Welcome to Emerald Class
Hello!
Welcome to Emerald Class. We are a class of Year 3 and Year 4 children. Our teacher is Ms Langford and on Tuesday afternoons, Mrs Organ teaches us RE and SMSC. Mrs De Oliveira is our fabulous teaching assistant.
Homework
A piece of either Maths or English homework goes out once a week on a Monday and is due in the following Monday.
Spellings for the week are also sent home on a Monday, to learn before their spelling test on the Friday. Please help your child with their practise. Each child also has a login for Spelling Shed, to help them practise their spellings at home (https://www.spellingshed.com/en-gb/).
Regular reading is invaluable for children. We encourage the children to take their school reading books home and to read to an adult each night. This reading practise must be recorded in their reading records so that they can receive a Dojo point. Once your child is confident with their book, they can then take the quiz on Accelerated Reader. https://global-zone61.renaissance-go.com/welcomeportal/2250969
English
In English, we are currently learning to write a non chronological fact file about the Romans, using the book The Romans: Gods, Emperors and Dormice by Marcia Williams as our inspiration.
Maths
We are starting the year learning place value.
In school we regularly practise our times tables to prepare children for the statutory multiplication assessment in the Summer term of Year 4. It is expected by the end of Year 4, children are able to recall multiplication facts up to 12 x 12.
Every child in Year 3 and 4 has an account for timestables.co.uk. and Each time you practice your times tables on timestables.co.uk, you earn a medal. I wonder how many you can collect?
