Welcome to Year 3 & Year 4
Reading book ideas:
|
Welcome to the Lower Key Stage Two hub. This is the home of Year 3 and Year 4 Classes.
Year 3 and Year 4 are often considered consolidation years, however, at Rushmere we see these years as all of the others... a chance to continue to push children to achieve more and more. In year 3 and year 4 we want to build on the successes of KS1 and continue the momentum, ensuring our children are ready for Year 5 and Year 6. I am so pleased to be leading a new year 3 and year 4 team which has lots of new arriving teachers who are buzzing with enthusiasm and full of great ideas working alongside some of my experienced teachers. If you have any queries, questions or concerns please contact your child's class teacher and if not come and find me and I will do my very best to help out. Mrs C. Steward Year 3 & 4 PHASE LEADER |

Handwriting
During Parents' Evening I had a number of enquiries about the way we are teaching handwriting in class and what the acceptable joins and letter formations were. To that end, Mr Stock has produced some information about this which can be found on the Curriculum page of the website (about half way down). If you would like to familiarise yourself with handwriting expectations, please take the time to have a read. For ease, I have included the link below:

Meet the Teacher 15.09.17
Just a reminder that this evening at 3.45pm, you are invited to meet your child's teacher so that they can share information about Year 3. This is a short informal meeting and an opportunity to see where your child is learning this year and to meet their teacher. It would be lovely to see you all there. However, if you are unable to attend, the power point presentations from the teachers will be uploaded onto the school website, to ensure that you will not have missed out on any information.

Year 4 Spellings
From the second half of the Autumn, we will be teaching your children Read, Write Inc Spellings in school several times each week. During these lessons we will be teaching the children different spelling patterns and rules. In addition, your children will have a weekly spelling test, which began in the final week of last half term, where they will be tested from the Government Year 3 / 4 prescribed spelling list and are the spellings that the children are expected to be able to spell by the end of this academic year. You may have noticed that this list has been stuck into the inside cover of the Home Spelling Book. We will endeavour to highlight this sheet with the spellings that your child gets correct in their tests so that you can see the progress they are making and also support your child to learn any that they are struggling with. Obviously if you have any questions, please speak to either myself or your child's class teacher.
Year 4 suggested reading list
During the 'Meet the teacher' sessions, I was asked to provide a suggested reading list for Year 4. Obviously I would encourage your child to read as much and as varied reading materials as possible, but if you are struggling for ideas to suggest to your child, I hope you will find suggestions on the following link useful:
Just a reminder that Christmas Parties are taking place during the afternoon of the last day of term. Children are allowed to bring party clothes, which they can change into after lunch. Teachers will be in touch soon to organise food donations.
There is also additional information available on the front page of the LKS2 area of the school's website.

We need old shoes!
Our first topic for Art in the Spring Term is 3D where the children will be making casts of shoes and then using these to design their own shoes. We would be most grateful therefore if you could send your child to school next term with an old shoe that they could use; it doesn't have to be one of their own, it could be donated from other people that you know! The only criteria is that they must be enclosed (i.e. no sandals or flip flops!) so that we can make moulds from them.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.

Year 4 Evacuation Day 15.12.17
A letter came home yesterday (28.11.17) about the evacuation day on Friday 15th December, 2017. If you have any queries about the day, please make sure you speak with your child's class teacher.
We need your junk!
A text should have been sent home today (08.12.17) to request donations of recycled materials such as cereal boxes, milk cartons etc. as we will be utilising these for an activity on our evacuation day next Friday. The children can begin bringing them in from Monday 11th December. Thank you!
Christmas Parties!
Just a reminder that Christmas Parties are taking place during the afternoon of the last day of term. Children are allowed to wear a party jumper if they wish. Teachers will be in touch soon to organise food donations.
