Welcome to year 4's class page

Mrs Kausar and Ms Howarth are delighted to welcome you and your child back to Year 4. We’re looking forward to an exciting and successful year filled with learning, growth, and fun.

We are starting the term with an exciting topic: 'Medicine through the ages', learning about 'The Great plague (1665)'. This topic captures the children’s imagination right from the start! In English, we will be reading a piece of gothic literature – Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

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.

Swimming

This half-term we will be going to Pendle Leisure Centre for swimming.  Everything that you need to know about swimming can be found in the PowerPoint at the bottom of the page.

 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.
