Welcome back to school and Happy New Year; we hope the children are well and are looking forward to their Spring Term learning.
The Spring 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.
Times tables remain a main priority right up to 12x12, and we appreciate your help in practising these at home. We will continue with regular Rockstar challenges in class, and at home, and our very popular ‘Superheroes’ work. We will also be practising regularly to prepare for the Year 4 Statutory Multiplication Check.
In our Science lessons, we will be exploring ‘Animals including humans’, exploring food chains and webs.
For more information about our learning this term see the Curriculum Overview.
Thematic
This year we are continuing with our exciting, thematic approach, allowing children to make connections between areas of learning and consolidate skills. All the themes chosen deliver the programmes of study for the National Curriculum and this term our topic is entitled “You’re Not Invited” and will link to many areas of the curriculum including History, Art, DT and Music.
MFL, R.E and Science will be taught discreetly.
P.E
Year 4 PE sessions are Mondays and Thursdays.
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 may be asked to remove earrings before PE sessions. Please ensure that children have their PE kit on, for their PE days shown.
Year Four have the opportunity to take part in a wonderful three-day residential in Conwy, Wales from Monday 18th to Wednesday 20st May 2026. During the Spring Term, there will be more information shared about our residential stay at Conwy in May 2026. This will include kit lists and medical forms. A reminder that instalments can be paid at any time this term, before balances are due on the 16th March.

Homework
Reading books will need to be brought to school each day please, and taken home each night.
Please encourage you child to complete times table activities such as Purple Mash or TTRockstars in preparation for our statutory test in June.
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.
We anticipate a busy and exciting term ahead and we thank you in anticipation of your continued support. Year 4 is a very important year. We will be in touch soon, with details of an exciting visitor for our new topics. If you have any concerns or worries, please do arrange a time to speak to one of us, as you play a vital role in your child’s education.
