This week in Suffolk
Week beginning Monday 22nd May 2023.
Last week of term 5, it has flown by this term with lots of sunny spells. The children have again enjoyed their swimming and rounders in PE. The children have come so far with their rounders, particularly Ewan who is officially the biggest hitter of Suffolk class this term! The children have been learning about angles this week and the difference between obtuse, acute and right angles. Finally, we have moved onto a different civilisation, the Ancient Egyptian civilisation which the children are fascinated about. A lot of discussion about cats, pyramids and their way of life.
What our usual day looks like.

The Year 4 Team
Online Safety Activity
NSPCC online safety and mental health awareness –
recommended parent and child activity for half term.
Although we typically don’t set home learning over half term (apart from continuing to read and to practise tables/bonds), we are keen to share an invaluable resource to support you as parents to help your child’s mental health and online safety awareness.
NSPCC have recently launched their ‘Positively Online Campaign’, with content supporting parents to help their children navigate the online world. It includes six top tips, two videos and a great quiz that families can take together.
The idea is to get parents talking to their children about their online wellbeing and what we can all do to feel more positive when using the internet. Class teachers will follow up on this during class online safety and PSHE lessons in Term 6.

Reading
Children in Year 4 should be reading for at least 20 minutes a day.
Parents please log your child's reading on the BOOM Reader Parent Portal or by using the BOOM reader parent app on your tablet/ mobile.

Children should bring their Accelerated Reader reading book and bookmark to and from school and home each day. Pupils are asked to change their book when it is finished using the guidance and support provided by the teaching team in each class.
