, piece of artwork, a video report etc and upload it onto the Y4 homework blog.

Here is some information to help them: Y4 Science Animals including Humans

To help your child with their understanding of inverted commas this week, why not encourage them to dance to this Supermovers video:
