Welcome to Year 4 - Autumn Term 2025

Mrs Hurst, Mrs Whiter and Miss Lazar

Welcome to the the first term of Year 4. 

Our values this term are friendship and truthfulness under the umbrella of forgiveness. 

P.E. will be on Tuesdays (gymnastics) and Wednesdays (tennis) so please come to school in your P.E. kits. 

If you have a sports club after school, please come to school in your school uniform and bring your P.E. kit to change into. 

General Reminders 

• Winter uniform is grey skirts, trousers or shorts with a white shirt, tie and green school jumper or cardigan.  Please remember that school hoodies can only be worn with P.E. kit.
• Hair that is long enough to be tied back please do so fully using a green or hair-coloured band. 
• No nail varnish please.
• Plain gold / silver stud earrings only.
• Your child may wear a watch or Fitbit but these must be removed for P.E.
• No other jewellery such as friendship bands etc is permitted.
• If your child wears a religious adornment, please let me know.

Absolutely NO NUTS in school please.

Please remember to send your child to school with the stationery listed below.  Pencil cases will be sent home at least each half term so items can be replaced as necessary.

Information for Parents

Multiplication Tables Check

Homework

English and Maths homework will be set on Teams every Friday and is due in the following Friday. Homework is to be completed in the pink homework books unless stated otherwise. If children finish their homework before Friday, they can bring it into class and place it in the box. Each piece of homework should take a maximum of thirty minutes. 

Children will bring home a blue spelling book. Please do not practise their spellings with them in this book. It is only to be used for writing new spellings in which they will receive each Friday. The test will be the following Friday.

Children can go on Spelling Shed or TTRS should they finish their homework early or want to do a bit more. 

Please try to hear your child read their reading scheme book every day, just for 10 minutes. It really does make a difference! When your child has finished a book, please write in their reading record. Your child will then put their book and reading record in the box in the classroom to be checked. 

I would like to challenge the children to read as many books from the suggested reading list as possible. They will be celebrated in the classroom and on the webpage so please let me know once they've completed a book and email a photograph of them with the book. They can read the books themselves or have them read to them. We have a class library, which they can borrow most of the books from.
