P.E.
Each week, the children will have two sessions of PE - one indoor session (Monday) and one outdoor session (Wednesday). Children should come in to school wearing their PE kits on these days.
PE kit should consist of a red or white t shirt and black shorts (no football kits thank you). Black leggings/tracksuit trousers are advisable for colder weather. Dark blue or black hoodies are also advised for outdoor PE (no brightly-coloured hoodies please). For more information about PE kits, please see our school uniform section.
Home Learning
In Year 4, all our home learning will be set on a Thursday and will be due on Tuesday.
Each week we will set 2 main pieces of home learning - reading and times tables. The homework is designed to help the children consolidate or extend work that they have been doing in class. The reading home learning will be set on Purple Mash (https://www.purplemash.com/sch/hatch-warren-junior-school#/). It will include a reading comprehension task and some other short activities related to the text. Reading at home with an adult each evening is encouraged as this will help with their comprehension task. Maths homework is currently TT Rockstars practice in preparation for the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check in June.

What have we been up to?...
Viking Day!
On Friday 19th January, we had a Viking guest spend the whole day with us in school working on a range of different tasks. All of the children had a great time learning more about Viking culture and they showed a special interest in the afternoon when they got to see the armour and weaponry that the Vikings would have used. The children had a great time and learned a lot from the visit. We would like to thank the Friends of Hatch Warren for funding this visitor.
