Class 4 Blog

I was very impressed this week with the spelling and times table test results, the vast majority of children have clearly practiced at home over the past week. Keep up the fantastic work!

This week I have managed to navigate the Purple Mash website and I have added a interactive resource for the children to access to practice their spellings. Just in-case there’s any hiccups, please see the lists below:

Year 5

illuminate
admiration
foundation
forgotten
gardening
great
grate
fascinate
expression
possession

Year 4

heel
heal
main
mane
medal
meddle
key
quay
check
cheque

For Multiplication, I ask that each child spends sometime over the course of the week practicing their multiplication skills using the Times Table Rock Stars website. This is important for both Year 4 and 5 children as these skills are used across the curriculum; however it must be noted that if your child is in Year 4, the government are intending to continue with the Year 4 multiplication assessment this academic year and a little bit of practice each week would be beneficial.

Next Wednesday I will be testing the children on their knowledge of the 4x table.

This online resource can be very helpful with learning timetables:

Simply click timestables and click x4.

Welcome back to school!

It has been wonderful having children back in school over the past week and seeing them express so much enthusiasm towards their learning. To ease the children back into completing homework this week I am only going to set multiplication and spelling homework.

Generally, I will set the spellings this year using PurpleMash (all children have their own login – if your child cannot remember it, do not hesitate to get in touch with the office and they will supply the details to you or send a note in with your child). Unfortunately, due to a technical glitch I am unable to set the spellings using Purple Mash this week therefore the spellings are listed below:

Year 4:

groan
grown
affect
effect
fair
fare
great
grate
through
threw

Year 5

optician
pyramid
trouble
country
incomplete
peace
piece
vein
weigh
parachute

Some children will receive a different list to the one shown above (please check your child’s book bag)

Good Morning Class 4!

Today marks the last Friday round up in it’s current format as next week will entail you all completing transition based activities that will appear on the whole school class blog.

I feel that sports week has been a great success and that you have all completed exceptional work once again. Please check out the work submitted below (please note some of the work is from creative arts week – due to me receiving it after I had posted the celebration blog, however I still wanted to share all of the fantastic work I received):

Good Morning on this wet and windy Friday. I hope I find you all well today.

I feel like I repeat myself every week in relation to saying how impressed I am with all of the work that I have received. But it is true, each week you continue to raise the bar. Here is a selection of all the work that you have sent in:

A massive congratulations must be sent out to Alasdair who has successfully completed his Green Blue Peter badge (although Lachlan is looking a bit off colour behind the Blue Peter letter – get well soon!):

Another excellent week of work completed by class 4. It has been great to see all of the work submitted on the theme of picnics, I may be biased, but I have loved receiving the art work that you have completed.

Hello Class 4! I hope you are all well and that you have enjoyed completing the Into the Woods themed activities for this week.

The bar was set very hard last week by you all, with top quality work submitted. I must admit that you have surpassed this with the Into the Woods theme. Check out all of the amazing work completed:

Remember to view all the way to the end…where you will find a treat!

Hello Class 4! I hope you are all well and that you have enjoyed completing the Under the Sea themed activities for this week.

I have certainly enjoyed receiving so many excellent pieces of work from you all…I’ll try and get as many examples as possible shared in this blog. But I will post at least one example of work from each child that has send one to me. I’ve also received some amazing music videos and animations this week, which I hope to share on Tuesday when I’m in school (I need another piece of tech).

Remember to view all the way to the end…where you will find not just 1 treat but 2 for all the amazing work you have completed this week!

Check out this treat…live competitive golf back in action!

Only joking here are some punk rocker pigs from Chester Zoo:
