Welcome back to school for the Summer Term; we hope the children are well and are looking forward to the learning ahead.
The Summer term is always a busy time for children in Year 4 with lots of new learning taking place as well as consolidating previously learnt skills. English and Mathematics will continue to be taught daily and focus on key writing skills and mathematical calculations including fractions. Times tables remain a main priority right up to 12x12, and we appreciate your help in practising these at home. We will continue with Rockstar challenges in class, and at home, and our very popular ‘Superheroes’ work. We are also practising regularly for the Year 4 Statutory Multiplication Check which is in a ten-day window at the start of June. We ask that all children practise regularly at home and school, to help with this.
Please remember the pack we have shared with your child to practise their times table skills for 5 minutes each day of the holidays, to reach that 25/25 in June.

In our Science lessons, we will be exploring ‘Animals including Humans, exploring the concepts of food chains and webs and looking at how animals eat.

For more information about our learning this term see the Curriculum Overview.
​
​​Please continue to send your child with a named water bottle, that they can refill and use in school. We ask that it is plastic rather than metal please, as these can be heavy. We will continue with morning toast up until close of register and should you wish, children can continue bring a piece of fruit to school for their morning snack.​
Thematic
Our Thematic topics are a Geography topic entitled “Three Giant Steps” and then “Cry Freedom”, looking at the History of Civil rights. Our visitors join us for the Rainforest Workshop on Wednesday 30th April – thanks to those who have already paid.
Year 4 PE sessions are Wednesdays and Fridays.
Please can we remind parents that no jewellery should be worn in school with the exception of stud earrings, and in line with Health and Safety guidelines these should not be worn on PE days. Children will be asked to remove earrings before PE sessions. We ask please, that all PE kit and uniform is named so that we can return any mislaid items easily to you.
This term the children will continue learning athletic skills ready for Sports Days!
Children in Year 4 receive regular homework: purple creative homework books will continue and phonic spellings will be given out and tested on the following week. Reading books will need to be brought to school each day please, and taken home each night. Comprehension focus for the Summer Term. Times table homework may also be given, as needed.
Homework
We anticipate a busy and exciting term ahead and we thank you in anticipation of your continued support. Your child is working hard to finish Year 4 strongly, to prepare them fully for Year 5. If you have any concerns or worries, please arrange a time to speak to one of us, as you play a vital role in your child’s education.
