Dear Parents and Guardians,
Happy New Year and welcome back! We hope you and your children had a wonderful and restful break together after an action-packed Term 1 learning about ‘Body and Mind’ as well as ‘Visual Representation’.
We are now embarking on Term 2, which looks set to be equally as busy and fun filled as the last term.
In Discovery this term, the children will be addressing the question, ‘Can we change the world?’ In line with this, in English, we will be looking at the books Belonging and The Curious Garden as well as studying documentaries as a factual narrative.
Please continue to discuss your child’s learning with them. Much of their work is recorded within their Google Classroom and on Seesaw.
With regard to homework, we will be continuing with our regular system and schedule of:
- All homework is set in their blue home learning books on a Friday, to be completed by the following Friday. This consists of Maths, Discovery or English, and Spelling.
- Reading each night. Children are to record the title of their book and the pages that they read in their diaries on a daily basis. Please can you, as parents, sign this too.
- Students are to practise Mangahigh, TTRockstars and Spelling Shed at least once a week.
Please find the Year 4 Term 2 Key Dates linked HERE.
For more information regarding Year 4 for the academic year 2024–25, please refer to the linked Welcome to Year 4 booklet and the Key Stage 2 (Years 3 – 6) Curriculum Handbook, which can also be located on the Hub.
We look forward to welcoming you back to school very soon.
Best wishes,
The Year 4 Team
