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.

To link to our topic of Different Places, Similar Lives, our trip this half term is to Bett’s Park where we will be exploring the geography of our local area. This will be on Friday 1^st March 2024 and we would really appreciate some parent volunteers to help us on the day.

Please note: This trip is outside so please send your children in appropriate outdoor footwear. Children will need to wear full school uniform and if the forecast looks rainy, please do send your child with a waterproof coat on the day.

English

In English, we’ll be reading and discussing The Wind in the Willows and then the poem of The Raven. Within our writing lessons, we’ll be using a range of descriptive language and ambitious vocabulary. We’ll start by looking at the features of a diary entry before then writing our own independently. Afterwards, we’ll be exploring the elements of a news report and independently writing our own.

Maths

In Maths, we’ll be understanding and exploring types of angles. Then, we’ll be identifying features of shapes including triangles, quadrilaterals and polygons. We’ll then move on to explore how we can interpret charts and line graphs, by plotting coordinates. Finally, we will finish the term by drawing 2D shapes on a grid.

History and Geography

Our topics this half term will be Feel the Force and Let’s Plant it! These are both science topics with lots of practical investigations. We’re sure the children will love getting involved in these hands on experiments.
