Welcome to Year 4

Mrs Bebbington, Mrs Colley, Miss Butt and Mrs Ridley

'The child grew and became strong in body, mind and spirit.'

At St. Peter’s C.E. in Year 4 we embed the COURAGE CURRICULUM into our school ethos, and it is interwoven into all aspects of our school life.

CULTURE: We promote our Christian ethos in daily worships and RE lessons. We look at the historical importance of our local area.

ORACY: In lessons we have discussions and debates. We are able to express our own ideas and opinions.

UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD: We look at real life problems in maths lessons. We attend educational trips which consolidate our learning and give our children real life experiences.

READING: We have been lucky to have a new library this year. Reading is a big part of our learning. The children can swap their books in the library, each week.

ARTS: We have opportunities to perform and act in music, PE and art lessons.

GROWTH: All of us in year 4 experience the growth mindset learning pit. With perseverance and determination, we manage to overcome our difficult challenges. Jigsaw lessons help us to grow.

ENQUIRY: We carry out many enquiries in Year 4. We complete science enquiries and investigations and make geographical enquiries.

In writing lessons this half term, the children will begin with their poetry unit Family Album. They will then move on to the text Gorilla by Anthony Browne.

Our maths units this half term are Place Value and Addition and Subtraction. We will also be working on Times Tables knowledge and developing quick recall.

Homework | The Forest High School

Homework is on Century Tech. Children should spend a minimum of 30 minutes a week completing nuggets or activities on their recommended pathway. In Year 4, children will receive two maths nuggets one week with one English nugget, and then the opposite ratio the following week. In addition to Century Tech, the children should read at least three times a week (logged in their reading records) and complete 30 minutes of Times Table practise on TTRockstars.

Spellings & Times tables tests

Both the Spellings and Times Tables tests will be on Fridays.

Reading

Each child has a reading book to bring home. They should read each day and update their reading records. Please listen to your child read and it would be great if you could ask them questions to support comprehension.

P.E.

Our P.E. lessons will be on a Friday. Please ensure that your child is sent in with the appropraite kit, bearing in mind that we will be outside wherever possible. All personal items should be labelled incase they get misplaced.
