Dear Class 4 and Grownups, 

Welcome to Year 4! We hope you have had a wonderful summer break and are feeling refreshed, ready for the new academic year and the change to the weather.  

I am very excited to be teaching your children more regularly, with some very exciting topics that will spark our imaginations and encourage discussion.  

Please find below an outline of our topic this term: 

A few quick reminders about class 4: 

• PE will be on Monday and Wednesday. Please make sure your child has a full (named) PE kit in all week. 

• Homework will be set on a Friday and due in the following Wednesday 

• Homework will include an activity and a twenty-minute session on TT Rockstars. 

• There will be a continued focus on times tables this term in preparation for the multiplication check.  

• I am a huge advocate of reading for pleasure but cannot emphasise enough how reading promotes learning. Children are expected to read several pages of their book at least 4 times a week and encouraged to write when they have read in their reading logs. An adult or sibling reading to the children and discussing the story is just as beneficial.  Finally, please remember our door is always open if ever you have any concerns or questions as it encourages analysis and children to begin to critique. 

We are looking forward to a fun and enjoyable term working with your children. If you have any concerns, questions or thoughts, please feel free to discuss. 

Kind regards, 

Mrs Coleman and all the Year 4 team.
