Welcome to Spring Term in Year 4 and our fascinating theme, Born to Be Wild!

This spring term, Year 4 are Born to Be Wild! 
We’ll be heading off on an exciting learning adventure filled with mystery, imagination and the wonders of the natural world.

Our journey begins deep in the Amazon rainforest, where we’ll explore its different layers, discover amazing habitats, and learn about the plants and animals that call it home. We’ll further develop our amazing geographer skills as we investigate what makes this environment so special and why it needs protecting.

The adventure continues as we get lost in Gorilla City with Charlie Small, using the story to inspire powerful descriptions, exciting narratives and creative writing. Just when we think things couldn’t get any stranger, we’ll stumble upon the mysterious Jabberwocky, exploring classic poetry and playing with language, rhythm and imagination.

It’s going to be a term full of exploration, creativity and wild ideas. We can’t wait to see where the adventure takes us!

Homework

Homework will be given out on a weekly basis. This will be issued online via Google Classroom on a Friday and we ask that this is returned the following Friday. We will talk the children through how to access this work ahead of it being submitted so that they are familiar with how to return work. Further information will also be shared during the Year 4 welcome meeting in week 2. 

This homework will include a piece of either English (Including comprehensions) or Maths and at times, it may also be a theme based project.

We also ask that you continue to read at home and complete your progress in your 'Reading Logs' (please bring these into school each day). Reading both aloud to a grown up and silently to yourself are both important skills to continue practising throughout this year.

Spellings

We will focus on words taken from the Year 3/4 spelling list which you can find within the ‘Files to download’ section of this webpage.

During our English and Grammar sessions in school, we will practise these but they will also thread into our learning throughout the week.

A new word list will be set on Spelling Frame each week as part of the weekly homework,

PE

Our PE slot's will be on a Tuesday (Outdoor) and Friday (Indoor).

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.

Please log on to 'Google Classroom' for ongoing updates about class activities and homework.
