Miss Sagar’s Class - Spring Term
January 2016
Dear Parents,
Happy New Year to you all! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.
Thank you for all of the thoughtful wishes, gifts and cards, they were very
much appreciated.
The children have settled in well after the Christmas break and we are all
looking forward to an exciting term! Our topic this term is called ‘Hunted’
which will link all subject areas where possible. The children have already
shown a great interest in this topic! For more information about the work
we are covering this term please see the attached curriculum map.
Our PE sessions for this term are on a Monday, with Gary from Team
Theme, and a Tuesday afternoon. Please make sure that your child has a
full indoor PE kit in school at all times and an outdoor PE kit for our
Tuesday sessions.
Homework will continue to be given out on a Friday and this is due the
following Wednesday. Children may sometimes be given extra time to
complete longer homework tasks and they will be aware of when this is.
They will continue to receive maths homework which focuses on a specific
concept of maths and they have two weeks to practise the skill ready for a
quiz. Spellings will also be given out on a Friday and children are
encouraged to learn the words for a spelling test the following Friday.
Please continue to encourage your child to complete their homework
independently so they can use their skills and knowledge to complete the
task. Please feel free to write comments on the sheet or in their diary
letting me know how they found the work.
Please could you continue to encourage your child to read to you at home
as often as possible, as this will really help them to build a bank of
interesting vocabulary and techniques to apply to their independent
writing. If possible, please could you continue to discuss with your child
what they have read and ask them questions about the book, as this will
help to improve their comprehension skills. Once they have finished their
reading books please ensure you sign their reading record so they are able
to change their books.
Below is a reminder of weekly activities and attached is a timetable for this
Spring term.
I hope you have found the information in this letter useful. If you have any
questions or queries please feel free to see me after school, as I am usually
on the playground at the end of the day, or book an appointment via the
school office and I will be glad to help. Thank you for all your help and
continued support, I look forward to another fun and productive term in
Year 4!
Best wishes to you all for this New Year.
Miss Sagar.
