Welcome to Year 4!
Warwick and Windsor Classes

Warwick Class: Miss Williams (Class teacher), Miss Moss (TA), and Miss Greenhough (TA)

Information
Topic: In this half term, Year 4 will look in detail at the reasons for the Saxon invasion explore the evidence we have for the Saxon way of life at different levels of society. The reign of King Alfred provides a great way of linking the Saxons and the Vikings using the living graph; it also offers the chance to exploring historical interpretations. We will also learn about Saxon justice and investigate if the ‘Dark Ages’ were really all that bad.
Home Learning:
All Students will receive weekly home learning sheets, which we encourage this to be completed to support their learning.
Reading
Please read with your child as often as possible at home and record in their home school book which is checked daily. Half-Termly rewards will be provided for the students who continuously read and record it.
Spelling
Children will receive a weekly list of spellings to learn at home. These will be sent home every Thursday, and then checked in school the following week.
PE:
Year 4’s P.E times are as follows:
Monday (indoors) and Wednesday (outdoors)
We will be continuing with the daily run or movement activities, so please ensure that your child has suitable footwear to participate every day. PE kits will be sent home on a Friday to be washed for return on Monday.
