Swallows (Year 4)

Class welcome

Welcome back! We hope you all had a lovely half term break.

We have lots of exciting learning ahead of us. This half term in topic we will be finishing off our geography work on mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes before moving onto the Vikings for our history lessons.

In English we are going to be continuing to look at the fiction book 'The Lost Thing' by Shaun Tan.

In maths we will be finishing our learning on fractions, before moving onto decimals. We are continuing to learn our Times Tables also in preparation for the Multiplication Times Table Check (MTC) in June. If you wish for any additional Times Tables work for at home to help your child, just let me know and I can provide this.

This term we have swimming weekly! We will be swimming on a Tuesday, so please make sure your child has their swimming kits with them in the morning.

Any information you may need will be put onto our class page and you can also find some useful links to websites at the bottom of this page. We also use Twitter to put videos and photos of the exciting work we have completed throughout the term so please check it regularly.

If you wish to discuss your child's learning, or anything else, please feel free to make an appointment with me, via the school office.

Thank you for all your support.

PE, swimming and music (flute)

PE is on a Friday in the Summer 1 term.

Swimming is on a Tuesday in the Summer term. (No swim kit = no swim).

Please make sure all children have a full kit, including both indoor and outdoor clothing every week.

Flute is on a Thursday. Please make sure your child brings their flute into school every week on a Thursday morning. If your child regularly forgets their flute it will need to stay at school to allow them to participate in the weekly music lesson.
