Year 4
Weekly Update - Friday 19th December 2025
Summary of this week:
What a fun week we have had! Christmas fair days… building our D&T structures… making the Christmas decorations we designed in RE… creating Christmas artwork with paint… Maths Christmas code breakers… and so much more! Thank you and well done to all families who created a Rainforest homework project. We loved looking at these within our classrooms and the children were really proud to show off their hard work.
Our learning next term:
Maths: We will be exploring how to divide larger 3 digit numbers.
English: We will be exploring a portal story called “Elf Road” and learning about high quality descriptive language within fantasy writing.
Reading: We will be unpicking a non fiction text from the Horrible Histories collection: The Terrible Tudors!
Foundation:
In History, we will be exploring when and how the Tudor dynasty began.
In Science, we will be learning about sound and vibrations.
In PSHE, we will be discussing what our hopes and dreams for the future are.
In RE, we will be starting our new unit on Islam – exploring the question: Does praying at regular intervals help Muslims in their everyday lives?
In PE, we will be doing Tudor Dance with Mrs Line and Hockey with the PE coaches.
Homework:
Maths
The Maths homework sheet will be stuck into books and given out on Tuesdays – please could children complete this and hand it in by Friday so teachers can mark, provide feedback and hand back by the following week.
Spelling
Please continue to practise the weekly spelling words at home in whichever way your child finds most useful.
Notices & Reminders:
Just a reminder that Monday 5th is a teacher inset day, so children won’t be on site.
A final reminder for the parents that are helping on our Hampton Court trip – the meeting is planned for Friday 9th at 3.30 in Penguins classroom. We really appreciate you attending this, to be prepared ahead of the day.
We hope you all have a wonderful, restful Christmas and get time to switch off fully. Enjoy the break, stay healthy and we look forward to welcoming the children back in January.
Miss Bullock, Mrs Secker and Mrs McKenzie.
