Hello from Miss Elliott! Welcome back to 3/4E!

 

I hope you have had an exciting half-term holiday.

I am looking forward to our upcoming adventure with our class book.

 “Running on the Roof of the World” by Jess Butterworth.

"There are two words that are banned in Tibet. Two words that can get you locked in prison without a second thought. I watch the soldiers tramping away and call the words after them. 'Dalai Lama.'"

Tash has to follow many rules to survive in Tibet, a country occupied by Chinese soldiers. But when a man sets himself on fire in protest and soldiers seize Tash's parents, she and her best friend Sam must break the rules. They are determined to escape Tibet - and seek the help of the Dalai Lama himself in India. And so, with a backpack of Tash's father's mysterious papers and two trusty yaks by their side, their extraordinary journey across the mountains begins.

                     Have a look at our Summer Curriculum Map below to see what                                         else we are covering this term.

How can I help my child at home?

Your child needs to be reading at least 5 times a week (I have prizes!)

Make sure your child is completing their written spelling and online Times Tables Rockstars homework (20 minutes at least - I have prizes for this too!)

Children in Year 4 should start to complete as much extra times table practice in preparation for their MTC THIS TERM! (We are going to ace it!)

 

.   *Remember*

To complete your homework, read five times every week, arrive in the correct PE Kit, 20 minutes TTRS and have an attendance of 96% or above to be our ‘In It To Win It’!
