Our Lady and St Philomena's Catholic Primary School
Year 4
Welcome to Year 4!
Teacher Name: Miss Nielsen
Teaching Assistant(s): Mrs Patera
We’re looking forward to an exciting year of learning, creativity and new challenges.
During Summer, we’ll be exploring so many new things. A big focus in maths is on achieving complete times table fluency, which we'll be completing the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC). In English, we will dive into persuasive writing around the novel The Boy at the Back of the Class to inspire sophisticated writing, focusing on structure and language.
Our RE topic covers Dialogue and Encounter, exploring St. Paul's commitment to announcing the gospel to the world and reflecting on the gift of unity Christ gave from the beginning. Scientifically, we'll investigate making connections. Finally, Geography will take studying the beautiful world of rivers. It's set to be a brand-new term and a year of significant growth and discovery!
Class Routines:
Our PE days are Tuesdays and Thursdays, so please ensure children come to school wearing their correct P.E. uniform on these days. It is vital that children bring a water bottle filled with water only every day; these can be refilled throughout the day.
Homework / Spellings:
Reading books must be brought into school daily as reading with an adult happens regularly. Homework and spellings will be given out every Monday (via paper and QR Code) and are expected to be returned completed by Friday. To consolidate learning, we hold our weekly spelling and times table tests every Friday.
Key Dates:
MTC - Week beginning 8th June
