Dear Parents and Carers,

We’ve had another fantastic week in class, and the children have been working incredibly hard!

In Y4 Maths, we are nearing the end of our focus on the 3, 6, and 9 times tables, and the children have shown great resilience and determination in mastering these multiplication facts. Their confidence is growing, and we are looking forward to increasing their fluency in the forthcoming week. Please continue to use the sites I referred to last week for support at home.  We will launch Times table Rockstars after the half-term, using it in class with the option to do so at home.

In English, the children have produced some wonderful written letters, inspired by our class book Escape from Pompeii. They stepped into the shoes of Tranio, writing to a friend about the terrifying eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Their writing has been truly impressive, with fantastic use of prepositions and fronted adverbials to bring their descriptions to life. We are so proud of their creativity and effort!

Thank you for your continued support—have a lovely weekend!

Mr. Loftus
