Welcome to Goldfinches’ Weekly Blog

Super focus and concentration during the assessments.

 

Friday Superstar: Evan

Top Table: Jacob H and George

 This week we have:

… worked so hard on all of our assessments showing great perseverance and concentration. Enjoyed the rehearsals for Matilda and sang beautifully in the Christingle service.

Next week we will:

Matilda: Performances on Wednesday afternoon and evening and Thursday evening. Costumes: School uniform on the bottom half (with tights or leggings under skirts for girls) and school shoes for all. Please send in a named white shirt if you have one. (School has some we can provide but any support in this will be appreciated) School will provide a tie for each child. Girls’ hair must be neatly plaited, tied back or in a bun please.

Writing: we will continue to write in the role of another character to develop our diary writing skills.

Reading: We will learn to answer questions with more depth and detail as we read and discuss ‘The Train to impossible places’.

Reading homework: We are so pleased with how our lovely Goldfinches are improving with getting their diary signed and reading with greater independence.

Please comment in your child’s diary when they have read aloud to you and sign when they have read independently to themselves. Please support your child to read for 10-20 minutes daily. In year 4 it is fine to have a mixture of your child reading aloud to you and them reading quietly to themselves.

Spelling: Our spelling focus this week will be from the y3/4 statutory spelling list and due to a busy week and lots of assessments this week- these will be the same spellings as last week.

Spellings to learn for our test on Friday 9th December: breathe, build, busy, business, calendar, caught, certain, accidentally, answer, bicycle.

Have a go at using the pyramid to practise at home.

Maths:  We will develop our addition and subtraction problem solving skills using a variety of methods to solve them.

 Maths Homework:  Have a go at the 8x table fortune teller and board game.

Have a go at the Maths Frame game which is modelled on the end of Year 4 Multiplication Check https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/477/Multiplication-Tables-Check

If you play the normal mode it will give any fact up to 12x12 with 6 seconds to answer. If you click ‘adjust difficulty’ you can choose the times table and change the time.

PE: Our PE day is Friday morning. Please come to school wearing appropriate PE kit- White t-shirt, black/blue plain hoodie and tracksuit bottoms or shorts, hair tied back and earrings removed or covered. As the grass might be wet first thing, please send your child with spare school shoes and socks to change in to after.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us via the office if you would like to discuss anything about your child.  admin@lostockgralam.cheshire.sch.uk     01606668270

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Evans, Mrs Judge and Miss Wilkinson.
