Welcome to Year 4

Mrs Bebbington & Miss Butt

'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 be focusing on a text called ‘Where the forest meets the sea’ by Jeannie Baker & ‘100 facts | Rainforests’ by Miles Kelly.

The Art of Children's Picture Books: Where the Forest Meets the Sea ...

In Maths, we will be focusing on fractions and decimals. We will continue our focus on Times Tables with our weekly tests on a Friday.

Homework | The Forest High School

Homework is now 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.

Spellings & Times tables tests

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

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 return to a Friday this half term. 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.
