Hello
What a second week! Firstly, thank to all of you that completed the OfSTED parent voice to share your views of our school.
In school, your children really shone and showed their Rufford Park Primary L.E.A.R.N.E.R skills so well. They dealt with our extra visitors interrupting their lessons in class, following them through the corridors, asking them questions on the spot and even corrected the inspectors if they got something wrong! Thank you children.
You should have received your electronic and paper copy Year 4 swimming letter yesterday as we are due to attend from next week. If you need a further copy, please contact the school office as soon as possible because we have to pass the information onto the leisure centre prior to arriving first thing on Wednesday. Thank you.
In English, we have continued to recap skills we have developed in KS1 and next week we will be building on these skills as we start our first part of LKS2 descriptive writing. In Maths, we are continuing our focus on place value of 4-digit numbers. In Science, we have been identifying and classifying animals. In class we have also started our increased focus on quick recall of our times tables as the DfE have confirmed all Year 4 children will be undertaking the government's statutory Multiplication Timestable Check in May/June 2027.
Enjoy your weekend and we look forward to seeing you all next week.
Mr Dring and Miss Maher
