Also, they will have times tables and spelling practice to complete. All tasks will be posted on Class Dojo and sent home via paper copies so that you do not miss them. Homework will be set on a Friday and be expected to be returned the following Wednesday.
KNOWEDGE ORGANISERS
Please find the knowledge organiser attached for Year 4 . It outlines what the children will be learning in class. It will also give you some helpful pieces of information to support your home learning/home work.
MEDICATION
If your child needs prescribed medication we will require parental consent via email to the office. Contact school in advance of the start date to request the paperwork which can be emailed directly to you or made available for you to pick up. We will only be able to administer the medication upon receiving this completed information. Please provide the medication in the original box that has the child’s name and date of birth printed at the pharmacy.
ILLNESS ·
If your child is unwell, please keep them at home and seek a test if they are showing COVID 19 symptoms. Children will need to remain at home until they are well. If a child requires regular paracetamol, they must remain at home. · If your child becomes unwell in school, we will contact you straight away and ask you to collect your child within the hour.
BEHAVIOUR POLICY
Our school values will continue to form the basis of our expectations, teaching and new routines. 'Be supported, feel supported' · Safety and sensitivity to the needs of others · Understanding · Pride · Patience · Ownership · Respect · Trust · Enjoyment · Determination If a child chooses not to follow the expectation of being safe, e.g. hygiene routines, it may be necessary to speak to parents.
CONTACTING SCHOOL
Parents/carers will not be able to access the school building. If you need to get in touch, please ring or email the school office. Ensure your child is equipped with all that is needed for the school day. If there is a forgotten item e.g. lunchbox, water bottle it will have to remain at home. We are trying to reduce footfall as much as physically possible and this includes staff outside of bubbles. Please do not be offended if you arrive at school later with said items – we suggest you phone first to see if there is the need or for alternative arrangements to be made.
