Welcome to Year 4

This half term our science theme is 'The Digestive System and Teeth': we'll be exploring what happens to the food that we eat.  In our Geography lessons, we'll be comparing Greece to the UK and linking htis to our writing as we look in detail at the capital city of Athens.

We'll also be exploring 'A World of Food' written by Carl Warner.

The School Day

Soft opening 8:40-8:50 and the school day ends at 3:20.  

Reading 

Please encourage your child to read at home with an adult at least three times per week. Reading diaries will be monitored weekly. 

Music 

Children will need to bring their brass instruments into school on a Monday. 

PE 

Friday is our PE day this half term - we'll be practising our dance skills and linking this to the Olympics. 

Homework 

Your child will receive  two pieces of paper-based homework each week (Spellings & Maths). This will be sent out on a Wednesday to be returned on Monday. Please don't leave it until Sunday night to complete these tasks - the earlier your child looks at it, the more relaxed a process it becomes!

Children are expected to complete:

3 x assignments on Spelling Shed (or IDL if appropriate)

3 x 5 minutes times tables practice on TT Rockstars.

Equipment 

Pupils need to bring in a water bottle, a snack (and packed lunch, if desired) each day. All children will be provided with their own school equipment so there is no need to send in pencil cases etc.
