Welcome to Sun Class!

Welcome, Year 4!

The adults that work in this class are Miss Beardmore (Class Teacher), Mrs Perry (HLSA), Miss Knight (Apprentice Support Assistant) and Mrs Richards and Mrs Wiles (1:1 LSA). 

Our new learning experience is: Bake Off 

* Please see the Curriculum Newsletter above for more information.

This term our PE days will be on a Tuesday and Thursday. Please ensure children come to school in the correct kit on this day and that long hair is tied back. Children are allowed to bring daps to wear in the hall which can be left in a named bag on your child's cloakroom peg. We do not allow children to wear earrings for PE, so please can they be removed or taped over on these days.

How you can support your child at home:

• Talk about food – where it comes from and why it is important to eat healthily
• Ensure that your child reads at least 5 times a week and has the opportunity to discuss their reading with you. Please could you ensure this is recorded in their reading record.
• Learn times table facts up to x12, so the children can recall them without hesitation! Times Table Rockstars is great for this!
• Practise their spellings with them – lots of ideas on the inside of the reading record. 
• Talk about what they have learnt in school.

Class Rewards

In order to promote positive behaviour, we reward the children with: raffle tickets, smiley faces, fishy points (house points) and a reading treat. If the class is able to achieve 100 reads, then the children who contributed significantly will be able to choose a reward. In addition, we have a traffic light system for behaviour and if the children are on the star at the end of the day, they will receive a raffle ticket. This allows us to encourage the students to engage in their learning and reward those who are participating and show a positive learning attitude.

We are following the ULS Spelling Scheme, where they will be taught spelling rules from the Year 4 National Curriculum and Year 4 Common Exception Words.

Maths

In this section you will find booklets to support units of learning. 

Please spend time learning the multiplication facts (x3, x4, x6, x7, x8, x9, x11 and x12).
