Good evening,
It was great to have transition day today and meet the new classes. Your children were amazing! If you wanted to get in contact with your child’s new (or in some cases, the same) class teacher, our email addresses are:
Thomas.marsh@taw.org.uk
natalie.jukes@taw.org.uk
nicholas.parker4@taw.org.uk
Thanks for your support as always!
A gentle reminder that the appointment slips for parents of children with SEND need to be in tomorrow please.
There will be a reply with your time slot to meet with the new teacher, old teacher and SENCO in your child’s bag tomorrow night.
In preparation for an assembly the Guardians of Safety will be hosting on Monday (26.06.23), we are asking for your help! Transition day for some children is a worrying time and the Guardians decided something that would help would be knowing a little about the teacher before hand. With this in mind, we asked all the teachers for 3 facts about them! In assembly, the GOS will be asking the children who they think said what!
In the assembly, the GOS will be sharing some tips on how to manage change and think positively! We hope that this helps children as we prepare for transition day on Wednesday 28th June.
Have a look as a family and see if you can figure out which facts belong to which teacher… all will be revealed on Monday!
Thank you for understanding our cancellation of the Year 4 Sports Day today due to the forecast.
The new date will be Tuesday 27th June 1.30pm.
Thank you for your support.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As part of this year’s carnival, we are celebrating local heroes and keyworkers. Please may we request any photos of your parents in their work uniforms to use for our display as part of this year’s carnival?
Any parents who are: police officers, fire fighters, doctors, nurses, refuse collectors, teachers, cleaners, caretakers, carpenters, plumbers etc. These will be much appreciated.
Please send your photos directly to Mrs Jukes. The contact e-mail is natalie.jukes@taw.org.uk.
If we could have these photos by Thursday at the latest, this will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you Mrs Jukes
Y4 will be doing something a little bit different tomorrow as we look at the practicalities of life for Messy Maths Day! The children will focus on budgeting, saving and thinking about how to spend money wisely in their activities across the day. It will also reward problem solving and excellent teamwork. Look out for photos across the day on the school website.
Activities will mostly be outdoors so just making sure that children have got suncream on and hats if they wish but normal uniform otherwise. We are looking forward to what should be an exciting day.
Mr Marsh, Mrs Jukes and Mr Parker.
Once the children return to school after half term, the testing window for the Year 4 MTC will be open.
The testing window will take place from Monday 5th June until Friday 16th June. Children will be completing the test in small groups using school iPads. Children have had opportunities to practise completing the MTC several times prior to the official check taking place so should feel comfortable with the set up.
If you would like to help support your child with this at home, please encourage the use of TTRS – this will have been set by the class teacher to target specific questions which the children can improve their recall on.
Help with tables at home – NJS You can also make use of some resources from this booklet which includes lots of tips to help your child with their fluent recall of all times tables.
We are very proud of our Yr 4 children and we know that they will all take this as an opportunity to shine in their maths, as they have been all year.
If you have any questions regarding the MTC Framework then please speak to myself (Y4 Maths Lead) or to Mr Jones (Whole School Maths Lead)
