Welcome to Cherry Class!
What a lovely few days Cherry Class has had! It has been fantastic to begin teaching this wonderful class again and exploring life together in Year 4. The children have all settled back into school life so well and they have loved being back with their friends. The children have got straight back into learning new things and working hard.
We have started our place value topic in Maths, along with beginning to practice and rehearse our times tables (a huge focus for us this year!) In English we have started writing a narrative based on the short Disney film, Feast. The children are very excited to find out what happens as we get further into the plot. In Science we are exploring states of matter and are very much looking forward to making Oobleck to identify the differences between states! These are just a few of the highlights so far and there is much more to come so keep an eye on our Facebook page and website for further Cherry Class updates.
Important Information:
Tuesday – Forest
Forest school will take place regardless of the weather (unless extreme) so please can you ensure your child is wearing appropriate clothing (long sleeve tops and trousers) as well as bringing their wellies and waterproofs in a separate labelled bag to change in and out of, if necessary.
Thursday – PE
Please could children come into school wearing the correct PE kit (Longvernal P.E. t-shirt, black shorts or sports trousers and trainers). PE will be outside for the first term, so black Longvernal fleeces or green Longvernal jumpers can also be worn.
Homework –
Weekly (personal) spellings – your child will have these written down, and they will be tested on them every Friday.
Read a minimum of 3 times a week (recorded in their reading log)
Complete a scrapbook style journal entry
Complete 10 minutes of Doodle Maths/Tables
Practise their times tables as often as possible.
Finally, please could you give the office an up-to-date ‘approved pick up list’ for your child, which we can update in records. This should include anyone who may be likely to pick your child up at the end of the day. For safety reasons, I will not let your child go home with anyone who is not on the list or been discussed with either
myself or the office prior to pick up, regardless of whether the child knows the person or not. Thank you with your cooperation with this matter.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me either before or after school with any questions, or alternatively, my email is ablack@longvernal.mnsp.org.uk.
I am very much looking forward to an exciting year ahead!
Miss Black
