Welcome to Year Four!

Our Class Teachers are Mrs Butler and Miss Casimo.

Our Patron Saint in Year Four is Saint Andrew. We celebrate his Feast day on November 30th. On this day the Year Four children are allowed to wear their own clothes.

Please see the newsletters for further important dates!

R.E.

R.E. is our most important subject and is at the core of our curriculum. We do 2 hours of RE every week, a child led liturgy every week and four other sessions of collective worship including Mass or celebration every Thursday. Please look at the R.E. dates to see the dates of Mass and celebration for the term.

P.E.

PE may be indoors ot outside; this means we are dependent on the weather. Therefore, please make sure you wear appropriate PE kit.

Please ensure that your child wears the correct PE uniform to school on PE days. Full P.E. kit includes: a white T-shirt, blue/black shorts or tracksuit bottoms and trainers for outdoor use.  Football tops are not permitted. 

Children going swimming need trunks or a full swimsuit, a towel and goggles if desired.

PLEASE NOTE: NO SWIMMING in the Spring tem. Your child will have a second PE session on Friday, so they need to wear PE kit on Wednesday and Friday.

Maths

In Maths we will continue to develop our understanding of numbers and our skills for calculating. In Year 4 we will have particular focus on problem solving and times tables! We need to know all of our tables up to 12×12.

English

Each term we prepare at least 4 pieces of assessed writing. These are a mixture of fiction and non-fiction such as stories, letters, leaflets and many more. The children have regular grammar lessons, handwriting sessions and and a weekly spelling test which takes place every Friday morning.

The children have a reading record and we ask them and parents to sign it so that we can monitor their reading. In addition we have Guided Reading in smaller groups every week and those children who require extra support have extra sessions.

Homework

Each half term your child will receive a Homework letter with details of extra activities to further their learning. We also expect the children to read to an adult every night and practise their times tables.
