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.
Spellings for the week are 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/).
Please help your child with their spelling practise at home. We use spelling shed in school and all Class 3 pupils have log in details. You can log in here: https://www.edshed.com/en-gb/login
Reading
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.We greatly encourage regular reading and ask that children read every night and make an entry in their reading record using the Boom Reader App (https://www.boomreader.co.uk/). You can also take reading quizzes at home once a book has been finished: https://ukhosted49.renlearn.co.uk/2250969/default.aspx
English
In English, we are currently learning to write a News Report about the Norman Conquest (1066) using ‘Burying a Ship’ News Article as our inspiration.
Maths
We are learning about Fractions.
We are practising our times tables regularly, ready for the statutory Year 4 times tables test; please practise them at home as well. Year 4 pupils should know all of their times tables (up to 12 x 12). There are lots of games and challenges that can be found on https://ttrockstars.com/
