Welcome to Class 4
Class Teacher: Mrs Porter
Class Support: Miss Ashton
Welcome back for the Summer term. Please read over this update class page for new information about what we will be learning, as well as for days and dates for PE and Forest School.
MathsThis term, we will be investigating fractions, decimals, more measures, and statistics, as well as using all the skills we have learnt so far!
English, Geography and HistoryMoving on from the Romans in Britain, we are now studying Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. These topics link to some lovely books and stories, like the old English epic poem "Beowulf" and the story "Odd and the Frost Giants".
ScienceDuring the Summer term, we will learn about states of matter, sound and electricity.
PEFor the first half of the summer term, we are lucky enough to have a coach come and and teach Tri-Golf to year four. This will mean some children will be able to represent our school at a Tri-Golf tournament in May.
You can learn at home too. Click on the buttons below to practice skills and have fun!

Outdoor learning.
The dates for the first half of the Summer term are:
PE is on Tuesday afternoons.
Please help your child remember that long hair must be tied back, and earrings must be removed. If your child cannot take their earrings out, please provide tape or plasters to put over the earrings, to reduce the risk of any injuries during the lesson. If you have purchased a CC logo tracksuit top and bottoms then your child will be able to wear their PE kit underneath this and come to school in their tracksuit. If you do not wish to purchase the tracksuit and bottoms, then your child must wear their school uniform to school as usual and keep their PE kit in school. HomeworkWe value the work parents do to support their child's learning through homework. In Class 4, the children are given both maths and English homework every week. The homework will be set on a Friday and should be handed in on the next Tuesday.
ReadingChildren are also expected to read at least three times a week, and to record this in their reading records. The books they read can be from school, home or the library. In Class 4, it is really important to spend time talking to your child about their reading, asking questions and giving them the opportunity to explain their understanding. In addition, it is an expectation that children bring their reading diaries to school every day so that reading done within school can be recorded and any comments or reminders can be written within them.
Multiplication tablesDaily practice of multiplication and division facts is also very important in Class 4 as you're going to need these facts on the tip of your tongue to help you to complete more formal calculations in class. We recommend that you spend 5-10 minutes each morning, possibly after breakfast, practising. There are lots of ways that you can practise: singing; matching cards; writing the multiplication and division facts down; using a timer to beat your score; or using an app on a tablet.
