Welcome to Year 4

Weclome back! We hope you have had a lovely summer and that the children are ready for another exciting first chapter in Sycamore!

This half-term we will be exploring the past in Topic to see how times have changed for children through the ages. In Science we will be doing lots of exciting experiments to learn about digestion and our teeth. 

In English, we will be getting creative and writing lots of different style of poetry and in Maths we will be  learning all about place value. Please can you also encourage children to practice their times tables as much as possible. There are lots of maths games they can play on Topmarks online to make more fun or on times tables.co.uk. .

The children will be challenged to read as much as possible this year and there are lots of reading challenges for them to complete for track its and the Reading Award. 

Homework will be sent out on a Friday and the children will receive housepoints for bringing this back in before the following Wednesday. 

PE is on a Friday this year, so we would be grateful if children could bring their PE kits into school on this day. 

There will be a spelling test every Friday so please encourage children to practice during the week. 

We are looking forward to an exciting and productive half-term where we will strive to reach our potential together in Christ. If you need any assistance or have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at parents@st-marymagdalens.lancs.sch.uk

We look forward to seeing you all soon!
