Merry Christmas wonderful Swifts! What a term we've had!
We are so proud of all of your hard work and can't wait to see what the Spring Term will bring.
Thank you all for your wonderful cards and gifts, we are feeling very loved. Have a wonderful break with your families. Make sure you rest, play and get outside - fingers crossed for snow!
Much love, Team Swift x

Notices
Pencil Cases to be checked and topped up.
You need: a writing pen (not friction pens), a pencil, a sharpener, a ruler, a red pen and a small selection of colouring pencils. There are also 30cm rulers and glue in the classroom for all children to use.
Home Learning
English: Keep up your reading over the holidays. Make sure you record all your completed books in the new style following the example in your Reading Records and mix up those genres!
Spelling: We will be having a big push on spelling in the Spring Term so maybe pop on to Spelling Shed and revisit some of the Year 4 curriculum in preparation.
Maths: White Rose 1 Minute Maths should keep your mental agility sharp over the holidays. Remember we are kicking off with multiplication and division so get practising those written methods!

In class we are reading 'Ingo' by Helen Dunmore.
Ask your child: How does the author create a sense of mystery around Sapphire’s father’s disappearance?

Big shout out to Alex who took some excellent action shots!
