Year 4 A - Mrs Carswell 2023 - 2024

Welcome to Year 4

Our names are Miss Waters and Mrs Carswell. Learning in Year 4 is supported by Mr Barnes and Miss Latham. 

During the year, we will be looking at a range of topics in our class.

In Maths, we are looking at place value and the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division).

During Literacy, we are basing our writing on our class book ‘The Puffin Keeper'. We are also reading this book in our guided reading lessons and hope to spark our imagination to write poems, letters and biographies!

In the afternoons, we will look at a wide variety of topics, such as Sound in Science, Earthquakes and Volcanoes in Geography and the Romans in History.

Art

Children receive weekly Art sessions led by Mrs Walsh.

PE

Our PE days are Tuesday and Thursdays.  Please make sure that your child has a named kit, which includes black pumps or trainers, black shorts and either a green or white t-shirt. Long hair needs to be tied back.

All earrings need to be removed before school or the lesson for PE sessions. Where ears have recently been pierced, it is essential that children have their own plasters from home to cover their earrings. This needs to be done either at home or by the child themselves. This is in line with the school policy.

Attendance

Excellent attendance is vital for helping your child to achieve their full potential. Please ensure your child is in school promptly at 8.40.

School finishes at 3.15 and children continue to be collected from classrooms at this time.

Home learning

Spellings will be given out every Friday to be practiced at home for a spelling test on Friday.  Parents are encouraged to read with their children every day to support progress in reading and to help nurture a love for reading.

There will be weekly TT Rockstar battles against the other year 4 class, please ensure your child takes part as there now is a national year 4 times table assessment online.
