Homework is set each week on Thursday and is expected to be completed by the following Thursday. Spellings will be checked on a Friday. A homework blog will be posted on Purple Mash every Thursday, so they have an overview for the week.

Our PE days are Tuesday and Friday.

These sessions will be held outside weather permitting. Your child isn’t required to bring in a PE kit this year but must have suitable footwear. If you choose to bring a PE kit to school, please only bring them on your PE days and then they should be returned home to be washed that same day. If your child wear jewellery, in particular earrings, they must be able to remove them themselves or alternatively choose not to wear any on a day they will be doing PE.

Please make sure your child brings a named water bottle into school, which they can refill themselves. Please make sure children’s clothes and lunchboxes are also named.

Here is our weekly timetable of lessons:

Autumn Term:

In our English learning this term we started by reading James and the Giant Peach and using this as inspiration for our writing and also to apply our reading skills to understanding it. In our writing we’ve been focused on how to make our writing interesting to the reader by using adjectives, adverbs and fronted adverbials.

After half term, our writing shifted onto a more formal style and focused on how to sequence our writing using paragraphing. During this time the children wrote non-chronological reports on elephants and dragons. Then they moved onto writing biographies about Marcus Rashford, Santa Claus, before researching their choice of famous person and using their notes to write.

Meanwhile, in Guided Reading the children enjoyed reading ‘How to Train Your Dragon – The Day of the Dreader,’ along with learning about different types of poetry also themed around dragons.

For Maths we started by learning about Number and Place Value. We have explored what each digit means and how to represent this, such as part whole models and using equipment.

After that, we moved onto measurement and perimeter before starting multiplication and division with a focus on tables and division facts.

During the afternoons, the children have been learning about many things, including: Ancient Egypt and Greece in history and ‘All around the World’ in Geography. While in Science, the children looked at  Classification and have since moved onto teeth and the digestive system.

This term Year 4 have been learning about Pop Art with a particular focus on the techniques used by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. To celebrate harvest, the children have been working on using their Pop Art techniques to create a piece of Harvest artwork. As you will see, pumpkins were a particular favourite. We hope you all enjoy the selection of artwork produced.
