Welcome to our 2024-25 4W Class Page!

We have had a positive start to the spring term. We really enjoyed reading Atlas of Adventures and finding out all about the water cycle in our Geography unit! I am amazed with everyone's curiosity and enthusiasm in science lessons whilst we have been exploring electricity. You have also shown great perseverance and resilience in learning new strategies in maths - we'll keep practising these. I am really enjoying your resilience whilst we have been learning our times tables and practising them in preparation for our times tables assessment later this year.

Please remember to choose one homework task from your sheet of options and hand it in each Wednesday. This background knowledge will really help you in lessons and to remember what you have learnt in the future!

Take care,
Miss Weston

4W key information

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:  Every Monday, we go swimming in the afternoons, so please ensure you have your swimming costume and towel in a bag. We have PE every Friday afternoon this term, so please come to school wearing your PE kit on those days. Trainers MUST be worn.  

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 to school every day. Please ensure they are returned to our library once you have finished reading them so they can be swapped. In 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 the homework choices document below. Please stick your homework in your homework book and bring it in by Wednesday. Each time homework from the choice sheet is handed in, you will receive a housepoint. You will take your homework book home with you every 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 Thursday. Every Friday, you will take home your new spellings to learn for the following week.

Times-tables: 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 or in your homework book. Memorising times-tables will help support you in all areas of maths in year 4 and the rest of primary and secondary school.
