Hello Woodpeckers, hope you enjoyed the long weekend.  I'm sure we will be thinking Tuesday is Monday!

Our learning behaviour this week  is 'push yourself'.

Our words for the week are 'command' (an instruction to a computer program to perform a specific task) and 'formal' (when your writing needs to be authoritative)

Our Value this half term is 'Friendship'.

Monday: Bank Holiday

Tuesday: **Menu change** The dessert option today is Chocolate cracklet 

Wednesday:.

Thursday:  PE with Mrs Windmill today so please come in PE uniform. Please make sure you are wearing the correct clothes for PE as outlined on the website under the Parent tab-uniform. 

Friday: Hand in homework from last Friday and spelling test **Sharing Assembly is at 9am today**

Homework

Homework for this week is to rewrite and punctuate the paragraph correctly. Please think carefully about your handwriting- we have been working on this in school and punctuation is a target that we need to improve the most. We need to be secure in punctuating our writing to achieve Year 3 and Year 4 Engllish expectations.

Times Tables

Log in and play TT Rock Stars! With the children we have now launched  a weekly reward for the person who uses it the most over the week. Year 4 you need to practise as you have the Times Table Test coming up soon. Keep practising the multiplication check on www.timestables.co.uk too!

You will  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.

Reading Giants

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.

Spellings -  

Year 3 - Your words all have the suffix -er You need to write out the phonemes that make each word, eg teacher would be t  ea  ch  er 

Year 4 - Your words are pairs of homophones. You need to match up the words to their meanings

Any questions, we're always on the playground at the end of the day- please speak to us.

Mrs Jordan and Miss Cross
