Lets read the news...
Another Earthquake in Iran
It might be a good idea to read this news report about yet another earthquake in Iran just today. One eyewitness report tells of the tremors felt in Doha, Qatar but we didn't feel them in Al Khor!

Tuesday, 9 April 2013
Practise your parts of speech!
A really cool game to practise and reinforce your knowledge of parts of speech - nouns; verbs; adjectives; adverbs etc etc.
Earthquake in Iran today!
Quite scary - I was teaching my year 5 class in Milan, Italy last year when our classroom shook as a result of an earthquake over 150kms away. Today there has been an earthquake in Iran and news reports say that 'aftershocks' were felt in Qatar.
Newspaper Report on Iran Earthquake
We are going to be learning about Earthquakes and Volcanoes in topic in term 3 as well as Journalistic writing in Literacy - might be a good idea to read this news report!

Homework- Term 3
Let's get ready for Term 3 - your final term in Year 4 - in 12 weeks time you will be in your last week downstairs in Year 4 and very soon will move to the first floor to Year 5 - that is so scary not just for you but for me as well because it only seems a very short time ago when you were just coming into Year 4!
HOMEWORK
Sunday - spellings - you have to learn your spellings in preparation for your dictation on the following Sunday. You also have to write a sentence for each word on the back of your Look, Cover, Write, Check sheet. For those of you on RWi spellings (Mrs Yoosuf's group) you have to do your spelling work in your booklet and learn your key words for your test on a Sunday.
Monday - Maths - you topics for Mathletics will be re-set and you will receive your written maths homework which is linked to your learning this week. Remember you have to achieve a minimum of 1000 points on Live Mathletics.
Tuesday - Comprehension - you will get your comprehension in class to complete at home.
Wednesday - Science or Topic - It really depends on what we are learning about!
Homework this term needs to be handed in on time and completed therefore I will be looking at Golden Time at the end of the school year. You will earn 1 minute for each piece of homework completed and handed in on time. By the end of the term you could have almost 50 minutes of Golden Time - if you do not hand it in - oh dear no Golden Time!
Lets get reading!
Dear Year 4P Parents,
