Welcome to Year 4 and our fascinating Spring theme...
"BORN TO BE WILD!"
This term we will be exploring the beautiful, green mysteries of the rainforest! We will delve into understanding the rich biodiversity, unique ecosystems and the importance of conserving these vital habitats.
From discovering the diverse flora and fauna to learning more about the delicate balance within this vibrant ecosystem, Year 4 are about to embark on a journey that will cultivate their appreciation for the wonder of the rainforest and the importance of it's preservation.
Adventure is out there Year 4!
To find out more about the work your child will undertake this term please see the Spring Term Overview document in the files to download section of this website. Here you will also find our 'Spring Term' letter and key documents relating to spelling, our calculation policy and the DFE Multiplication check.
Homework
Homework will continue to 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. If you need any assistance with a log in for TT Rockstars please speak to your child's class teacher.
Children all have their own log in for Spelling Frame and a weekly spelling rule and test will be set. Children can also practise common exception words at Spooky Spellings as well.
PE
Our indoor PE slot will be Tuesday afternoons and outdoor PE will take place on Wednesday 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!
