Welcome to Hope Class page!

Class Teacher: Mr N Shortland

Welcome to our class page!  What a pleasure it is to share the children's learning and experiences with you.

What an important term this is as we form relationships and establish our routines and expectations.  We are so pleased to welcome you to our class page as we continue our journey in Year Four and look forward to sharing our love of learning with you.

Please click on the star for each term below to find out more about our learning.

Reading books

 Please can we ask that reading books and records come into school every day so that we can listen to your child read in school as often as possible. We encourage children to read to their adults or siblings at home and leave a comment in the reading log. We know life can be hectic, so as year fives we encourage them to take responsibility for their own reading. If they have read to themselves they can also log this, any books read can be entered into this log as we love to discuss their reading choices with them. Our reading logs have room for pupils to write a comment and give the book or chapter read a mark out of 10. Encourage your child to think about and explain orally why they give that score.

Homework and Spellings

Each week, your child will be given spellings to practice at home alongside homework activities.  This will be given out on a Friday and should be handed back in by the Wednesday.

PE Days

Please can we ask that the correct PE kit is to be in school ready for lessons at all times including outdoor PE kit as we like to get outside and be active as much as possible. We are timetabled to have PE on Monday and Thursday but this can change.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact school where we will be happy to help you.

Times Tables

Alongside homework, we will be setting challenges on MathShed linked to our learning. This is to prepare the children for the Multiplication Check that they will be sitting towards the end of Year 4. Any spare moment, please practise times tables. If you need any support with this, please do not hesitate to contact me.
