Woodpeckers,

Have a lovely Easter holiday and enjoy your Easter eggs. We look forward to hearing all your news when we come back to school.

Homework

There will be homework set for the holiday to keep your brains active. 

Writing  - use the picture in your homework book to write a story paragraph.  This doesn't have to be a complete story, just a good paragraph that builds atmosphere and makes the reader feel the tension.  It can be in third or first person, use adverbs, expanded noun phrases, simple, complex and compound sentences. See if you can remember how to use a relative clause. Capital letters and full stops are very important.   

You will also find the logins for Times Table Rock Stars and Spelling Shed in your planners. Please do log in to these websites to practise your spellings and times tables.  

Year 4 -  next term you will have to do the times table test set by the government so it is important to use TT Rockstars and practise.  You will need to answer the times tables very quickly which is why it is important to practise these as much as possible.  

Reading Giants

Even though it's the holiday, please read at least 5 times and note them in your Planners. Remember, this can be reading your school reading book, reading your own books, reading a magazine/comic, listening to a story read by a grown-up, listening to a story on a device (such as a Tonie box), watching a story online/on TV (eg CBeebies Bedtime story). We are promoting a love of reading, so read what you enjoy - just remember to write it in your Planner and ask your grown-up to sign it each week. Mrs Shand will check the planners each Friday and will give you a sticker on our Reading Giants chart if you have had at least 5 reading sessions! Remember - we are working as a team to collect the most reads so if you don't read at home, your  year team won't have a chance at winning the most reads across the school.
