Welcome to Dream Class – Year 4

A very warm welcome to Dream Class! We are delighted to have 27 enthusiastic children, all ready to learn, grow and achieve great things together. We have an exciting year ahead, filled with fascinating topics, new discoveries and plenty of opportunities to challenge ourselves, develop new skills and have fun along the way.

This year, we will be travelling through time and exploring the world around us as we discover:

• Ancient Egypt – uncovering the mysteries of the pharaohs, pyramids and ancient civilisations.
• Volcanoes and the Angry Earth – finding out about the incredible power of our planet.
• History of Transport in Our Local Area – discovering how transport has changed over time and shaped our community.
• Mountains of Europe – exploring magnificent mountain ranges, their landscapes and the people who live there.

We will enjoy lots of exciting, inspiring books linked to our English lessons. Through reading, writing, discussion and creativity, we will develop our vocabulary, build confidence and become enthusiastic readers and imaginative writers.

We will follow the Year 4 National Curriculum, developing our mathematical understanding, fluency and problem-solving skills as we learn to tackle challenges, explain our thinking and become confident mathematicians.

In RE, we will explore important people and events from the Bible, developing our understanding of key stories and themes and building a deeper knowledge of Scripture and its meaning.

Most importantly, Dream Class will be a place where everyone feels valued, supported and encouraged to do their very best. We will celebrate our successes, learn from our mistakes, support one another and make wonderful memories along the way. We cannot wait to see what this year brings. There is so much to discover, achieve and enjoy!

Let’s make it a fantastic year in Dream Class!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. We are always happy to help.

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 on Tuesday and Wednesday (Both Funda). 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 3 nuggets on Century Tech each week. Alongside this, it is important children are practicing their times tables in preparation for the Multiplication Check in the Summer Term
