Happy New Year! We hope you all managed to have an enjoyable and restful Christmas break, they all really deserved the rest after a very busy, first long term in year 4.
Looking ahead to the spring term, it is undoubtedly going to be another busy and interesting one as we explore our new learning. For History this term, we will be learning all about the 'Ruthless Romans'.

Subordination with a comma
Good afternoon, something that came up at parents evening was the understanding of subordination with a comma. This link to a very catchy song should help you with understanding, subordinating conjunctions. I hope the video attached with my explanation is helpful too Thank you again for your support. Mrs Jacques
Recommended Reads
Following our parents' meetings this week, a few parents asked for some recommended reads. With Christmas coming up and wanting to encourage the next stage of reading, I have had a look online and these are some really good lists of books. I have seen children reading a few from this list and some are on our reading spine in school too.
These are mostly fiction so if you wanted some nonfiction options too I would recommend books about Europe, ancient Greece and modern Greece, The Romans and The rainforest. These are all areas that would link to the year 4 curriculum at Red Oaks. Children love being able to bring in a book or share learning that they have achieved at home with their friends. Atlas and maps are always really useful too.
I have attached the Year 4 learning map for the year for your information, as you may wish to explore other areas of the curriculum.

Red Oaks talent!
This term we are looking at our school moto of Aspire, Achieve, Grow. During our school values assembly we watched this video. It shows children demonstrating a talent that they have been able to accomplish through modelling Aspire, Achieve, Grow.
I am convinced we could put our own video together showing a collection of talents from our incredible children, staff and wider community.
Please send your videos to me (Mrs Jacques) deputyhead@redoaks.org.uk or send them to your class teacher on Dojo. The deadline is 6th October. This video will be posted on class Dojo and the website.
This can be a dance, trick shot, baking, training a dog, juggling ... the list is endless.
I can't wait to see all the talent! |
