Year 4 Home-Learning ActivitieS
A final welcome to the home learning page for Year 4!
It was great to see Nightingales back in school last week and we are really looking forward to having Nuthatches in school for their return days this week! Please remember to bring in: a water bottle, a lunch box if you do not have school dinners, a big plastic bag to take your work home, class/library books, any school resources borrowed such as rulers, sharpeners etc and a piece of work/example of a new skill you have learnt that you are particularly proud of to share.
There is only one day of home learning for this week because Nightingales will have one day from last week to catch up on and Nuthatches will be in school for one day this week!
A HUGE well done to everybody for trying your best with all the home learning and a big THANK YOU to your adults for helping! We know it was a very different Summer Term to what we all expected but you have all been BRILLIANT and we are so PROUD of all you have achieved!
As the school year draws to an end, we would like the children to take time to reflect on the amazing learning and progress they have made. Please look back through their home-learning books and celebrate all the fantastic learning that has taken place during their time at home.
The school website will be returning back to normal over the summer holidays and the home learning emails will be shut down so please return back to emailing the office if you need to contact the school.
CONGRATULATIONS for finishing Year 4, we hope you have a WONDERFUL summer holidays and GOOD LUCK next year!
