This page is dedicated to all the exciting things we will be doing in class this year.

Welcome to year 4!  I hope that you all had a wonderful summer.  I am really looking forward to getting to know the new Hawks.  It is a privilege to teach your children and I hope that they enjoy this next step in their learning journey.

This term, we will be asking our big question – Can you imagine life without chocolate?  I couldn’t personally but it will be interesting to hear the children’s conclusions on this over the coming weeks.   

Some of our activities will be writing playscripts and retelling parts of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory through role-play, designing a new product for Willy Wonka to make at his factory and creating jingles to advertise these.  We will also learn how chocolate is made and where it comes from, as well as learning what Fair Trade is and why it is so important to the cocoa bean farmers.

‘States of Matter’ science learning will investigate temperature, melting, freezing and the stages of the water cycle.

Maths learning this term will be place value, addition, subtraction and daily times tables practice which will include a variety of both indoor and outdoor learning.

PE days will be Tuesday and Thursday.  This term, I will be teaching dance every Tuesday and Mr Hayes will teach PE on Thursdays during my PPA time. As per Mrs Crascall’s previous newsletters, children are to wear the correct school uniform to school every day and PE kits are to remain in school for the children to change into for their PE lessons.

Weekly spellings and times tables practice sheets will come home every Friday afternoon for practice at home ready for a spellings and times tables test the following Friday morning.

Please feel free to contact me with any worries or queries so that I can help both you and your child as soon as possible.  I look forward to meeting you all soon! 

All the best,

 Mrs Kennett.
