Week Two (week beginning 11/01/2021)
Hello Year 4! I hope that you have had a relaxing weekend and you’ve been practising your spellings from last week.
Don’t forget to complete your daily I Am Learning tasks and make sure you’re practising times tables on TTRockstars after you’ve completed the Oak Academy lessons. Also, make time to log in to Reading Eggs to complete the lessons on there.
You can also take part in music with Mr Shepherd here.
All the teachers in Year 4 will be checking their I Am Learning inbox daily, so message us if you need any help. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
