We care, we share, for the future we prepare

4S

Welcome to our 4S Class Page!

 

4S have demonstrated great enthusiasm and improved self-motivation so far this year! Their curiosity and engagement in science has been wonderful to experience, as has the kindness and support they show for each other and towards sensitive issues we discuss in class. 

 

We finished the spring term by reading The Iron Man by Ted Hughes. An exciting story which the children appeared to really enjoy. Some very creative instructions were written that show the progress children are making in English. 

 

We have some fun topics to explore over the summer term. Enjoy the warmer weather too but remember to pack sun cream in your bag and bring a bottle of water, especially on PE days.

 

Take care,
Mrs Stabik

Here you will find key information about what we will be learning at school and any work you may need to complete at home.

 

PE: We have PE on a Friday afternoon this term so please come to school wearing your PE kit on those days.  

 

Reading: Please read at home as often as you can (every day if possible) and fill in a line of your reading miles sheet, after every read. You need to bring your books into school every day. Please ensure they are returned to our library once you have finished reading them so they can be swapped. Year 4, you can change your books on a Tuesday and Thursday lunchtime. 

 

Homework: Every week, you need to complete any homework given out - see homework choices document below. Please stick your homework in your homework book and bring it in by Wednesday. You will take your homework book home with your on Friday

 

Spellings: Please ensure you practise your spellings every week. This includes learning the spelling pattern, learning the definition and being able to use the word in a sentence. We will test spellings every Tuesday. At the end of the day, you will take home your new spellings to learn for the following week.

 

Times-tables: Please, please ensure you practise your times-tables regularly. If you have access to an internet enabled device, enjoy playing Times Tables Rockstars – a fun way to practise and compete against your classmates! You can also practise your times-tables on Purple Mash, Literacy Gold and other apps and online sites such as the Top Maths Hit The Button game. Memorising times-tables will help support you in all areas of maths in year 4 and the rest of primary and secondary school.
