Welcome to Year 4!
We have a very exciting start to this academic year in Year 4 with lots of exciting things to look forward to. Mrs McGill is our class teacher and we will have support from Mrs Ward, Mrs Wilson and Miss Haswell. On a Wednesday afternoon Mrs Proud will teach.
We will be recapping and extending our understanding and knowledge in all areas of reading, writing and maths with lessons every day. Children should read at home at least 3 times per week and this should be recorded in their planner.
In Science we will be beginning with the topic of ‘states of matter’ where we will be carrying out lots of tasks and experiments to deepen our existing knowledge and understanding. We will be beginning our D&T this year by learning how to sew and make cushion. ‘How did Christianity come to the Kingdom of Northumbria?’ is our history topic which I’m sure will fill the children’s heads with lots of fascinating facts.
Our PE days will be Monday and Friday this year and we will be developing our ability and skill in netball and gymnastics as well as developing our mindfulness too. Children must come to school with their PE kit and footwear on both of these days.
Homework and spellings will be set every Friday on doodle. Children must remember to regularly play on Rockstars and Numbots in order to improve their mental recall of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts.
Year 4, Let’s get started!
