Year 4

Welcome to Year 4

The teachers in Year 4 are: Miss Hodgen (Year Leader, Class 4), Ms Thurley-Ratcliff (Class 5) and Miss Humphrey (Class 6).

Currently, we have 4 teaching assistants. Miss Grant-Berry is in Class 4, Miss Biles is in Class 5 and Mrs Kersley and Mrs Green are in Class 6.

P.E.

This term our P.E. lessons will be on a Tuesday (usually indoors) and Wednesday (usually outdoors with Mrs Costen). PE kit should come in on Monday and then will be sent home on Friday.

Homework

In Year 4, all our homework will be set on a Thursday and will be collected in on Tuesday.

Each week we will set 2 main pieces of homework - English and Maths. The homework is designed to help the children consolidate or extend work that they have been doing in class. The English home work will include spellings to learn for the week and how to practise them. Also, it will include a reading comprehension task for a book they are reading at home. Reading at home each evening is encouraged at home with an adult 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.

All Year 4 homework will be uploaded onto Google Classroom each week, so that you can access it easily from home. We will also upload home work for children who may need to isolate. We do not set homework in during half term holidays, with the exception of the summer holiday.

We applied our knowledge of negative numbers outdoors, rotating between three fun activities. The children thoroughly enjoyed this lesson!

Parent Outcome Event - Spring Term

Thank you to all the parents and guardians that came to our outcome event! The children really enjoyed sharing their work with you and creating this collaborative collage, linked to our current Art and Geography units.

Portals to the Past February 2023

We had our Portals to the Past workshop where we learnt all about the Vikings!

In the morning, we did an inquiry looking at Viking artefacts where we had the chance to hear all about different artefacts, hold them and ask questions about them. We also completed an inquiry with a quiz about different aspects of Viking life by reading information and making our own judgements based on this information and we played a traditional Viking game. In addition, we looked at Kennings and had a go at writing our own!

In the afternoon, we studied Viking weapons and armour with a demonstration from Sig. Then, we had a go at practising spear throwing in a competition between all the classes. We finished with a traditional fighting game and hearing the story of Odin and Freyja.
