Year 4: Mrs Bond 2023 - 2024

Hello, and welcome to Year 4!

I'm Mrs Bond the year 4 teacher and our Learning Support Assistant is Miss Farrell.  Miss Thomaswill also be teaching geography and computing in our class on a monday afternoon and Mrs Gargan will be teaching science on a Friday morning.

PE will be on a Tuesday and Friday 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 cannot believe we are already in autumn term 2 and we have lots of interesting learning coming up this half term.

In English we will be reading Iron Man and How Doth The Little Crocodile.

In Guided Reading we will be reading Anglo Saxon Boy and The Sound of Mucas.

In Maths we will be finishing addition and subtraction work and beginning multiplication and division. We will be reviewing our times tables ready for their multiplication check next year.

In History we are going to continue our topic about Anglo Saxons and the Vikings which we are very much looking forward to, and in Geography the children will be looking at the geography of Europe and starting to explore Italy.

In Science we will be exploring sound!

We will of course be practicing our creative skills in our music lessons and with our art week where we will be looking at Frank Gehry.

We are so looking forward to our first half term!

Mrs Bond and Miss Farrell
