Great Inventions Week 1
Hello guys,
Welcome to our first week of Great Inventions. This week we would like to you to design and build a shelter. You can build it in the garden and then test it to see if it is waterproof. You can be as inventive as you like but you need to remember that a shelter must provide a dry area for you to take camp.
Make sure you send us pictures of you in your shelter and some instructions on how you made it. Tell us why you chose the design and what it is for.
We look forward to seeing your great inventions and super shelter building skills.

WEEK 10- The Last Week of Globe Trotters
Year 3 and 4,
We have been amazed by your continuous commitment to 'Globe Trotters'. This will be the last week before we move onto some new exciting projects. The theme is 'Where I am From'! You can focus on the town, county or country that you were born. Or perhaps you have lived in another part of the world and want to showcase this. Remember to add facts, pictures, and something creative!
In addition, Mr Stevenson will be recording a lesson from school every Monday and posting this online- this week's lesson will link to the 'Globe Trotters' theme of 'Where I am From'.
Let's get learning about each other's cultures! Good luck!
Miss Dickson and the Year 3/4 Team!

White Rose Maths
A regular daily learning routine will help your child to learn more effectively at home. We therefore recommend that you aim to cover just one 20-30 minute White Rose Maths session each day.
Just follow these four easy steps…
1. Click on the set of lessons for your child’s year group.
2. Watch the video (either on your own or with your child).
3. Find a calm space where your child can work for about 20-30 minutes.
4. Use the video guidance to support your child as they work through a lesson.

Reading at Home
Hi Everyone,
I've put together a little slideshow as a guide to reading at home. It will hopefully help you to make the most of some useful online reading sites and also will explain a little about Accelerated Reader and quizzing at home.
I hope it is helpful.
If you have any questions do email them to me.
Happy Reading
Ms Redwood

Accelerated Reader
We hope you can build in time for reading into your day. This is a great opportunity to get lost in the wonderful world of books.
In school we use Accelerated Reader to quiz on the books the children read.
Below is the AR link so that your children can log in at home. Each child can log in to their own page and we can track their progress. They are very familiar with it and know how to use it. They have usernames and passwords that they have been using for some time in school so should remember them, but if they have forgotten, just email us and we will give you their login details again.
https://ukhosted110.renlearn.co.uk/2234818/
Children are encouraged to read within their level but that may not always be possible. If you have books at home that they would like to read and quiz on, and you would like to find out the book level, you can go to this link. It will tell you the book level and points value.
https://www.arbookfind.co.uk/UserType.aspx?RedirectURL=%2fdefault.aspx
If you don’t have a book at home that your child wants to read, you find online texts/eBooks here. They are all free or are allowing free registration for the time being.
https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page
https://www.getepic.com/?fbclid=IwAR36Ov46vE46gDdITiePCU_tiBiEVAS2u6keDezsDYpnhoaYSO0PwWgqvQE
This is very useful because you can search by level. When you register it askes you how you would like to search level books. Please select AR.
This is last one is by Renaissance, the company that provide Accelerated Reader and is also sorted by book level.
In year 3 and 4, many children will be developing into an increasingly fluent readers. The focus will be on building comprehension skills, but it is still important that children use their phonics knowledge to tackle new words.
There are many things you can do at home, to help:
Listen to your child reading. At this age, your child might prefer to read independently but listening them to read sometimes is still a worthwhile thing to do. You can help with unfamiliar words and can talk to them about the book to make sure they understand.
Read to your child. This is still important too. It means that they will be able to hear books they might not yet be able to read themselves. Sharing and talking about books is a lovely way to spend time together and helps them value good books.
Value your child’s choices. This is important even when a book looks too easy or too difficult. They can often read books that initially appear to be too difficult (especially if the topic interests them). They may well need help with tricky words and to understand at a deeper level.
Below is further information from the AR team which may be useful to you.
