Year 4 Class 1

How can I support my child at home with their learning?

At Howe Dell, we use Google Classrooms to share home learning with parents. All children have been given a username and password. Please speak to your class teacher if you are not sure how to login. 

Home learning is set weekly on a Friday on Google Classroom. Please make sure you log on every week to check what work has been set and when it is due in.  We do not usually set work during holidays.

We also expect children to be reading 5 times a week or more and this includes both scheme and free readers.

HOW TO ACCESS GOOGLE CLASSROOM

> On a PC (laptop/desktop computer):

To login to the Google Classroom, pupils need to visit classroom.google.com and log in using the details their teacher has provided for them.

> On a mobile device (tablet/smartphone):

Google Classroom is best accessed through the dedicated Google Classroom app which is available on the App Store.

Music Concert at St Etheldredas Church, Hatfield

We visited St Etheldreda's Church as part of the Hatfield House Chamber Music Festival. We watched a performance from the Bechstein Trio, who played the cello, violin and piano.

 The concert was of three pieces of music, including a Russian waltz. Between the pieces they explored how music is counted in bars, usually containing 3 or 4 beats, and how music is often played as a 'conversation' between instruments, where different musical motifs are passed between them. They also got the chance to respond to the music by thinking about how it made them feel or what it reminded them off.
