Hawks have had a great first week back at school as Year 4s! 

This week we have been settling into school routines, refreshing our minds on the school values and promises and finding our flow again with classroom routines. 

In maths this week we have been looking at place value. We have represented and partitioned numbers up to 1000. 

In English this week we have started our class book in guided reading; The Firework Makers Daughter, used a thesaurus to find alternative verbs for our writing, written about our favourite summer memories and refreshed our Sounds Write knowledge to help us with our spelling. 

In Geography, we have started to look at this term's topic; Why do people live in challenging places? We have shown our current understanding and knowledge through creating our knowledge webs and even completed our first plickers quiz.

In PE we enjoyed our very first dance session, as this term we are aiming to create our own class dance for our dance festival.

Star of the week:

Just like last year, each week we will be celebrating a child from the class as our 'star of the week'. This week our star is... Coco! Coco has shown such a great smiley, positive attitude to her first week back at school. She has also shown great effort within her learning!

Reminders for next week:

- PE days are Monday and Friday. 

- Please bring in reading records each day and read 5x per week at home. 

- Home learning is sent out each Friday in home learning folders. Their new home learning is attached to their weekly EMT (Early morning task) sheet that is being sent home in their bags today. 

Have a lovely weekend :).
