In Spring 2, we will be continuing to explore the History of Transport as our main topic focus. 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!
PE
Indoor PE will be on Tuesdays and outdoor PE will be on Thursdays. 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!
Carry out a travel survey 🚗
What types of transport do you see? How frequently do you see them? Can you complete a travel survey in a different location? Or at a different time/day of the week? Do your results differ?
You could present your travel survey using a tally, bar graph, pie chart etc. You could analyse your data to see which modes of transport are more common/less common. Present your work however you wish! Attached is a link with an example template.
*Please make sure that you carry out your travel survey safely and with an adult's permission/guidance*
Travel surveys due in Mon 23rd March please.

Reading - Please 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 children 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. Children earn Dojos for demonstrating that they are recording their reading.
Spelling – We are sending home a new spelling log with spellings for each week, (Set A, B or C). We will teach the words and have spelling tests each week.
Maths – Please practise Timestable Rock Stars (TTRS) every day to practise recalling timestables up to 12x. The Soundcheck on TTRS is similar to the statutory Year 4 Multiplication Check which the children will take in June. This is essential for their maths progress, particularly as we are currently working on multiplying larger numbers and fractions.
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
