Year 4 What are we learning this year?

Welcome

We hope you and your families have enjoyed a lovely Easter break.  We have a great summer term ahead of us and our first value is 'joy'.  Please see below for curriculum information.

 

Please don't forget that Twitter is updated regularly, so you'll see lots of learning and experiences taking place on there. Miss Fallon can be contacted on info@stjohnsrc.net.

 

We will use Twitter to regularly share examples of the learning and experiences that happen over the course of each term.

 

Key Information

 

PE

Tuesday and Thursday

Children are to come into school in full school uniform and get changed into their PE kits on their PE days. Please bring full PE kits into school on these days.

 

Reading Books

We encourage children to read for at least 30 minutes every day. We would appreciate your support in helping them to find some time every day to enjoy a book.

Children will be given a book band reading book and a 'reading for pleasure' book to take home. There will be an opportunity to change these books every Friday.
