Welcome to Class 4

Hello! I hope everyone has had a lovely Easter break and are refreshed for the Summer term!

We have some exciting topics this term that I know the children are going to enjoy! In Literacy we will be reading 'The Promise' by Nicola Davies and writing a range of texts based on this including: an eyewitness account,  a diary entry and a persusive leaflet. As well as this, we will be looking at a poem called 'My Mother saw a Dancing Bear' and will be doing some performance poetry based on this.  In Maths we will secure our understanding of the four operations: +,-,x, ÷ as well as converting between different units of measurement and developing our problem solving skills. Please take a look at our curriculum overview to find out more about what we will be learning this term!

Homework

Homework will be sent out on a Tuesday and must be returned the following Monday, if not it will result in a detention. Children will be given a literacy/GPS challenge and a maths challenge, relating to the work we have been doing in class that week. Homework club is on a Thursday at 3:15-4:15. It is open to all children that require help that week. Pupils will be also given spellings on a Monday to be tested on Friday.

Reading

Please make sure that your child has their reading book and reading record in school everyday. We will ensure that your child's reading book is changed as and when they are ready for a new one. 

P.E

Our PE days have changed slightly this term- children will still have swimming every Monday morning and will need to be in school on time ready to leave at 9am sharp! This term we are lucky enough to have PE with Miss Ashton on a Tuesday and we will still have PE on a Wednesday with MCFC and Friday with Salford Red Devils. Please make sure they have a P.E kit in school on these days. Check our timetable or newsletter for information about when our PE days are and what kit you need to bring.

Any questions or queries, dont hesitate to come and speak to any member of the Year 4 team!

Thank you for your continued support

Miss Watson
