Learning

Junk Modelling

To support our learning in Term 3, we are asking for your support to send in any junk modelling resources: box, plastic bottles, cardboard etc.

Thank you for your support.

Times Table Rock Stars

By the end of Year 4, all students will be expected to know their times tables up to 12 x 12. This is an essential skills. If students do not know these, it will mean that they are not meeting the expectations. 

To support students with learning their times tables, they can use TTRS online application. They have their own login details. Ideally, they should spend at least ten minutes three times a week. This will help them to remember the facts. Here is a video showing you how TTRS works. 

Calculation Year 3 and Year 4

We are sharing this document with you so that you know how to support your child with calculations at home. Please ask for clarification if you need it. 

Class blogs

Each week, we publish class blogs. The purpose of these is to give you an insight into your child's learning and what is happening in Year 4. Please visit the class blog and discuss your child's learning with them.

General information

Birthdays

Parents should not bring in class gifts, balloons, bubbles, whistles, games, drinks etc. Your child's class teacher will politely ask you to take these home with you. We enjoy celebrating birthdays by sharing a birthday treat such as donuts or cakes.

We are a NUT FREE school. Please when ordering birthday treats double check before bringing treats on the campus. 

Many toppings offered by some donut shops have flaked almonds in their toppings and peanut butter fillings. If you bring these in, unfortunately, we will have to send them home

Birthday Treats

• Children may bring in a special treat to share with the class.
• Please contact the class teacher to arrange a suitable time. In Year 4, you can do this on Monday or Wednesday as we have Spelling lessons on other days. 
• Brownies, cupcakes, small donuts, and cake slices are easier for your child to give out.
• We do not give out drinks (e.g., bubble tea, sodas)
• Please reduce plastic packaging.
• We do not allow party bags or other gifts to be given out at school, either for birthdays, or other celebrations.
