Hello and welcome to Class 4P!
I hope you have had a lovely summer, I can't wait to hear about all the things you may have gotten up to. Mrs Turnbull and I are really looking forward to welcoming you back soon!
Here are some of the fantastic things we will be getting up to this year:
Year 4 Enrichment Calendar (Updated)
General Information:
Please take the time to ask your child about what they have been doing, giving them the opportunity to share their learning. The Year 4 curriculum information page, contains more detailed information about what your child will be learning each week in school. This may prove useful when trying to engage your child in a discussions about what they have been doing at school. I can promise you they have been very busy and should have lots to share with you. Hopefully having this information can help to make those after school conversations more fruitful!

P.E.
Your child will be taking part in PE on a Tuesday (unless Swimming, which would be on a Monday) and a Thursday. 4P will be swimming at the end of Autumn term, more information will follow.
If your child is unable to take part in PE due to injury please write a note explaining the extent of the injury and which activities your child is unable to participate in so that we can find a suitable way of involving them in the lesson. If your child has a verruca, and therefore needs to wear their pumps when indoors, please send in a note marked for my attention. Earrings should be covered with plasters or tape for PE if they cannot be removed (please ensure your child is provided with something suitable on PE days) and long hair should be tied back. Thank you for your support.
Writing
We are working hard to increase our stamina for writing, our features within lengthy pieces and our handwriting. Reading plays a huge part in your child's writing so please ensure you are sharing stories with your children and listening to them read daily.

Maths
Times Tables –
Learning our Times Tables is very important in Year 4 as we pepare for our Multiplication Check. We need these skills as a base to help us alongside all the other concepts in Mathematics.
Please find more information on how to further support your child below:

Some helpful sites for children to practise their maths skills in a fun and interactive way:
Your child will have been given a login for Times Table Rockstars (this can be found on the front page of their diary). This is a great resource to use to encourage your child to practise their times table facts (and relate division facts) in a fun and interactive way.
