Year 4 Summer Term 1.

We are so excited to begin a brand-new half term together! This term is full of fantastic opportunities to learn, have fun, and make great progress.

Here’s what we have to look forward to:

✨ Exciting new topics to explore
✨ Creative activities and hands-on learning
✨ Challenging ourselves and building confidence
✨ Working together as a team
✨ Celebrating our achievements along the way

We can’t wait to see all the brilliant progress you will make this half term. 

Reminders

PE this half term will be on a Tuesday and Thursday please come to school in our school P.E kit. 

There will be two sets of reading books this year, a colour banded book and a reading for pleasure book. These will be changed once a week when planners have been signed.

In Key Stage Two homework will be set as a grid, with the children expected to complete one question a week from the grid. We also expect children to have read 3 times a week, practiced TT Rock stars and their spellings. Reading at home will be monitored weekly.

Spellings will be sent home on Mondays and put on our class page and there will be an informal spelling test in class on Fridays.

Children can bring in a healthy snack for break time or purchase toast for the term on the school app. 

Reminder- reading journals to be brought to school daily. 

No pencil cases or stationary from home are needed in school. Thank you. 

Here's what Summer 1 has in store:

In English we will head to Pompeii. Our focus text will be 'Escape from Pompeii'

In Guided Reading we will be reading 'Fantastically Great Women' and 'Emil the detective'

In Maths we will be learning all about measure and decimal numbers.  Our mutliplication practise will continue as we consolidate all of our times table knowledge from x2 - x12 as we prepare for the multiplication check. 

In History we will continue to delve into the depths of Ancient Egypt. 

In Geography we will be exploring Northumbria. 

In Science we will be completing our topic of animals inlcuding humans and move onto states of matter. 

We will of course be practicing our creative skills in our music and our language skills in our French lessons. 

We will also be having an exciting DT week this half term. 

We thank you for your continued support. 

Mrs Keevil, Miss Austin and Miss Johnson
