Year 3/4
Welcome to the Summer Term at St George's school Y3/4!
The Multiplication Tables Check for Year 4 is this term. Read all about it here.
Swimming Lessons
Y3/4 have a swimming lesson each Monday morning. They will need their kits each week. I recommend that they bring a healthy playtime snack for after swimming as it makes them really hungry!
Our class Reader Leaders and Worship Monitors.
Our wonderful 'Reader Leaders' support their peers with choosing a new book to read for pleasure. They also create displays in our class book corner and the library to encourage reading throughout the school. They are doing a marvellous job!
The 'Worship Monitors' help to lead the Picture News in-class assembly each week. They also help to lead the prayers and celebrations in our whole school Friday assembly. Our pupils enjoy taking responsibility and getting involved in all areas of our school.

Reading
In Year 3/4 we read every day individually and as a year group. This half term we are reading King of the Cloud Forests by Michael Morpurgo. At the end of each day we relax and enjoy story time before we go home. During this time we are also currently sharing poetry from 'An Emotional Menagerie' and non-fiction books about ancient Egypt. We also have a weekly session in our wonderful school library where we choose books to read for pleasure. Your child will regularly read individually with an adult also. Please help them to remember to bring their book to school each day and sign their diary when they have read at home. They receive a class dojo for remembering their book and diary and an extra class dojo each time you sign the diary.
We celebrate the books they are reading by discussing them in Book Wars and the children are really enjoying writing book reviews to share. Sometimes your child will come home with the class book review book. Please help them create a book review about one of their favourite reads, from home or school, and they can share it with the class.
For Christmas the class were given a sponsorship of a polar bear with the WWF, and the the class bear may come to stay for a night. Please support your child by reading the book about bears that comes with him and fill in the diary scrapbook.

Vocabulary
Each week we are learning 3 new words from our English work. These are displayed on our wall and we learn actions for them and play around with them in new sentences and word games. They are our 'Wonderful Words of the Week'.
Check-in Charts
Our classroom routine is supported by our emotions chart on which the children share and show their emotions. All emotions are valid and natural and we discuss how to manage our feelings and regulate them if necessary. We have been discussing our emotions and what to do if we need help with them. This helps all the pupils to feel supported and ready to learn in class. We have a 'message monster' in which the students can write and share important feelings.
Homework
The children have logins for Spelling Shed and Times Tables Rockstars. Here they can challenge themselves and practice their weekly homework tasks.
