Have you ever stored keys in your shoes?

By Miss L Bliss16th September 2016

This week Year 4 were lucky enough to meet Stuart Myers. Stuart was born without arms and has overcome every barrier in his life, which the children thoroughly enjoyed learning about.

Highlights included:

  • his adapted car
  • his computer skills
  • his ability to manage a team
  • and how he unlocks his car from his shoe!

His amazing resilience was inspirational for all.

This session concluded our ‘inspiration and aspiration’ topic. Next week we begin our whole school project, looking at how effective our learning environments are.

We hope you have a lovely weekend!

Year 4 Homework changes

By 12th September 2016

Due to a Homework club being set up on Fen Street on a Wednesday after school,Year 4 homework is now due in on Thursdays. This will give children the opportunity to go to Homework club to complete their homework on Wednesdays, the day before it is due in. Homework will still be given out on a Thursday as well – this will give children a whole week to complete it.

This also means that spelling tests will be on Thursdays so children have a whole week to learn their spellings as well.

Thank you

Year 4 – First week back!

By f gilders9th September 2016

Year 4 have settled back into the Brooklands Family well. This week, we have kicked off the first Talk4Writing sequence with a special visit from Michael Morpurgo’s ‘The Dancing Bear’. The children will be working on their own animal character descriptions over the next few weeks. In maths, we have started looking at place value, negative numbers and sequencing. We are now all ready to read the temperature in December!

We started to discuss the skills we need to become a good or outstanding artist, geographer, or scientist and will continue to look at what skills we would need for other subjects over the next week.

The children have a mixture of maths and spellings to complete for their homework. This is due in on Wednesday.

We are looking forward to seeing the children complete their transition target cards so that they can get stuck into their new Year 4 Achieve target cards. A great week – well done Year 4.

Spellings will also be given out on a Thursday for children to practice for their weekly spelling test every Wednesday (the following Wednesday)

Homework will be marked on Wednesdays as well.

If your child is struggling with their homework, please encourage them to speak to their teacher, who will arrange a time in the school day to go through it with them.

Here is the Year 4 summer holiday homework – there is some Reading homework linked to our new Year 4 Key Author, Michael Morpurgo, and some Project homework, linked to our aspiration and inspiration transition project. We have also sent a copy of the Year 3 and 4 spelling list home so that you can see the words that children are expected to know how to spell by the end of Year 4.
