Welcome to Woodpeckers 2023 - 2024!

SPRING TERM

Term 4

 

Mr Price and Miss Richards are our class teachers and Mrs Clark is our teaching assistant. Mr Price teaches year 4 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Miss Richards teaches year 4 on Thursdays and Fridays.

FOREST SCHOOL TERM 4

 

Forest School takes place in all weathers and clothes will almost certainly get dirty! We recommend: - Long-sleeved tops and full-length trousers, whatever the weather - Layers are best for unpredictable weather - Waterproof coat (and trousers if you have them) - Hat (for warmth or for shade, depending on the weather) and gloves if it's cold - Wellies (or trainers/shoes that you don't mind getting muddy)

Please can children wear their Forest School clothes to school on Forest School days and bring their waterproofs and wellies/outdoor shoes to change into.

Welcome to year 4! 

Information:

On this page, we have included the  curriculum plan for the year so that you can see what we will be learning about. Please also find the year group spellings. We will be learning these in school but it is always beneficial to practice these regularly at home also.

On Thursday 14th September, there was an opportunity for parents and cares to come into school and to meet the year 4 teaching team! Please see the powerpoint presentation for this session below.

Class Information 

Please see scroll down  for our curriculum plan.

 A few things to note

P.E: 

 

Swimming lessons are now finished for year 4 and P.E. lessons are back on a THURSDAY and a FRIDAY!

Thursdays will be outside. Please can children arrive in PE kit on Thursdays and Fridays.

Thursdays it would be worth bringing a spare pair of socks and shoes (and a carrier bag) as it may be muddy and wet as the term goes on.

Spellings: The copy of the Year 3/4 spelling list is here

Reading: As usual, we ask you to read 5 different times at home each week to an adult. The adult will need to sign your reading record after you have read. Most children are free readers now.  Children can bring a book from home or choose one from our class book shelf. We are here to help you choose a great book if you would like this. Please remember to always bring in your reading record every Friday for us to check your reads and then give you your well deserved raffle ticket for 5 reads and a parental signature.

Homework:   Weekly homework will be set on the Learn platform on a Friday and also printed and should be completed in the homework book provided. Homework is due in the following Wednesday. Everyone is expected to complete homework. We would like you to continue reading (as described above) as this is one of the most important skills to keep developing. Additionally, please continue to learn and practice your spellings and times tables each week. Everyone has a rock stars login which you can use as often as possible. 

Times Tables: These are especially important in Year 4 as we will be taking part in the national Times Tables tests. We will be practicing a lot in class but please try your best to become a true Times Tables Rockstar at home!

 

All children have been reissued their TTRS passwords where needed. Please do let us know straight away of there are any issues logging on.

 

Below are PDF versions of our class timetable curriculum overview and suggested reads for you to download.
