Welcome to Boreal Owls!

Year 4 - Boreal Owls

Teacher: Mrs Pinto (Mon, Tues) and Mrs Marah (Wed, Thurs, Fri)

TA: Mrs Drummond

Welcome back and welcome to Boreal Owls! We are so excited to see you all and hear about your summer holidays. We are also very excited to get started with our year 4 learning!

Here is all the important information that you'll need to know:

PE Days - PE will be on a Tuesday morning (starting tomorrow, Tuesday 6th September) with Mr Sykes (hockey) and on a Friday with Mrs Marah (dance). Please could children come to school wearing their PE kit on those days.

Spellings - Spellings will continue to be given once a week and tested the following Monday morning. All spelling lists can be found on this web page. They are sorted into your child's spelling group.

Homework - Homework will be given out on a Friday and needs to be returned by the following Wednesday. 

Reading - This year we will check all reading records on a Monday morning to make sure that children have read at least three times a week (either to you if they are a less confident reader or they can read on their own if they are more confident). We are happy for a child to write in their reading records themselves but please could you assist by checking and signing once a week? This year there will also be termly reading challenges so it's important that they do not lose their reading record and bring it into school every Monday morning. 

Guitar - The whole class will be learning the guitar with our specialist guitar teacher on a Thursday morning.

Class Reading Book - We are excited to begin reading 'Secrets of a Sun King' by Emma Carroll as our new class reading book. We have both read it over the summer holidays and think the children will love it. As always, this is entirely voluntary, but if you would like to buy a copy to support your child's learning it would be extremely appreciated. It is so much more valuable for them to be able to read along with us every day in their own copy. They can then bring them home at Christmas to add to their own book shelf. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Secrets-Sun-King-Emma-Carroll/dp/0571328490

If you have any questions at all about what we are doing this year, or any worries, then please do not hesitate to ask one of us at the end of the day. 

We can't wait to see you all!

Mrs Pinto and Mrs Marah
