Year 4 Blog - Owl Class

Hello Lovely owls As always, we like to keep you informed of what we are doing at school. Please find attached a copy of our curriculum map for this half-term. We hope you find it useful. Many thanks Mrs Ingle and Mrs Mellor.

This half-term, we’ll read storybooks that will help us to understand e-safety messages and remind us that it is sometimes important to switch off technology and have fun with our friends and families.  Throughout the project, we’ll

We had an egg-citing treat day to celebrate the end of term.  Below are a few photos to give you a taste of the day.  

We wish you an egg-cellent Easter break and hope you have a cracking time!!!

The children have been thoroughly engaged by the awe and wonder of science, which has got us off to a flying start of being back together again as a whole class.  We have been looking at what plants need to grow through the stories of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ and ‘The Tiny Seed’ by Eric Carle.  We’ve been busy planting beans, looking for buds during our Welly Wednesday session and using lots of vocabulary to describe what is happening during our daily experiments, including the words: ‘dissolves’, ‘diffusion’  and  ‘dispersal’!

Attached are some photos that will hopefully show you how happy the children have been. 😀

 

Dear Parents,

After 3 weeks of  lockdown we are finding that our Reception bubble is one of the largest in school and is close to capacity. We do not want to be in a position where we are unable to safely accommodate all Reception pupils requesting a critical worker place in school. Consequently,  please be mindful of the following before booking a critical worker place in school:

• ‘Children with at least one parent or carer who is a critical worker can go to school or college if required, but parents and carers should keep their children at home if they can.’ (DfE)

•  “If you’re a key worker and your partner doesn’t work then you shouldn’t be sending your children to school. That’s clear in the guidance.” Matt Hancock, Health Secretary

I am not sending this information to make parents feel guilty or to contradict information that employers have sent out – these are challenging times for everyone, but I have a responsibility to share guidance with you and urge parents not send their children to school whilst transmission rates are so high unless it is necessary. For some families I totally accept that it is necessary some days, or every day, each week - we are here to help those families.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions at all.

Kind regards,

Mr Cresswell

Hi all!

Just a quick reminder that we are having a pyjama day tomorrow as our class treat.  Please bring your child to school wearing their pyjamas.  We will still be going outside for playtime so they will need their coats and shoes as normal. 

I will leave the children's Welly Wednesday waterproofs by the gate tomorrow morning in case you want to take them home over Christmas.......you never know, we may get a snow day!  If you would like to leave them at school. that's fine too.

Take care.
