• If your child is working at the top level in Year 4 - please look out for the challenges on this page.
• If you know your child is working below the Year 4 level - Please make use of the 'extra resources for Literacy/Mathematics' at the bottom of this page/other appropriate class pages to support your child's learning. 
• If your child has additional needs, please access the SEND page of the school website for useful resources.

Please try to complete a manageable amount of activities each week, ensuring your child's learning continues.

Reading:

The most important thing that you can do whilst school is closed is lots and lots of reading! Where possible, we have been issuing additional reading books for the children to take home. The website below (oxford owls) gives you free access to a wide range of e-books and audio books too. Also, if you take advantage of the free trial of the Audible app, you can download an audio book for free.

This term, children across school will be directed to the same resource so that siblings can reflect and respond to the same RE activity at their own level. There will be a picture to consider, alongside some questions and activities. Below are the picture and activities for this week and some useful links.
