Year 4 (Classes 8 & 9) Home Learning Week 1

6th January 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 4 staff would like to thank all parents for their patience regarding arranging home learning for all children. On Wednesday 6th January 2021 you should receive a home learning paper pack delivered to your door for your child. This contains a timetable of activities, and worksheets and support materials you may need.

All home learning tasks have also been assigned on your child’s Seesaw. Year 4 staff encourage all children to use their Seesaw wherever possible to read the tasks as there may be internet links and videos to support their home learning. You can also upload photos of your work for your teachers to see your progress.

Seesaw is accessible on smart phones via the ‘Seesaw Class’ app or using an internet browser on laptops and computers at seesaw.me. However, all tasks can be completed on the paper workbooks provided and do not need to be completed on Seesaw unless the children wish to do this. Teachers will also give feedback to tasks where possible through the Seesaw.

Please find below a list of resources and tasks for Year 4 for home learning during the period 6th – 8th January 2021. A new post will go live next week with next week’s activities and resources.

School Closures January 2021

5th January 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

   
Dear West Boldon Children and Families,

It was so lovely to see you after the Christmas holidays even though it was much more short lived than we would have liked.

We will miss you not being in school, however myself and your teachers will still be here helping you with your learning. Remember this is not a holiday, you are just learning from home!

So for this half term things will be a little different. Let me explain to you what will happen:

Each week, you will receive a paper pack of work delivered to your house. The first packs will be delivered tomorrow for this week’s learning and then at the beginning of each week thereafter.

On Seesaw/Dojo/School website there will be weekly timetable for your year group sent to you by your teachers. (This works out at around 20 hours work a week) This will have links to click on that will take you straight to the piece of work or a helpful video sourced through White Rose Maths and Oak National Academy. The planning also has instructions about what the activity involves and where to complete your work which might be on paper, in an activity booklet or an exercise book.

If you are stuck and want some help from your teacher or you want to show them an awesome piece of work, then you can use Seesaw to send them a picture and ask for help and they will be able to comment.

Your teachers will also be doing a Zoom call on a Wednesday and Friday afternoon at 2pm (teachers will send parents a link for this) if your parents and carers want to talk to teachers about your work then they can do that at these zoom meetings, you can be there too but you must have an adult with you.

We have tried to keep the learning as fun as possible so work hard, enjoy and do your best!

From Mrs Garr and all the staff

Je voudrais…

17th December 2020Miss K. Wilkinson

In French this Autumn we have been learning about breakfast and fruit nouns. We spent our earlier lessons learning about the French words for fruit, vegetables and the items we have at breakfast. We then moved onto learning about how to ask for an item politely.

The children practiced saying ‘Je voudrais (item) sil vous plait’ and ‘merci’ when they received the item. We then played a game to practice saying to words and asking for items. The children each had an item and swapped them politely.

PE in Year 4

17th December 2020Miss K. Wilkinson
Year 4 have had great weekly lessons with Tony this year. We have covered some hockey, football skills and athletics. The children have tried extremely hard to work together and to learn to win and lose with grace.
We have some great athletes in Year 4 and everyone has improved this year. They always put in 100%.

The Giving Project Update 17th Dec 2020

17th December 2020Miss K. Wilkinson

‘TO GIVE, TO HELP, TO BE KIND AND CREATE HAPPINESS’

This week, being the final week of term, the 2020 Giving Project came to a close. Here is what we have been up to…

The Reception children, aged of 4 and 5 years old, had their beautiful Christmas cards delivered to the residents of the Meadows Care Home. Mrs Kelly, our Midday Supervisor, kindly donated her time to supervise the children while they made them.

The food bank also received a fresh new batch of festive cupcakes made by the children in year 5, along with donations of food from staff members. All were greatly appreciated.

At this time of the year we would also usually be welcoming our parents into school to watch our Christmas performances. Unfortunately, as this isn’t currently possible, children have learned and performed a Christmas song in their bubbles.

Watch the video on our Facebook page:

Mrs Garr, Mr McCormack and Mrs Anderson were also out and about around Boldon today delivering the Christmas hampers that have been created from the very generous ‘Just Giving’ donations we have received. Overall we raised on £440 of a £250 target!

The people who received the gifts were so happy and it brought some well needed Christmas cheer to a lot of people.

St Nicholas Church also kindly created a little prayer card to be added to these special deliveries.


Finally, all of the children were given a special Christmas gift today from all of the staff in school, here are some of the children wearing their gifted Santa hats with pride!
