Welcome to Year 4 – Spring 2!

Here’s what we have to look forward to:
✨ Exciting new topics to explore

✨ 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. Let’s make Spring 2 our best one yet!
Reminders
PE this half term will be on a Thursday and Friday 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.
