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!

During the Autumn term, we will be looking at Ancient Egypt in History and Electricity in Science. 

In Math, we will start by learning about numbers to 10,000. Place value helps with all aspects of maths. This will then lead on to addition and subtraction. Alongside our maths lessons we will be doing regular reasoning, arithmetic and times tables sessions. To help your child with this further at home it is important they continue to practice their times tables in preparation for the Multiplication Check at the end of the year.  

In English we will be looking at the story of the 101 Dalmatians. From this we will also look at other versions of Cinderella and discuss differences throughout the versions. We will be writing our very own version before the end of term and be sharing these with others.

Our P.E days are Wednesday (Coach ) and Friday (Cricket with Chiggy). 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 so if your child wears earrings they should be able to remove them before the lesson otherwise they will be given an observation role.

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 Autumn Term will be on Wednesday (Coach) and Friday (Cricket with Chiggy). 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
