Happy New Year!  

This term we will be exploring the History of Transport as our main topic focus. We will be visiting Williams F1 on Thursday 29th January (information previously sent).  Please see our topic web on the School website for more information about the curriculum areas covered this term.

Uniform

Please could you ensure that your child’s uniform, particularly jumpers, are all appropriately named, even if you simply write their initials on the label this will allow us to reunite them with their rightful owners!

Indoor PE will be on Tuesdays and outdoor PE will be on Fridays. Please ensure PE kits are in school everyday. Please make sure there are spare jumpers and/or long bottoms as we still go outdoors in the colder weathers.

Homework

Homework will be set on Google Classrooms but also provided here for your reference.

Project – This term there will be a project that spans a few weeks, to enable time for creativity!

Please keep a diary and record down what you do, how you feel and things about your day.  

We would like you to keep a diary for a couple of weeks. You could write in it everyday or every couple of days. We can send home an exercise book if you wish to use that and decorate it. Or please feel free to present your diary in another way – online, in your own book, PowerPoint presentation etc.  We hope that this will enable the children to show off their writing skills and improve their writing stamina.  

Diary projects will be shared with the class, so please ensure all projects are in by Monday 9th February please. 

Reading – Please encourage your children to read at home for at least 10 minutes every day. This can be any book from non-fiction, biographies, comics or fiction books. Please make sure they are writing in their reading record and please sign it (even if they have read independently). Their reading record should stay in their bag so they can write in it - in and out of school. We will collect reading records in daily and award Dojo house points for regular reading.

Spelling – We are sending home a spelling log (Set A or B) with spellings for each week. We will teach the words and have spelling tests each week. Please support your child in practising these.

Maths – Please practise Timestable Rock Stars (TTRS) to practise recalling timestables up to 12x. The soundcheck on TTRS is similar to the statutory Year 4 Multiplication Check. Log in details are written at the front of Reading records.

We are really looking forward to the term ahead and hope your child is too! Please feel free to come and speak to us or email the office if you have any questions.

Many thanks,  

Miss Ball and Mrs Terry-Smith 

Year 4 Teachers
