Year 4 2025 - 2026
Miss Hurst
Mrs Hough
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!

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.
