Our learning this term:
Below is some information that you may find useful about Sycamore Class learning and expectations. Our class focus this term is Ancient Egypt. The topic web below (appearing soon) shows what we are learning about in each curriculum area. Please do come and see me or send me a message on Class Dojo if you have any questions or concerns.
Reading expectations in Y3/4
Our expectation in KS2 is that all children must read a minimum of 4 times a week. Comments should be recorded in their Reading Record. This will usually be a couple of pages from their school book but please still encourage your child to read a range of reading materials (magazine/comic/e-book etc). Children who meet the expectations will be allowed a special playtime on Friday afternoon. If they do not meet the required standard of reading, they will stay in & read instead. We know there may occasionally be exceptional circumstances some weeks but please do try and help your child to achieve the goal - it would be great if all children had extra play every single week.
Homework expectations in Y3/4
Homework will be set at the beginning of each term. This will be a range of English, maths & creative activities. Your child needs to complete two activities (or as many as they like!) by the end of term which will then be celebrated in class. If there are any children who do not complete these tasks, they will be asked to do it in their final celebration time of term.
P.E
P.E is a statutory part of the curriculum and we aim to deliver two hours every week. P.E takes place on a . Please make sure P.E kit is bought in at the start of term where it may stay until the end of term.
Multiplication
At the end of Year 4, children take part in the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC). Starting from Y3, we deliver daily multiplication practise to help children prepare for this test. Below is a link to a 'mock-up' of the actual test. It would be great to practise this at home as much as often to help your child be 'Times Tables Ready'. Y3's may not know all the multiplication facts yet as we will be learning them throughout the year but any early practise will still be beneficial (and lots of children seem to really enjoy the challenge of beating their previous score as they improve!)

Snack:
Please could you ensure that your child has a small, healthy snack for snack time. They could bring in a piece of fresh or dried fruit, or vegetables (e.g. carrot sticks, cucumber etc). Please also remember that nuts are not allowed in school due to allergies. Thank you!
