In Maths, they have learnt how to add numbers together using column addition, with and without exchange. We have finished our Science unit of work 'Animals including Humans'. Some of the children were surprised by our egg investigation as it revealed that orange juice appeared to be the worst liquid for teeth!

We have had a class full of Scientists this week in Ash! We started the week by kicking off our investigation to answer the question 'Which liquid causes the most tooth decay?' We are using white eggs to represent the enamal of teeth and soaking them in water, orange juice and coke. Stay tuned for the results next week! Later this week, we demonstrated how the digestive system works with a very messy practical! Take a look at the photos.

I can't quite believe it's Friday again, where has this week gone? It's been a very busy week in Ash Class. The children completed a reading test as well as two Maths tests and I'm very proud of how they all handled it and tried their best. They have also finished writing their own stories so next week we will start a new unit of English work based on the book 'Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World', looking at biographies. In History, they have written some letters in role as a Roman soldier building Hadrian's Wall. Today, we enjoyed some karaoke and stories in different languages to celebrate European Language Day!

I have sent the children home with some spellings to practise ready for a spelling test next week: with which when went where were our are because They also should have their reading folder and a reading book. It's really important they are reading regularly at home so please do record in their diaries when they have read. I hope everyone has a great weekend. Miss Radbourne :) Hello and welcome to a brand new school year!
We are really looking forward to welcoming your children back to school tomorrow. I am the class teacher, Miss Radbourne, and we will be supported by Mrs Shaw every morning. On a Wednesday morning, the children will be taught by Miss Chauhan and Mrs Mathews. We will also have Mrs Day supporting us on a Wednesday afternoon. Ash Class' daily arrival time is 9:00am. We ask that you please do not arrive early as we need to reduce congestion at the school gate, however siblings of other children may arrive at the earliest arrival time. Myself or Mrs Shaw will be there to collect the children and walk them to the classroom everyday. Our school day ends at 3:35pm and we will bring your children down to school gate ready to meet you. Please remember that your child needs to come with a fully equipped pencil case, a water bottle, warm clothing (our classroom will be well-ventilated with doors and windows open) and a coat. PE will take place on a Friday and we ask that your child comes dressed in their PE kit. We advise warm tracksuit bottoms and please remember a school jumper to keep warm during the day. Children will spend the day in their PE kit and wear it home again so that no PE kits are left in school. If your child requires a school packed lunch, please book this through the Gateway website. I hope your child is looking forward to returning to school, but please reassure them that if they are worried about anything, we are ready to listen and support them. We have an exciting day planned tomorrow with lots of 'getting to know you' games, an art activity and some sharing of what we have done over the Summer. There will be plenty of time for all of the children to catch up with their friends too! If you have any queries or questions, please send me a message via ClassDojo. Miss Radbourne. Hello and welcome to Ash Class page! We are the Year 4 class at North Tawton Community Primary School and our class teacher is Miss Beth Radbourne.
Every week, we complete a Times Table Rockstar challenge and a spelling test so it is really important that children are practising these at home. They should also be reading regularly at home. Key information about our school day can be found on our class newsletter and topic maps, but please feel free to contact me via Class Dojo if you have any questions. Regular updates about our learning will also be posted on Class Dojo. |
