Welcome to Year 4's "Savage Settlers" summer adventure!

This summer term, prepare to set sail on an epic journey back in time as we dive into the thrilling world of the Vikings — fierce warriors, fearless explorers, and the settlers who changed Britain forever!

From longships to legends, we’ll uncover how these savage settlers invaded, traded, battled, and built new lives on British soil.

Alongside our historical quest, we’ll be diving into the action-packed novel How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell — a hilarious and exciting tale of young Viking Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III as he tries to prove himself by catching and training a dragon.

But when Hiccup meets Toothless, nothing goes quite to plan…

Get ready for a term full of daring discoveries, dragon drama, and Viking valor!

To find out more about the work your child will undertake this term please see the Summer Termly Overview document in the files to download section of this website. Here you will also find our 'Welcome back' letter and key documents relating to spelling, our calculation policy and the DFE Multiplication check.

Homework

Homework will be set via google classroom each Friday. Work will focus on either Maths, English or theme-based work and will be due the following Thursday.

Children should be encouraged to read daily both aloud and independently - this should be recorded in your child's reading record. Please also continue to prompt your child to review and practise their times tables up to 12x12. We recommend a starting point of 20 minutes per week.

Times table Rockstars is a brilliant way for your child to brush up on their skills alonside other online games such as Hit the Button - especially the Multiplication check simulator. If you need any assistance with a log in for TT Rockstars please speak to your child's class teacher.

Children will also have a weekly spelling test online at 'Spelling Frame' - they have individual logins for this and can play games based on their spelling words.

PE

Our outdoor PE slot will be Monday afternoons and indoor PE will take place on Friday afternoons.

Please ensure that your child has the correct kit in school each week. Long hair should always be tied back and earrings removed.

As the winter months approach, jogging bottoms and a warm jumper may be worn for outdoor PE. 

Key Dates

All key dates will be added to the school calendar - keep checking back for exciting updates!
