Welcome to Year 4

Autumn Term 2

Year 4 team: Miss Doyle, Mrs Jones and Mrs Minghella

Welcome back to our Year 4 class page! We hope you have had a well rested break and are ready for another exciting term!

This term we will have lots of fun and we will grow together as a team! 

Our Curriculum:

In English our new text ‘Leon and the Place Between’ will take the children on an amazing, magical journey. Using our imagination and creativity like never before! 

In Maths, we will be exploring and problem solving with addition and subtraction. We will then move on to multiplying and dividing by 6,7,9,11 and 12. You can practise your times tables at home on Timetables Rockstar!

In the Wider curriculum, we will be taking a step back into the past to learn all about The Maya in History. In Science, we will be learning all about Human Nutrition. On Monday and Tuesday afternoons and a Friday morning we will have PE. 

Finally, we will be practising our Christmas play! There will be lots of singing practice in the classroom and practising our script. Our performance will be the last week of term!:)

Parents:

PE:

PE is every Monday and Tuesday afternoon and a Friday morning. The children will need to come in their PE kits these days.

Homework:

Homework tasks will be linked to our learning in school. It should take your child about 20 minutes and it should be able to be completed independently or with some adult support. 

Homework will be set on a Friday and is due the following Wednesday.

Reading:

We love reading in Year 4. Children become better readers by practising reading as much as possible. We would encourage children to read with an adult or to be read to at home every day for 10 minutes. Children will bring home a levelled reading book that they can read with you. The children can also take a library book of their choice to read at home or in school. This is to encourage reading for pleasure and to help the children explore their reading!

Times Tables:

Being able to recall times tables quickly and accurately helps children to succeed in all of our Maths lessons. Please help your child at home to practise times tables as much as they can. Questions, chanting and Times Tables Rockstars are all good ways to learn.
