Year 4: Miss Thomas 2024 - 2025

I'm Miss Thomas the year 4 teacher and our Learning Support Assistant is Miss Boardman. Also in our class is Mrs Gargan who will be teaching PE and computing on a Wednesday afternoon.

PE will be on a Wednesday and Thursday this half term so please ensure PE kits are in for those days. 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 Rockstars 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 so many exciting topics that we are learning about in year 4.

In English we will be reading Leon and the place between by Grahame Baker-Smith.

In Guided Reading we will be reading Stone Age Boy and The Sound of Mucus.

In Maths we will be working on developing our calculation strategies for addition and subtraction and multiplication strategies.

In History we will continue learning about our new topic the Romans and in Geography we will be learning all about the geograpy of the UK, looking at Liverpool.

In Science we will be exploring magnets.

We will of course be practicing our creative skills in our music lessons and brushing up on our French!

Let's keep working hard in year 4 and look forward to celebrating Christmas.

Miss Thomas
