Summer Term 2
After a wonderful start to the Summer Term, we are now in our final half-term before the Summer holidays! Our topic this term is 'Ancient Egypt' We were so impressed with the beautiful posters created over the holiday; it is fantastic that the children already have a great insight into the Egyptians.
In Destination Reader we will be reading an extraordinary story set in Ancient Egypt ('The Secrets of a Sun King'). In Science, we will be looking at sound. A link to view our full curriculum can be found at the end of this page.
PE lessons continue to take place each Monday (am) and Wednesday (pm) until the end of the academic year. On Mondays, when PE is in the morning, children can come to school with their PE kits on. They can then change into their school uniform after PE. The PE kit remains unchanged - a white t-shirt and black bottoms with black trainers.
We have a 'soft start' from 8:45am (Tuesday - Friday). This is an excellent opportunity to address misconceptions within learning, so please encourage your chid to attend at this time.
Children will be given homework each Friday with the expectation that it is returned the following Wednesday. If you are experiencing any issues with Google Classroom, please do let us know. Spelling and Numeracy tests will take place each Friday. Children also need to bring their completed and signed reading records and book bags on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Reading records need to contain a comment based on the reading stem for that week.
This half-term Year 4 will be having their Multiplication Tables Check (MTC), so it is essential that children are supported at home with learning their times tables. This is an important skill for future success in Numeracy.
If you have any questions regarding any aspects of your child's learning or welfare, please do not hesitate to approach a member of the Year 4 teaching team. Thank you.
