Year 4 - Miss Austin & Mrs Keevil 2025 - 2026

Hello, and welcome to Year 4. 

We are Mrs Keevil and Miss Austin, Miss Austin will teach Monday and Tuesday, Mrs Keevil will teach Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Miss Johnson is our learning support assistant. 

PE this half term will be on a Tuesday and Thursday so please ensure PE kits are in school. We will keep the kits in school and send home for washing at the end of each half term.

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.

We have lots of interesting learning coming up this half term.

In English we will writing based on Gorilla by Antony Browne.

In Guided Reading we will be reading The Iron Man by Ted Hughes.

In Maths we will learning all about place value.

In History we will be looking at a new topic Ancient Greece. 

In Geography we will be learning all about Italy.
