Welcome to Year 4 - Dream Class. We have 31 children in Dream class this year, all striving to achieve their own personal goals. I, Miss LeVardi, am the Year 4 teacher and alongside myself will be Miss Rusden. We all share the same goal - to guide, support, learn, laugh and make memories. We are looking forward to the exciting, and hard-working, journey ahead!

We are very excited to welcome the children in Year 4 back again for the Spring Term. 

This term, we will be learning continue our learning. Within English lessons, we will be exploring the text Sky Chasers and working on including direct speech, fronted adverbials, adverbial starters and noun phrases. In Maths, we are going to continue our work on multiplication and division, fractions and time.

In history, we will be learning about transport in the past and how this has changed over time. While we are learning about transport, we will visit the museum in Whitworth and go to the library for a workshop. We will also be learning about states of matter in science. We will also be making mechanical cars in DT during the week of 2nd February. 

Our P.E days are Monday (Swimming) and Tuesday (PE with Coach Tom). Please ensure your child is in the correct uniform on PE days: plain black leggings/joggers, school logo t-shirt, trainers.  No jewellery is to be worn.

For homework this year, we will continue to complete four nuggets each week (set as assignments). Children have also been given a target for the half term to aim to beat so they can earn an additional reward at the end of the term. Children should be reading a minimum of 15 minutes per day to ensure they are on track with their reading.

Your child's well-being is of vital importance to us and we want to ensure that they are happy and progressing. If you ever have any queries, questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us via my staff email:

Routines in Class

At the start of the day, children will enter the classroom where they will settle into Number Sense which is a new programme we are using for times tables this year. 

Morning break will be at 11am (other than a Friday which is 10:30am). If you wish, you may send a healthy snack in with your child for them to consume at this time.

Reading:

We ask that you read with your child as often as possible.  Children are expected to quiz fortnightly on Accelerated Reader. This helps aid their fluency and stamina to digest larger volumes of text that are expected within the Year 4 curriculum. Children have also been given an individual target for the term. If your child reaches their target or beats it they will have a trip to the park to celebrate their achievement.

PE:

PE in Spring Term will be on Monday (swimming) and Tuesday (PE with Coach Tom). Children should come into school dressed in their PE kits. This consists of: Black leggings/joggers, PE Top and hoody, jumper or cardigan. Please ensure that all earrings and jewellery are removed for sessions. 

Homework:

Children are expected to complete 4 nuggets on Century Tech each week, 2 maths and 2 literacy. Alongside this, it is important children are practicing their times tables in preparation for the Multiplication Check in the Summer Term
