Accelerated Reader ZPD

If your child is on Accelerated Reader, they should be bringing home their new AR book this weekend. This book will show the ZPD number that the children will be starting at based on the results of their STAR Reading Test which they have completed this week.

 

Reading Ideas

The children will be keeping their reading book in school all week and bringing their book home on a Friday in order to read to the adults at home. They will  be encouraged to read other books/materials at home throughout the week as well.

The Peters Books website still has a suggested list of reading books categorised by year groups and a set of downloadable activities for children to complete based on different books.

The National Oak Academy is currently updating its pages and will have various reading activities for the children to do.

Have a look at the links below.

Welcome back

Good morning Year 4,

We hope you had had a wonderful Summer holiday. We can not wait to see your faces and hear about everything you have been up to.

Here are a couple of reminders for you:

  • Lockers will not be in use.
  • Only bring in your coat, water bottle and lunch box. From Week 3, please bring your reading book and diary in on a Monday. You will be given time to get a book during Week 2. Please do not bring in school bags.
  • You must remain socially distanced when walking around school.
  • You will be given regular hand washing opportunities.
  • You will need to remain separated from children from different class ‘bubbles’ when visiting the toilet.
  • You will have a certain seat so please find your reading diary on the table tomorrow.
  • Our PE days are on Monday and Tuesdays, starting from Week 2, so please come into school wearing your PE kit on those days.
  • Starting from Week 2, Maths homework will be set online using MyMaths on a Friday. As well as this, new spellings will be put in to reading diaries and published on the website.

Enjoy the rest of your day and please don’t worry about tomorrow!

See you in the morning,

Mrs Beardwood and Mrs Taylor

How are you feeling?

Just as we look after our physical health, it’s important to look after our mental health.

Self-care is all about what you can do to help yourself feel better or to keep yourself feeling good. It’s a way that we can look after our own mental health and wellbeing. It can help your body and mind to relax, drift away, or be more energised.

Have a look in the pack attached which has some great activity
suggestions – give them a try and see what works for you!
