Welcome to Y4 class page!
Welcome to Y4!
We hope you had a good holiday and are ready for the next half term!
Year 4 teachers this year are Ms Lennox-Douglass (Monday - Wednesday) and Mrs Jordan (Wednesday - Friday). Our Teaching Assistant is Mrs Hanan (full time, supply)
Important information:
P.E
Our PE lessons this term will be on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. Children are expected to wear their PE kit to school on those days. They should wear a white T-shirt and black tracksuit bottoms, leggings or shorts, with their school jumper or cardigan.
Please ensure your child brings a spare pair of shoes for PE, these can be either white sole trainers or PE plimsolls. Please do not send your child to school wearing these; they need to be brought in a carrier bag to change in the sports hall.
Homework
Homework will be given out on Fridays. Please make sure that the yellow Homework book is at school on that day. As well as a piece of English or Maths work, there will also be a Homework Menu - a list of projects relating to other areas of learning. Pupils may want to complete these at any time during the term - they can do as many as they like, but at least two each half term.
The completed homework needs to be returned to the teacher by Wednesday.
A list of weekly spellings will be given out every Friday and your child will be tested on these spellings the following Wednesday.
When learning spellings, ask children to read the word, cover it, write it and check. Then they should practise the ones they spelt incorrectly. Once they finish that, they should demonstrate that the understand the meaning of the word by using it in a sentence. This can be oral or written.
A weekly times tables test will be on Fridays.
As always, we would appreciate your support in practising reading, spelling and times tables knowledge at home.
Reading
We will be changing reading books on Fridays. In Year 4 we do not send reading records home but do let us know if your child's Collins Reading books need changing.
Knowledge Organisers (KO)
When there is a new topic, you can access the knowledge organiser (KO) on this page . This will have the key vocabulary and a summary of the knowledge to discuss with your child at home.
Other Reminders
Please ensure the children have their water bottle in school.
There is no free fruit in KS2 so please bring a healthy snack from home.
Pupils should all have logins for the following:
