Dear Parents and Carers,
We are delighted to provide you with a new Year 4 Learning Challenge for the first half of the Summer Term, based on our topic ‘Who are our European Neighbours?’
This new learning challenge works the same way as the last one, with children choosing which of the activities they would like to complete, but it is more project based and will compliment learning in class.
Although the Learning Challenge is entirely optional, and is in addition to the daily expectation of 15 minutes reading, 15 minutes times tables rehearsal and 15 minutes spelling practice, we have found that a large proportion of children have voluntarily taken up the challenges in the past and have gained a great deal from it. We would therefore greatly appreciate your encouragement to participate. The children will receive a special Learning Challenge certificate at the end of the half term on completion of a project that shows a significant level of effort and challenge undertaken.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support, and look forward to working with you this academic year.
Yours faithfully,
Miss Spinks
