Welcome

In Year 4  we are encouraged to continue to develop independence and take initiative to help our own learning. We value the presentation of our work and take pride in everything we do. In our class we aim to be the best friend we can be and always try to help and coach our team around us. As a result, our classroom is a fantastic community in which we have lots of laughter and lots of inquisitive minds!

Curriculum

At the beginning of the academic year, we began with a whole-school theme of Enterprise: Year 4 designed a fantastic stall to sell our home baked bread and sold all of our products to happy customers. During the Autumn term, we will be learning about life in Ancient Egypt, Judaism and the importance of the Ten Commandments and how sound is heard and made. In Spring, we will be looking at Invaders across history, focusing on the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. In the Summer term, we will be discovering how electricity changed the world. Throughout the year, children will be receiving a whole class Thrive session to develop their understanding of social and emotional development and how the brain works. 

Homework

We set homework each Friday to be completed by the following Friday.

This will be set on Google classroom and will include:

• TTRS - We strongly recommend that children also practise Timestables Rock Stars – as regularly as possible please.
• Reading to an adult (please log reading on GoRead) and Reading Plus
• Spellings, which will be posted on the Google classroom for children to practise.  They will be set on Friday and tested the following Friday.

Reading

In school we have daily Guided Reading sessions while enjoying a class book. We also have two Reading Plus sessions and two sessions focusing on reading for pleasure. The library is visited one a fortnight. 

PE Days

Our PE days are Tuesday and Wednesday.
