On this page, you will be able to find information about our weekly routines and further details about the what happens in year 4.

Summer Term 2

The class have been busy the past few weeks creating their river masterpieces. Take a look at the steps we took to create our pieces. We started off scrunching up masking tape and placing these randomly on our artwork ready for our written messages later on. Then we made marks as a fish in the River Severn and the journey they may take. This was followed by responding to a range of river/water themed music where they responded in any way they wanted. The children were then tasked by creating a river background using anything but paint brushes to make marks. There was lots of excellent colour mixing and creativeness with the materials provided. Finally, we used old wallpaper scraps and plastic bags to create our fish and plants for the river. Finished artwork coming soon!

Check out our amazing artwork from our most recent art unit . A huge thank you to Reuben Heath for coming in to help the class with their St. George's Church artwork!

Homework

Homework will be issued on a Friday, to be handed in by the following Friday. It is expected that the children spend 20 minutes on each, but if they wish to spend longer, that is their choice. Usually, the maths work will be connected to the work that they have been learning in class that week. The English homework will be based on spelling, grammar or comprehension. Again, this should be for around 20 minutes.

Times tables practice is also important. The children will be taking a national online test at the end of the year up to x12. they will have 25 questions to answer, using a keyboard to enter their answers; 6 seconds for each question.

Reading on a daily basis is strongly encouraged and we are lucky to have a wide range of reading materials at the children's disposal.
