Welcome to Goldfinches’ Weekly Blog
What a fantastic week- with everybody back together again!
You have all made me so proud with the way you have put so much focus and effort into the assessments and our final piece of Leon writing.
Friday Super star: Erica
Top Table: Destinee
If your child would like to send a Christmas card- this is absolutely fine, but please just send to the children in Goldfinches as we will not be delivering cards to different classrooms.
Worship: This week in worship we have listened to the Christmas story and discussed the Good News it shares.
Next Week:
Monday: Every child will make a Christingle and we will enjoy an online Christingle service.
Tuesday: We will watch the Pantomime virtually from our classroom.
Wednesday: Christmas jumper day, Christmas lunch and Christmas fair.
Thursday: Christmas Carol service.
Friday: Christmas party day – wear own clothes and have a party lunch. (The children will have a shorter PE lesson with Mr Ault so please send in trainers and a warm hoodie) School closes at 1pm.
Next Week:
Writing: We will edit our diary entries.
Reading: We will continue to read ‘The Train to Impossible Places’ and find out where Suzy ends up next!
Reading homework- please keep up the great work with our mission to read for 15 minutes daily at home. This helps so much with our reading, imagination, punctuation and sentence structure… but, more importantly, is so much fun!
Spelling homework: As we did our assessments last week, we have rolled over the spellings from last week and will test them in this final week. The spellings are from the Y3/4 Statutory word list.
This week’s words: century, circle, certain, complete, consider, continue, decide, describe, different, difficult
Maths: We have learned to add using the formal column method and next week we will learn about coordinates with a christmas theme .
Times Tables Homework:
Try Tommy’s Trek to practise x6, x9 with division facts, or challenge yourself to mixed tables. https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/318/Tommys-Trek-Times-Tables
RE: This week RE will focus on Christingle.
Science: We will continue to learn about the function of each part of the digestive system.
History: We will present our learning about Alexander the Great and answer the question: ‘How Great was Alexander the Great?’
PE: PE will be on Wednesday and Friday this week. Please remember to tie long hair back and remove earrings on PE days. As the outside area can get quite wet, please send in a spare pair of shoes and socks for your child to change into should they need to.
PSHCE: Our Heart Smart lesson focused on finding visible and invisible similarities and differences between us. We listened to and discussed the story of The Invisible Boy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNHc2XCultQ
Music: We enjoyed playing the Glockenspiels to recap the notes DEF and added the note C. We learned what ‘improvisation’ was and had a go!!!!
As always, please don’t hesitate to contact us if you would like to discuss your child. Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Evans
