Whole Class Remote Learning
Prayer and Worship Resources
To ensure learning continues there is a whole class timetable for children to follow (see file list at the bottom of the class page). This will give instructions on what pages the children should complete in the workbooks that was sent home with them. To support this, there will be a daily video uploaded (near the bottom of the page) to the class web page that provides instructions on what learning the children should complete. We use Google Classroom to communicate with the children. Photos can be uploaded on here and the calendar shows the daily activities. You can also send daily pictures of your child's learning to year4@st-ambrose.manchester.sch.uk and the class teacher will reply with feedback to the learning.

Bishop John asked us all to ‘think global, act local’ and highlighted the impact that making small changes in our personal lives can have. There is a letter and some ideas for small changes that can be made in the files below. This month how we can increase Biodiversity.
Meet the Teacher
We would normally have a Meet the Teacher meeting at the start of the year. However, this year it is not possible to do this in person. The powerpoint is available to download at the bottom of the page and it has key information about Year 4 and the learning we will be doing. Once you have watched it if you have any questions please do not hesitate to come and speak to either Mr Cunningham or Mrs Murphy.
Individual Remote Learning.
If your child is self-isolating or waiting for test results, there is an indivdual timetable of remote learning in the files below to be completed. You will also find the maths lessons to be completed. Literacy will be completed on Purple Mash Serial and on the timetable there is an additional activity.
Weekly Home-learning
Numeracy and Literacy home-learning: A page of literacy and numeracy will be set on a Thursday and the children will return it by Tuesday at the latest.
Spellings: Spellings will be given on a Friday and tested on the following Friday. They will be posted on here every week as well as being written in your child's spelling book. There will be a weekly quiz set on Purple Mash. This needs to be done and will help the children to practise their spellings.
Times tables: We use Times Tables Rock Stars to help your child learn their times tables. Challenges will be set through this and regular practice is encouraged. The children have enjoyed making flashcards to help them learn the time times tables. Lots of different games can be played using flashcards and they are really easy to make. Flashcards are alos great for helping learn spellings.
Curriculum Plan for the Year
The curriculum plan that shows what Year 4 will be learning throughout the year can be found in the download files section.

In Year 4, children go swimming on a Wednesday morning at Hough End Leisure Centre. This will commence on Wednesday 16th September.
PE kits need to be kept in school during the half term. PE Kits consist of plain blue or black shorts, plan white t-shirt and pumps or trainers. (Girls must have socks with them if they wear tights.)
