Groundbreakers (Year 4)

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child in to Year 4.

Groundbreakers: Exploring worlds gone by

Year 4 are becoming Groundbreakers , we begin by learning about rivers and the water cycle and then find out about the early history of Great Britain and the people that invaded. We will journey back to investigate the Anglo-Saxon tribes and the Viking invaders who settled on these shores. We then look across the Atlantic to learn about the Aztec and Maya people, finding out about chocolate as we go.

Home Learning

Usually, your child will be set weekly homework on Friday and be required to complete it by Wednesday of the following week. Sometimes, the homework will be research for work in class and may need to be in on a different day. Please encourage your child to work as hard on their homework tasks as class work and to hand it in on time. When it is a piece of writing, the school policy is black ink.

Other Information

P.E will be on Monday and Wednesday so please could you ensure that the children arrive wearing the correct kit in school on these days. Madame Robinson's French lessons are on alternate Tuesdays and music will be taught on alternate Thursdays. Mrs Ripley will also be working with the children in the mornings and teaching them on Friday mornings. Mrs Major will be teaching the children on Wednesdays.

Assessment for Learning

The new National Curriculum has set out clear expectations for what children should achieve by the end of each key stage. To track pupil attainment we are using Target Tracker, a system that has devised a series of statements that allow children, teachers and parents to assess progress in their learning in line with NC requirements.
