Welcome to Year 4! Your class teachers are Mrs Underwood and Miss Oliveira.
In 4U, our PE days are Tuesday and Friday. In 4O, our PE days are Wednesday and Friday. We do ask that children keep their PE kits at school during term time and take them home for a wash at the end of each half term.
Homework books will go home every Friday and we ask that every child selects one piece to complete from the menu each week. Please return the homework books by Wednesday so that your class teacher has time to see the amazing homework that has been completed before the books get sent home again on the following Friday.
Times table tests will happen every Wednesday. We will be sitting our MTC this summer so please do practice your times tables often. We really recommend playing on Times Table Rockstars as this is the most similar format to the MTC.
Spellings will now be self-assessed by the children as they use the words in their writing. There will be home learning tasks sent home twice a half term. These tasks are aimed to help children understand the meaning and context of the new vocabulary they are learning.
English
In English, we’ll be reading ‘Young, Gifted and Black’ and learning about numerous influential people from history and present day. We’ll be learning to focus on the structure, vocabulary and grammar used in a range of genres within our writing. We will also be understanding the elements of and writing a diary entry before exploring the features of poetry and creating our own poems.
Maths
In Maths, we will be starting the year by exploring at Place Value up to 10,000. We’ll then use this knowledge to compare numbers of different value, and complete addition and subtraction questions. Every child will develop their fluency, reasoning language and problem-solving skills within each Maths lesson.
History and Geography
Within our ‘Making Waves’ Science topic we’ll be identifying how sounds are made, recognising how sound is affected by distance and exploring how light moves and if we can change its direction. We’ll be planning and undergoing investigations to fully explore this topic.
Science
We are starting our year by looking at how we learn and how we can overcome obstacles in our topic ‘Brainwave’. This topic encourages our students to use their Personal Goals of collaboration and resilience.
