Message from the Year 4 team:
Welcome to the Autumn Term 2024 in Year 4.
The Christian Value for this half term is 'Generosity'. We will be exploring the different ways we can apply this value in our lives. You may like to talk to your children about this value and what it means to you.
Our Topic this term is about The Anglo Saxons. We will be focusing on History/Geography.
The children have discussed the most important class rules we need to follow to make sure each one of us can learn and thrive in a happy and safe environment. We are looking forward to a wonderful term working with your children.
Our weekly timetable: we aim to follow this as closely as possible but it may change due to special events or the children's interests.
PE is timetabled for Monday and Thursday
Rowan class do PE on a Monday and Thursday .
On these days you will need to come to school in your PE kit...
A white t-shirt, blue shorts and trainers.
When it is cold you can wear a black or navy tracksuit top and trousers.
If your child wears earrings and can't remove them independently, it is best they are left at home on PE days as they will need to be removed before the lesson.
Swimming lessons take place in the summer term. Further information will be sent out nearer the time.
Year 4 homework consists of regular reading, weekly spellings and weekly times tables practice. These will be uploaded on here each week.
We will also have a topic related project that the children can work on at home over several weeks.
Autumn Term Creative Homework Projects -
Weekly Times Tables Homework:
In the Summer Term we take part in the 'optional' Year 4 Times tables check.
The children should use 'Times tables Rock Stars' to practise tables at home. This will be set each week for the table they need to practise. We recommend a minimum of 3 practice sessions at home every week.
They can also use alternative online games and there are links at the bottom of this page.
If they want to practise writing tables out they can.
Times tables will be tested every Wednesday morning.
Next week's tables are :
Big Group: all x tables mixed
Small Group: x2, 5, 10 mixed
Weekly spelling and timestables homework:
Homework should be completed and returned to school the following Thursday (or Friday) morning.
Spellings will be tested on Friday morning .
