In science, we will be learning all about Living things including humans. We will be looking at the digestive system.

Elm and Birch have P.E. on Tuesday & Friday

Tuesday - Outdoor P.E. (Sports around the world)

Friday - Outdoor P.E. (Orinteering)

Both English and Mathematics homework will be set every Friday. Homework will be set on Century and the children will have to complete it by the following Wednesday.

Children will be given 6 orange words (during RWInc Spelling lessons) which they will write in their spelling books. They will be practicing these in school and at home, before being tested on them. Children will be expected to go on-line and complete ‘Times Table Rockstars’. Every child has their own log in.

All pupils in year 4 will have two reading books: a school reading book especially catered to their reading ability and level and a reading for pleasure book. Pupils will need to bring in both reading books and their personal reading log to school every day.
