Summer 2 is here!  Let’s make it a fantastic finish to the year!

Hello everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed a restful break and are feeling refreshed and ready for our final half-term in Year 4.

What are we learning this half-term?

This term, we’ll be exploring the fascinating world of mountains. From towering peaks and breathtaking landscapes to the powerful forces that shape them and the wildlife that call them home, it’s going to be an engaging and inspiring topic.

School Expectations

To help your child thrive this half-term, here are a few key reminders:

  • Reading: Please ensure your child reads at least 3 times a week at home. Don’t forget to sign their home-school book. You’re also welcome to join us at Reading Lair!
  • DoodleMaths & DoodleSpell: Children should aim to stay in the green zone—this means around 40 minutes of practice per week.
  •  Gold Award Goals: Many children are working toward their Gold Award—but if your child is still on Silver, that’s absolutely fine! You can find the award criteria at the back of their home-school book.

PE

Year 4 will have PE sessions every Monday afternoon and Thursday afternoon.. Please ensure your child is prepared with the correct PE kit for each session.

PE Kit includes:

  • Red top
  • Black shorts or joggers
  • Jewellery must be removed, and longer hair should be tied up.
