Year 4
Welcome to year 4's class page
Mrs Kausar and Miss O'Keefe are delighted to welcome you and your child to Year 4. We’re looking forward to an exciting and successful term filled with learning, growth, and fun.
We are starting the term with an exciting topic: 'Ole Pendle, OlePendle', learning about the history and story of the Pendle Witch trials. The topic for English this half term will be around the story 'The Witches' by Roald Dahl. We will be writing around several different text types, using 'The Witches' as an example and as a writing stimulus.
Below, you will find our weekly timetable, which outlines the subjects and activities your child will take part in throughout the week. This will give you a clearer picture of what a typical week in Year 4 looks like.
Class Timetable
PE Swimming
In year 4, we have PE on Mondays and Wednesdays. Our PE kit, which should be kept in school at all times, consists of:
-
Black shorts or leggings
-
A plain white T-shirt
-
Black trainers
To help avoid any lost items, please make sure that all pieces of the P.E. kit are clearly labelled with your child’s name.
Homework
To support learning in school, we ask that children complete the following tasks each day:
-
Learn Weekly Spellings
Spellings will be given out every Monday, ready for a spelling test on Friday. -
Practise Times Tables
Children should practise their times tables regularly throughout the week, in preparation for a times tables test on Friday. Children should spend at least 10 minutes a day learning their timetables and should know their tables up to 12 times. Timetables provide a foundation for a range of learning in maths including written multiplication and division, fractions and time. -
Read for at Least 5 Minutes Daily
Please encourage your child to read every evening for at least 5 minutes. Don’t forget to bring your book bag and reading book to school each day.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to speak to one of us - we’re always happy to help.
