Year 4

Burgundy Class

Our teacher is Miss Powell

Our teaching assistants are Mrs Cann, Mr Macdonnell

Here’s what we’ll be covering this term in Year 4:

English

In English, we will be learning about using language for effect in our ‘Magic Box’ poetry unit, followed by ‘The Spider and The Fly’ unit where we will focus on reviewing and embedding correct punctuation and skills learnt last year and then a unit on explanation texts.

 

Maths

In maths, the children will be learning about number and place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We will be consolidating the children’s understanding of 3-digit numbers and developing their understanding of 4-digit numbers.

Topics that we will be covering across the term

Software Clipart Animated Computer ...
  • Art – Mosaics
  • Geography – The UK
  • Computing – An introduction to AI and Effective searches
  • Science – Teeth and the digestive system
  • PSHE – Being me in my world
  • RE - Festivals

PE

PE days are Wednesday and Thursday

For the first three weeks of term the children will be swimming every day. Details of equipment needed has been posted on Class Dojo.

After swimming has finished, PE lessons will focus on learning netball skills. 

In the Autumn Term, we are trialling children wearing their PE kits to school, rather than school uniform on PE days. Due to swimming, this will start from the week beginning 28th September for Year 4. Appropriate PE kit can be in the form of plain black tracksuit bottoms or plain black shorts and a plain white or red t-shirt. 

No jewellery is to be worn on PE days.

Homework

Children need to read at home at least 3 times per week and have this logged on Boom Reader.

Children need to learn their spellings each week. Spellings will be posted on Class Dojo on a Monday and will link with spelling lessons during the week in class. Pictures of the children’s spelling work they complete at home should be added to their portfolio on Dojo. Children will also be tested on their spellings – usually on a Friday.

Children must complete at least 20 minutes on TTRS at home every week. This is particularly important as they will have the multiplication check later this year, which is a national assessment set by the government.
