Team Chamberlain (Yr 4)

Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful break. It's a lovely amount of time to relax and catch up with friends and family, but it always amazes me how quickly it passes.

Term 5 is now upon us and hopefully it will bring the good weather with it. It's another exciting term with lots of fun learning, as well as a class trip!

PE (outdoor) is now on Mondays, so please make sure your child is wearing an appropriate PE uniform on this day. 

I will keep you all up to date with any further information, such as reading together, on the blog so do please keep looking.

As you all know, the Multiplication Tables Check is around the corner. This is a statutory test that all Year 4s in England will take part in. The test will take place online and consists of 25 multiplication questions which the children will have 6 seconds to answer each. More information about the assessment can be found in the attachment below.

To prepare the children we have been using Multiplication Tables Check - Mathsframe. We ask that you practise as often as you can on this at home to ensure your child is ready for the test.

In our practices at school, we have had some great results already and these could be even better with more practice.

Please find information on 'Wear a hat' day attached.

As part of Neuro Diversity and Inclusion Week, Yr 4 had the opportunity to work with Imagination Creative to work on some drama and drawing based on our book about inclusion, The Small Things.

The children worked together to move and make several shapes.

They thought about things and places that made them happy and drew them, made freeze frames about them and acted a scene about them.

Team Chamberlain loved dressing up for World Book Day last week and gave brilliant performances of the playscript of our school story, How to be a lion. They made props and added stage directions to their scripts - their collaborativeness was wonderful to see!

Next Week is a great opportunity for our children to learn about neurodiversity and inclusion.

If you have any questions about any of the events happening, please do get in contact with a member of teaching staff or contact Mrs Hughes and Mrs Elliot.
