Another fantastic week!

We have had another fantastic week in year 4. We are so proud of how well the children are demonstrating our new behaviour curriculum. Well done to all children in year 4 for being positive role models to everybody within the school!

 

Just a reminder that our PE days are Monday and Thursday. Please send your child to school in PE kit on both of these days.

 

Many thanks,

The Year 4 team 🙂

Welcome back year 4!

What a brilliant start to the year we have had! 

This week, Year 4 have had an amazing attitude towards their learning and have settled well into their new classes.

We have had fantastic teamwork, lots of great discussions and can clearly see our new behaviour curriculum already being implemented by the children.

A huge well done to Year 4! 🙂

We hope everybody has a great weekend!

Homework information – September 2024

Welcome to Year 4!

Here is some information about Year 4 Homework expectations. Please read the below.

Each week, spelling and maths homework will be set.

Spelling homework will be sent home on Friday stuck in the reading record.

Please ensure that your child copies out their spellings each night and practises for the following Friday before we have our spelling test.

Maths homework is set via MyMaths.

This happens every Friday and should be completed by the following Friday.

Read with your child as much as possible at home.

Please read with and question your children on what they are reading. Please record this in their reading record. They should also be encouraged to record their own reading, page numbers and comments.

National Year 4 Times Tables Speed Check preparation is important.

In June, the children will sit the National Times Tables Speed Check. Each child has their own Times Tables Rockstars login so please encourage them to practise their times tables on this. It would be very beneficial to your child’s preparation if they practised weekly on this.

Thank you,

Mrs Richards, Mrs Williams and Miss Gilmour

Year 3 and 4 Sports’ Day

Despite the gathering clouds, the drizzling rain and umbrellas going up all around, the year 3 and 4 sports’ day went ahead with enormous success: so much so that by the end, the rain had disappeared.

The children gave their all to the field and track events and there was great success, achievement and fun all around. We definitely have some future archers and javelin throwers in our midst.

Thank you so much to everyone who came along and supported the children, even in the not-so glorious summer weather.

PE – Thursday 20th photo day

Just a reminder to parents to please send your children into school in their school uniform on photo day.

Children can bring their PE kit in a bag in order to have any sports team photos taken.

Base 11 will have PE in the afternoon this week.

Earth Day 2024

On Monday, Year 4 celebrated Earth Day! Our focus this year was on ‘Planet vs Plastic’. We explored the positives, and negatives, of plastic use and had fantastic discussions linked to our Science topic on how plastic can impact living things. We created a poster on how we can be more sustainable in school and discussed ways, as individuals, we can help the environment.

We discussed the importance of recycling and how plastic can be reused. We then created plant pots out of plastic bottles to reuse plastic for a purpose that creates life. Our cress has already began to grow in class!

Forest School

This week, Year 4 had their first forest school session focusing on our new topic in Art ‘painting’. The children were introduced to the artist Lucy Arnold and her artwork based on nature. Their task was to explore the forest area and find facts about Lucy which they recorded in their sketchbooks.
