Welcome back Beech Class!

Our golden Thread this half term is BELONGING!

I hope you all had a wonderful, if not hot summer holidays! I am so excited to get started on some inspiring topics this half term. In science we are going to be learning about skeletons and movement. In history we are going to learn about early Islamic history.  In RE we are learning about how trees can be used as a symbol. To find out what else we will be learning this year please look at the yearly overview. 

Spellings 

Spellings are set on a Friday and tested the following Friday. Spelling rules will be taught during spelling lessons but it is important you practice your spellings daily. 

PE

We do not have set PE days so PE kits need to be in school every day and taken home at the end of the week and brought back in for monday. Please make sure everything is named. 

Times Tables 

The multiplication tables check takes place every Summer for year 4 pupils. Each child needs to answer 25 random times table questions, with 6 seconds to answer each question. You will be taught tables in Maths but it is really important you practice your Times Tables. TTRS is a great way to do this and every child has a log in for this. 

Swimming 

We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to do swimming this half term. It will take place on a Tuesday afternoon, starting 8th September. 

Bags 

As space is limited in our cloak rooms, we kindly request backpacks ar not brought into school. A bookbag is sufficient to carry their reading book and library book. 

Homework 

Homework should be completed once a week. The activities for each half term are under the homework tab. One activity should be completed a week for the opportunity to earn a raffle ticket for the Beech class raffle to be drawn at the end of each half term. The more homework you complete, the more opportunities you get to win in the raffle!
