Homework
In Year 4 we ask that children read for 10 minutes a night at least 5 times a week as part of their weekly homework. To encourage their independence, we also ask children to write a comment in their reading record about what they have read. Parents please sign underneath this to confirm that your child has read, however f you also wish to make a comment you are free to do so. Reading records must be signed by a parent before your child can change their reading book.
In Year 4 we will also send home either spellings or times tables to practice for that week which should take 5 minutes a night.
In addition to this, we may also send home a short, additional task for your child to complete at home.
Homework will be sent out on a Thursday and must be returned to school on Tuesday morning. If, for whatever reason, your child cannot complete the homework, please write a note to the class teacher to let them know.
Many thanks,
Year 4 class teachers
In Year 4 we have been learning about the Benin Kingdom. After researching brass plaques of the Oba, we tried to create some of our own using linoleum tiles.
We conducted an experiment to see the effect that different liquids can have on your teeth. We used egg shell to act as the tooth and covered the egg shell in the liquid for two days. These were the results!
We had a lot of fun learning about how the digestive system works. We made our own digestive system using some tights, orange juice, crackers, water, plastic cups and a plastic bag.
