Y4 Parent Email

Purple Mash emails are a great way for children/parents to communicate with us; however, there have been a few requests from parents about emailing teachers directly, without their child having access to the content. To support parents, we have set up a Y4 email address for parents to email if they have any questions about their child/child’s learning.

newdale.year4team@taw.org.uk

Many thanks,

Miss Macfarlane & Mr Jackson

Fun fruit snacks 🍎 , outdoor painting 🎨 and teddy bear hunts 🧸

On Thursday, we enjoyed playing cricket outside in the sunshine. When we got hungry we re-fuelled by making our own fruit caterpillar snacks 🐛. We took them outside to eat in the sunshine and played some more  games. After lunch, we used some old wallpaper to do some Spring painting outside. Then, we went on our very own bear hunt. There were 10 bears for us to find and each bear had an exercise challenge for us to complete. We finished our day by watching an animation of ‘We are going on a Bear Hunt’ on YouTube. Thank you for such a lovely day everyone!

Our new History unit is based on the Anglo-Saxons.

Your challenge is to create a piece of work based on the Anglo-Saxons. You can choose how you present your work. It could be a poster, presentation, poem, story, piece of artwork, model, song etc.

You can watch Horrible Histories videos to help you as well as use online sources, when researching.

We look forward to seeing your photos/work on our homework blog.

Scam Emails

We wanted to make you aware of a scam which effects families who are eligible for free school meals. The following extract has been taken from an official Government website that was updated today –

Be aware of scam emails

We have been informed that some parents have received an email stating the following: ‘As schools will be closing, if you’re entitled to free school meals, please send your bank details and we’ll make sure you’re supported’.

We can confirm that this is a scam email and is not official. We urge parents that if you receive any emails like this, please do not respond, and delete it immediately.

Please note that these spellings do not follow a set rule as they are from the end of Y4 spelling list. Some parents have informed us that they are still testing their children on their spellings. This is a great idea and we hugely encourage it. Feel free to email us children’s scores.

Thanks
