General
In Maths, we begin with a variety of activities planned around place value. Then we will focus on strategies for solving addition and subtraction problems. 99 Club continues and we ask for your ongoing help in supporting the children learning times table and division facts.
Our topic changes each term, full details can be found in the "Curriculum Information" section at the bottom of this page.
AR quizzing is continuing in year 4 and we thank you for your support with this scheme. Reading with your children, and discussing stories/characters with them has enhanced their success!
In science this term we will be exploring sound. Computing work will involve e-safety and word processing.
P.E. takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. Please ensure your child’s clothing and P.E. kit is named and that they have a coat with them every day.

Learning Behaviour in Year 4
Each term we focus on a different learning power. In Term 1 our focus is Engagement and each class has worked on a set of class rules to get the best out of every day. Our learning partners encourage and support our ideas and we are aware that mistakes are part of the learning process.
