As we settle the children, we will not be giving the children spellings this week. This is so we can sort the children into the correct spelling groups. Times tables will be set from next week as we are awaiting the children to be moved into the correct classes.

This week they only have 2 tasks:

1. Create a scientific poster about ‘Light’. They can decide what they would like to research as this will all help towards our science lessons.
2. Read to an adult at least 3 times (The reading diaries will be checked next Monday).

We will send the children home with their homework book tomorrow should they wish to produce the poster inside.

Year 4 swimming will be starting on a Tuesday. They will need their swimming kits and a towel. For anyone with longer hair, a swimming cap is required.

For P.E this half term we are looking at tag rugby, which will be led by a police officer, Andy Protheroe. His sessions will be on these dates 20th, 27th September and 4th October. For these sessions only, they will need outdoor P.E kits including trainers and jogging bottoms and a hoodie (if cold).

Please could all children bring their P.E in on a Monday to be left in their locker for the week. Therefore, if we have to change a session (except with Mr P) their kits will be available.

Thank you!

The Year 4 Team

This year we will be trialling handing out homework on a Monday. This will then be expected back on a Thursday (at the latest Friday). We have decided on these days to allow your children some relaxation time at the weekend.

Homework will consist of:

Either a Maths, English, Topic or science task.

Reading 3 times to an adult (over 7 days)

Time tables rock stars (3 times between Monday and Friday)

Spellings to be tested on Friday.

As the children will be spending two days with their new teachers, we are only asking the children to read to an adult 3 times and time tables.

The times tables will go online tomorrow so they have a couple of extra days to complete it.

We hope the children have a lovely weekend ready for an exciting week!

For your reference…

Monday & Tuesday – Transition Days

Wednesday – Open evening 3:30-6:00

Thursday – Party in the Park 5:30pm

This week the children have NO spellings! They will need to read to an adult at least 3 times and complete their TTRS homework.

Alongside this, we are asking the children to complete a task about their year 4 memories. They can present their memories however they would like. For example: a poster, a recount, a powerpoint or a written explanation.

The memories task is due in Monday 1st or Tuesday 2nd of July.

TTRS will go online Monday and will be due by Friday – this task is an online task not written.
