Year 4 Wonderful learning!

Dear Year 4,

You have worked so hard this week. I know there have been some good challenges and I am so proud that you do not give up like Sadie Spider, you Concentrate like Cooper Crab and try hard to keep improving, like Lizzie Ladybird. If learning was really easy - it would not actually be learning! The joy of learning new things is God’s gift to us all.

I hope you all have a lovely, restful weekend in this gorgeous sunshine. Look after each other and keep safe.

Hello from Nursery

Just a few words to say we are missing you loads! Nursery is very lonely without you.

Barbara and Clare have been very busy getting everything ‘just right’ for when you come back to nursery. Let’s hope it won’y be too long.

In the meanwhile keep checking the website for more links for learning at home. You may also like to check out what Miss Bassett is posting on the Reception blog…if you are up for a challenge?

Here are this weeks sites to explore:

"Family is the anchor that holds us through life's storms..."

And so we reach the end of another, very successful week learning at home.  As always, it has been wonderful to see the photo’s roll in each week! Each child’s face so full of pride and happiness with what they have learnt at home. I once again must say a big thank you for being so supportive with the learning set each week!

I have had so many emails explaining how the children are being just like our schools all important learning characters, particularly ‘Don’t give up Sadie spiders’ and ‘Enjoy learning Bobby bees’.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend at home, enjoying the sunshine that is forecast!

Take care,

Miss Bassett x

Reading

It is so important that you are reading each day and taking your quizzes. So try to fit in 30 minutes reading - choose a quiet, comfy place and dive into a book. (or an ebook)

Maths

I hope your Sumdog challenge went well, I can see that lots of people got really high scores on their 3 times tables one. Today I would you to have a go at this addition and subtraction quiz, we use these in school after a topic has finished. As we finished addition and subtraction before the Easter break I would like you to have a go at it, do not worry if you haven’t retained some of these strategies and need help from a grown up. Use drawings, practical equipment or anything else you want - there are some tricky questions on here which will really get that brain thinking!
