First News children's newspaper

During Lockdown First News are letting us have free access to their weekly newspaper. This is a weekly newspaper aimed at 7 to 14-year-olds that aims to get kids talking about the news in an easy to understand and non-threatening way.

It cover issues which are relevant to children and which specifically affect them. Inside you’ll find a mix of world news and UK news, but also loads of fun stuff, such as entertainment, games, animals, sport and puzzles.


Reading at home

I have attached some useful links with great free resources to encouarge reading at home during the lockdown. 

Please see : 7 top tips to support reading in KS2; reading home links; and also look at www.borrowbox.com to access free e-books and audio books from your local library.

Year 4 Home Learnng for w/c 4th January 2021

Happy New Year to you all!  Please find below the Home Learning grid for this week with activities for Year 4 to complete.  You will hopefully have received my message via SchoolPing, in which I asked for children to write a brief recount about their Christmas activities.  Please upload these to Seesaw or send via email to the office, and we can share them in one or two of our Zoom sessions this week.    Please note that it is not necessary to complete all of the activities - I have tried to select a variety of tasks so that the children can choose which ones they would like to do.


Outdoor Learning Activities

Please find attached a grid containing some outdoor learning activities that your child can do at home.  There are activities for children in early years, ages 5 to 9 and 9 to 12.  You and your child can of course choose an activity from any section. I will add a new grid each week.  Any photos or work can be uploaded on to seesaw and sent to your class teacher.  I hope that you enjoy these activities and look forward to hearing all about them.  

Take care
