COLOUR CHALLENGES: The colour groups link to the colour challenges children choose at school. If they find a concept a bit tricky, they may start with orange, if they feel comfortable, they move to green and if they feel very confident they may want to try purple.
SHARING LEARNING: If you feel you need feedback, help, support or that your child would benefit/ be more motivated by instant praise and input from their teacher, feel free to email any work of your choice. Our aim is to support families as much as we can and to celebrate learning rather than to make it a further chore for parents. Please share as you see fit in your circumstances.

History Day
What a fantastic day we had, you all looked superb! Year 4 you really made us so very proud, the effort made by all was a great celebration of this important date in our school calendar. We certainly were busy making shields, helmets, daggers and completing some Roman mosaic designs. We really enjoyed hearing about your knowledge of this topic. A very successful day, thank you to you all!

Recommended Reading.
4G had a wonderful Zoom lesson today, where were got to share our opinions on a huge range of texts. Out of the the whole class, there was not a single repetition in terms of the books that were chosen so it really shows what diverse readers we have!
I have complied a list of all the books that were discussed and I have also attached a recommended reading list for Lower Key Stage Two pupils! Remember, these books can be enjoyed independently or are lovely to share as a family. Happy reading!

AUTUMN TERM
Welcome back to school! We are delighted to see everyone and it is lovely to be excited about the year ahead.
We sent out a welcome letter with the children today. If you didn't receive it, please find it attached below.
2020 - 2021 Home Learning.
Autumn Term 2
Week 1
Welcome back everyone, so lovely to see all of your smiley faces this week, your positivity definitely keeps us all going.
This week in maths we have been revising the skill of subtraction and have explored a range of methods to calculate the answers. Put your skills to the test and be a Subtraction Superhero!
SPELLINGS
This week we are concentrating on adding the suffix ‘ous’ to turn a noun into an adjective.
Autumn Term
Week Seven
We just wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate all of Year 4 for their hard work and positivity throughout the half term. We are extremely proud of each and every one of them. They are excellent role models for Woodheys, a fantastic achievement.
This half term we have set a fun challenge that requires imagination and creativity, good luck!
SPELLINGS
This week we are concentrating on vowel sounds. The letter Y can make a long y sound or a short i vowel sound. There are also some other words that have a short i sound that a have some tricky parts to remember.
Week Six
Talking Task
SPELLINGS
This week we are looking at adding the suffix ‘ly’ to a root word to change a word to an adverb. Sometimes a word may already end in a suffix ‘ful’ so it is important to remember to add ‘ly’ not just y.
Week Five
In English, we have been using the book 'Lost Happy Endings' written by Carol Ann Duffy. We have been discussing the possibility of all the happy endings of bedtime stories being lost forever. This week, we have started to learn an alternative ending for 'The Three Little Pigs' and have ben putting actious to it in our Talk4Writing. We would like you to create your own alternative ending to a favourite traditional story. Maybe in your ending the slipper doesn't fit Cinderella. Or how about Goldilocks is charged with trespassing. We look forward to hearing your endings next Friday 16th October.
SPELLINGS We have continued to look at suffixes this week.
We have been looking at how 'ful' can be added to a noun (such as wonder) to create an adjective.
We then looks at how 'ly' can be added to adjectives to create adverbs.
Week Four
In science, we have been learning about the different ways to classify vertebrates. We have asked the children to research some animals that are either mammal, amphibian, reptile, bird or fish - the more unusual the better. You can choose to present the information in any way you like. Your could produce a poster, booklet, information text or even something on the computer. If you make something that you want to send in to us, it can be emailed to LKS2@woodheysprimaryschool.co.uk (FAO: class teacher)
SPELLINGS We have been working a lot of suffixes recently and how they can be added to root words to create new words. We have been using the correct vocabulary to discuss words (such as identifying their word classes and talking about vowels and consonants).
This week, we have been looking at the suffix 'tion' and how it can be added to a verb to change it to a noun.
e.g. invite can become invitation. Please find the spelling list below
Week Three
Rounding to the Nearest 10, 100 and 1000 Differentiated Activity Sheets.pdf
SPELLINGS We are continuing our work on homophones. If you need another copy of the list, click on the link below
