Key Information
-
PE Days will be on Wednesday and Friday. On PE days, we kindly ask that your child comes to school dressed in their PE kit. We will start our first PE lesson of term on Friday 5th September, so children will not need to wear PE kit on their first day of term (Wednesday 3rd September).
-
Please can all children have a named water bottle in school with them each day. This will be kept in the cloakroom area outside of the classroom, and children will be given regular water breaks throughout the day.
- Reading Books - by the end of our first week, children will bring home a reading book matched to their reading level, and a book of their choice to read for pleasure. They will also receive a reading diary. We expect children to read their reading book regularly at home. Please leave a short comment in their reading diaries to help us to keep track of the children's reading.
- Parent Meeting - Monday 8th September 3.45pm
After school on Monday 8th September (3.45pm), I will hold a short parent meeting in Apple Class. This will be chance to introduce myself and the rest of the Year 4 team, tell you more about our year, and give you chance to ask any questions.
- All children should wear uniform which should be clearly named.
- Please ensure your child brings a coat for outdoor play.
- Drop-off time is between 8:45 - 8:55am. Pick-up time is 3:30pm.
Here is the teaching timetable for Apple Class for this half term:
Maths
Over this half-term we will be working on our knowledge of Place Value.
Each day, children will revisit prior learning through Early Bird Maths questions in a morning and/or Flashback 4 within lessons.
The expectation by the end of Year 4 is that pupils know all their times tables up to 12.
Of course, we will practice these in school but they can also practice at home on TTRockstars, https://mathsframe.co.uk/ and https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths- games/hit-the-button.
Spelling
This half-term, we will be revisiting spellings taught in Year 3 as well as introducing new spellings. On the ‘Mid Term Plan’ document you will find the spellings we aim to cover each week this half-term. There is also a document showing you all of the Year 3 and 4 spellings children should know by the end of Year 4.
