Year 4 2020 - 2021

Welcome to Year 4

Hello to all of our new Year 4 children!

Everyone is settling in wonderfully and Mrs Holmes and Mrs Mowatt are so excited for the year ahead. Read on to find out more about what we have planned and keep an eye out for letters home that will keep you updated on anything that you need to know! 

This term our class topic is ANCIENT GREECE.

In the morning, we will have English and Maths and Guided Reading. Class assemblies will also take place in the classroom. In the afternoon, we will be focusing on our topic, science, computing and PE. Every Friday morning, year 4 will have Spanish and Art which will be taught by specialists. The week will finish with ukelele lessons! We will be assisted by Mrs Taylor and Mrs Rustage.

PE will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays and children are asked to wear PE kit to school on these days. No PE kit is to be kept in school. 

In Year 4, we love reading! We will begin the year by ensuring that each child is still in the habit of reading at home at least three times a week.  We know that life can get busy but your child will really benefit from regular time reading with an adult at home.  The class teachers check reading diaries every Monday…and there are prizes! 

We will be focusing on times tables in preperation for the new multiplication check next year and will be using Time Tables Rock Stars to support this in class and at home. This works best if it is played regulaly for a few minutes at a time! Please let us know if you are struggling to access this.
