Ways you can help

• If you would like to be a parent helper, please contact Miss North or the school office.
• Read with your child for 10 minutes every day. 
• Ask the children questions about what they are learning about in school.
• Ask the children to tell you the time. You could show them both analogue and digital clocks to help them become more familiar with reading time in different formats.
• Ask the children to help you to count, money. You could also ask your children to tell you what change you should receive when paying in a shop. 
• Support your child with their times tables.

PE
​Our PE days are Tuesday and Thursday. Children will need to come to school in their PE kit. Please remember to dress appropriately for the weather.   

Library
​We will be visiting the library every Wednesday, please ensure library books are returned when you have finished with your book so you can get a new book.

Reading Books:

We endeavor to listen to all children read at least once a week with an adult, and in guided reading sessions weekly. Please ensure your child has their reading book and reading record in school each day.  As children become more confident readers, please continue to encourage your child to read out loud to an adult at home.  Please record anything they read aloud into their reading records. We will encourage the children to read at least three times a week at home to encourage their fluency, confidence and enjoyment of reading. We really appreciate your support with this. 

Homework 
Your homework has been fantastic! I am very proud of how creative and good quality your work has been. I look forward to seeing how creative you can be with your homework. Homework is issued on a Friday, and should be returned by the following Wednesday.  

​Can you spot any of your creative homework in our gallery?

Harvest Prayers:
As we prepared for Harvest, we have been reflecting on our beliefs, on our values, and on how we need to ask God for help us to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Have a look at some of our prayers that we have written as we celebrated Harvest. 

Concerns or worries:
Please do not hesitate to contact me or any member of the Year 4 Team via the school office or in person at the beginning or end of the school day if you have any messages, worries or concerns.

Thank you,
