Class 4VdB

 

A very warm welcome to 4VdB class page.

 

We are really excited about the Spring Term and continuing to work with all the children in 4VdB. We have some fun lessons and activities planned. We have been really impressed with how well the children settled into Year 4 and with how hard they have been working in class.

 

Working alongside the children this term will be myself (Mrs de Boer) and Mrs Johnson, who is my Teaching Assistant. We are looking forward to the term ahead. 

 

Our first topic this half term is history based and we will learning about the local shoe industry within Northamptonshire. During the second half of the Spring term, we will be studying a geography based topic linked to our exciting art project in collaboration with the National Gallery in London. There will be more information about this later on in the term. In science, our first unit of work this term is called 'Back Stage at the Castle'. Our second science topic is called 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs'.  In maths, we will start by looking at different types of fractions. In English, we are going to be looking at a picture book called 'Journey', followed by a poetry book called 'Cloud Soup'. In our reading sessions, we will be studying a book called 'Stig of the Dump', followed by 'Island', which is also a picture book.

There is more information on all of our units of work for the Spring term in the Year 4 newsletter.

 

Our P.E. days are Wednesdays (pacesetters) and Thursdays (swimming). Please come to school in your P.E. kit on a Wednesday. A reminder that P.E. kit needs to be a plain white T.shirt, black shorts and trainers. Jogging bottoms and a jumper can be worn for outdoor P.E. when the weather is colder. Jewellery (including earrings) must be removed for P.E. and long hair has to be tied back. For swimming on a Thursday, please bring your swimming costume, towel and hat into school in a bag. New swimming hats can be purchased on parentmail.

 

Homework will continue to be set each half term using a grid with a choice of tasks for the children to complete. We are looking forward to seeing some creative and well presented homework this term.

 

Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any queries or worries - we are here to help and you will find us on the playground at the end of most school days.

 

Here's to a really successful and enjoyable Spring term in 4VdB.

 

Mrs de Boer & Mrs Johnson
