Gloucestershire

A typical week for Gloucestershire

Week beginning 25.9.23

A very busy week this week, the children have been enjoying an array of activities in English from role play, to research and creating their own informative text about either Astrology, Constellations or The Milky Way. In Geography, we have started learning about different climates in the tropics and around the world which mirrors our learning about ecosystems and food chains within Science. The children have learnt about different ecosystems including grasslands, tundra, the desert and the ocean, within the ecosystems they have been learning about what animals live their and what they need to survive, including what food they eat and how they fit into the food chain. Finally, in PE we have started hockey which has been so much fun, especially when the teachers get involved!

Home learning

Boom Reader

Children in year 4 should be reading every night for about 20 minutes. Please record on Boom Reader at least once a week.

Please note: pupil login details have changed slightly due to an upgrade that has taken place on the Accelerated Reader platform. Pupil login details (user name and password) should now be enter in all lower case (no capital letters at all). These login details are used each time your child quizzes a school reading book which carries an accelerated reading quiz code.
