We also have carols around the tree on Monday at 2pm, the pantomine on Wednesday (12.30- aiming for a 5.15 return) and church survive on Thursday starting at 9.30.

A big thank you to everyone for their effort this half term, we’ve had a wonderful start to the year! This week we have achieved personal bests in PE,  completed a Geography quiz and project, and edited our independent write in English 😊

New spellings were given out, a times-table sheet as homework along with a reading river. Please also make sure reading is documented in reading records.

The reading river can be completed in homework books or on a plain piece of paper if you have one. It is a river showing all the things we read everyday, this can include signs, wrappers, menus or anything else! There are some examples on the sheet handed out if anyone is struggling for ideas.

Most children are passing times-tables, however practising these on TTRockstars in addition to the homework, will help to support this.

Our value champion was Freddie, who is always trying to inspire others and has begun to take real pride in his work. Well done Freddie ✨

I hope everyone has a lovely half term and bonfire night! See you all on the 7th November,

Miss Roberts

We’ve had a lovely week in Ercall again, shading in art, learning about changes of state in science, and practising accuracy whilst moving in PE 😀

Next week we will be learning about different countries in Europe for Geography, practising times tables in maths and learning how to play to glockenspiels  to mamma Mia in music 🎵

Homework this week is a times table sheet and should be returned next Friday.

In Year 4 there is a national multiplication check. This takes place during June and is an online check consisting of 25 questions with children having 6 seconds to answer, testing all times tables up to 12. Whilst children may know times tables in order, this check will not test them in order, so they need to be able to develop their fluency and confidence to prepare for this.

We aim to practice this using soundcheck on TTRockstars, which can be accessed at home (the link can also be found below). You can also practice individual times tables. Login information can be found at the front of reading records. Whilst there is no official pass mark, learning times tables is an important part of mathematical knowledge.

Spellings will be tested on Monday and new ones given out for the following Monday.

This Friday everyone received an accelerated reader book, which can be identified by a coloured band on the side of it. We have also wrote reading ages and the colour band book they should be reading inside of reading records. Please ensure older siblings/ an adult is listening to your child read 3X a week and making a small note of the book title, page number and comment on how they have read in reading records. When they have finished their book they will take a quiz on accelerated reader in school. This assesses if they have understood what they have read and calculates how many words they have read too. Once they have taken this quiz, they will be given a new accelerated reader book.

The children will also have a reading for pleasure book. This is a book they are welcome to read, but their accelerated reader book is the one which should be recorded in reading records and read 3X a week.

pantomine letters were sent home on Thursday, please let me know if you need another. It is payable in weekly instalments, but please see the office staff about this.

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend,

Miss Roberts

Please do dojo if you would like to book a parents evening slot, or return the slip on the letter, and I will try my hardest to accommodate everyone🙂

I hope everyone has a lovely break and good rest, ready for our Summer term ☀️
