PE – Dance with Cheryl (Wednesday)

Swimming with Mr Turner (Monday morning)

We will be walking to Bold on Comp for swimming so children will need coats etc, especially in the colder months.

Children must have the appropriate PE kit in school which consists of:

On P.E. Days, children will need to wear the correct P.E. kit:

Reading is extremely important and we ask that you aim to read with your child at least 3 times per week (and sign their reading diaries). As part of our new reading initiative this year, children who have read to an adult 3 times in a week will receive a sticker or stamp on their own personal reading bookmark. Once they fill their bookmark, they will receive a special reward!

Homework in Year 4 consists of reading and weekly spellings. Spellings will be given out once per week and tested on a Friday morning. Year 4 will also be given an optional Times Table worksheet to complete and will be rewarded with Dojo points. Year 4 have the Times Table check at the end of the year, so it is important that they are practicing at home. The children can also use Spelling shed, TTRS and Maths shed at home.

Here is a link to parental guidance on the Time Tables Check:

Literacy–The Legend of Pod-Kin One Ear by Kieran Larwood

Maths– Decimals, Money and Time

Learning means the world–Viking Warrior- A story of Ragnor Lothbrok

French– The face and body parts, Jungle animals.

RE– How and why do people show care for others?

PE– Dance and Swimming

 

Please see our Curriculum pages for each year group’s long term planning.

This year we will be using Class Dojo school-wide as a means of maintaining parent communication and as our whole-school rewards system. I will be posting regular updates to our Class Story throughout the year as well as reminders for parents and pupils.

If you need an invite to join our classroom as a Parent/Guardian please let me know.

See you all in school!
